The listing, VHS DISNEY'S "POCAHONTAS 11 (2) LOVELY TO VIEW. LESSONS TO LEARN,SHE GOES TO ENGLAND! EXCELLENT! has ended.
Meeko, Flit and Percy, these the are names of the original animal friends who get in and out of mischief, befriend each other and accompany Pocahontas in the vast Winter panorama of colonized North America to the hustle and bustle of 17th Century London. That is the setting for "POCAHONTAS II."
This is an excellent sequel. I never thought I would be saying that about a direct-to-video movie. I was wrong and "POCAHONTAS II" is a strong testament to that.
The film is very faithful to the original characters all around. With the introduction of John Rolfe the story follows the historic Pocahontas as she crosses the Atlantic as the Indian Princess and emissary of her people to London to be received at court and be lionized by English society.
Eventually she confronts Governor Ratcliffe and the real drama begins. Ratcliffe is much more a villain in this film than he was in the original "POCAHONTAS." To give any more details would be inappropriate. There are many surprises along the way, but Meeko, Flit and Percy are featured throughout so it makes this excellent family fare. There are also at least five knew songs that I was able to count. They were very good and fit each scene perfectly.
I was really impressed by the artwork on this feature. This time we get to see the North American virgin land of towering forests covered with Winter's snow, frozen waterfalls and white covered cliffs drawn again with a freedom and energy that posses real power and reverence for the land. In contrast we get to see London congested with buildings and people, horses and carriages crowded in cobble stone streets. Most important to any film, it has a good story, which combines the settings and narrative perfectly EXCELLENT! Postage $3 to PayPal
