Disney's direct-to-video sequel to their 1995 hit places Pocahontas in harm's way in London, where she is almost tossed into jail and has some other mishaps. She's not alone, however: a cute raccoon named Meeko does a nice job as the obligatory funny animal. The songs are about as memorable as those in the first film, but the art and animation maintain far higher standards than most animated sequels dumped onto tape. If you don't drive yourself nuts thinking about the appalling historical revisionism at work here, this is passable family entertainment. --Tom Keogh
Description
All the magic of Disney's Academy Award(R)-winning film POCAHONTAS (Best Original Song, 1995) continues in a fun-filled adventure that finds Pocahontas setting sail for an exciting new world, England. With her comical companions Flit, Meeko, and Percy, along for the ride, this spectacular film promises plenty of thrills and laughter for everyone. As an ambassador of peace, Pocahontas is swept away by London's "curious" customs. Attempting to fit in, she makes friends with the dashing English diplomat John Rolfe, and Mrs. Jenkins, his lovable housemaid, both of whom help Pocahontas prepare for her debut at the celebrated Hunt Ball. There, she must convince the King of England that her people are truly civilized in order to stop an armada moving against them. Pocahontas soon finds herself at odds with the scheming Ratcliffe, but when a mysterious stranger comes to her rescue, the courageous Pocahontas must choose between the love of her past ... and the path to her future. Told through brilliant Disney animation, five incredible new songs, and unforgettable characters, POCAHONTAS II: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD, is alive with all the colors of a Disney classic.

 USED DVD's (GREAT) August 26, 2008
I am very satisfied by purchasing at Amazon, specially used dvd's and books. They are great products and very reliable. I bought Pocahontas II for my 13 year old daughter, and she couldn't believe it was used. Thank you very much for being there.
 Eh.. Not so great. May 6, 2008
Like nearly everyone else, I was not impressed with this movie at all. My nearly 3 year old loves Pocahontas and will sit thru the ENTIRE movie over and over but was bored within 30 minutes of watching this. To be honest, I was over this movie from the beginning. In the first one, Pocahontas spoke normally and in this one she sounds like she is just learning English. That just annoyed me throughout the whole movie. The ending was disappointing as well.
Better for Kids than Adults February 26, 2008
To rate this movie fairly, I have to include both my opinion and that of my 3-year-old daughter. To me, this film is pretty bad. The original had great animation, great music, and a moving storyline. The sequal has average animation, mostly bad music and a convoluted storyline that tries too hard to balance fact and fiction regarding the true story of Pocahontas. BUT, my 3-year-old daughter, who loves the first Pocahontas as well, likes this one just as much. She likes the fact that Pocahontas goes to England and gets all dressed up in a ball gown, making her look more like the other Disney princesses. My daughter also doesn't seem to mind the lame jokes and the weird storyline that has Pocahontas winding up with someone other than the "prince" from the first movie. So for adults like me, I'd rate it 2 stars. My daughter would probably give it 4, so my official average rating is 3!
 Worst Disney Movie February 17, 2008

I've never shut off a Disney movie before. I was half way through and I couldn't take it anymore. The original is one of my favorite Disney movies, it's visually stunning and so full of emotion. This second rate rip off evokes no emotion except frustration and anger that I actually paid money for this piece of garbage.
Reversing a lie never works July 30, 2007

Alright here's what I think. The film only had two decent songs: "Where Do I Go From Here" and my favorite, "Between Two Worlds". That London song was crap. The thing most people seem to be mad about is that Pocahontas ended up with John Rolfe instead of Smith. And I don't blame any of yall one bit. The sequel totally dashes all of the imagination and magic of the first film because of this. Disney wasn't concerned with historical accuracy in the first film. Why bother with it in the second? Disney should have never made Pocahontas and Smith fall in love in the first place if they were so concerned with adhering to history. If you're gonna lie, complete the lie. Finish the lie so that it makes sense. Don't cut it off before it is told. The reason why Disney screwed up is because they started of with a lie and then tried to reverse it by telling the truth. Not a good idea. They should have told the truth from the beginning if that was the case. Pocahontas should have ended up with John Smith, historically accurate or not. As some of you previously mentioned, it's Disney, not history.
