POCAHONTAS (Theatrical Release USA 1995)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Pocahontas definitely stamps itself with the Disney brand’s standard fare of outstanding animation, terrific original musical scores, and well-timed scenes that pull at the heart for emotional involvement. This film is a good introduction to a small piece of early American history without the pain of the usual history lesson. It’s a very good child/adult share film.
