Pocahontas (Disney Gold Collection) [VHS]

Pocahontas is one hour and twenty-one minutes long and released in theaters on June 23, 1995. The film takes place in the year 1607 on a voyage from London to James Town. The crewmen are basically looking for adventure, Governor John Radcliffe (the leader of the expedition and unknown to the crew) is seeking to find gold mainly because Spain has found gold in Mexico and South America and this is his last chance to redeem himself. Captain John Smith is also part of the crew mainly for the adventure. Once the ship lands in the New World, Governor John Radcliffe hands out the shovels and picks and orders his men to start digging. Meanwhile John Smith is scouting the land for any Indians that might be unfriendly to the settlers. While scouting the land, he meets Pocahontas and the two quickly bond. John Smith explains to Pocahontas that the expedition here is to look for gold and Pocahontas tells John Smith that her village has no gold. John Smith returns to camp and explains to the crew and Governor John Radcliffe that the Tsenacommacah people have no gold. Governor John Radcliffe believes this is a lie and plans to attack the tribe at first sunlight. John Smith sneaks back out at night to warn Pocahontas and her people. Kocoum comes looking for Pocahontas and finds John Smith there with her. Kocoum attacks John Smith and is killed by Thomas who is trying to save John. John Smith is brought back by the village to be killed the next day. Before Chief Powhatan can kill him Pocahontas intervenes and saves John. The crew sees this and puts down their weapons; however Governor Radcliffe thinks this is a trick and aims his musket at Chief Powhatan to kill him. Captain John Smith saves Chief Powhatan and is serious wounded. In the Captain John Smith is taken back to London for treatment of his wound and Governor John Radcliffe is sent back to London in chains.The main thing I did not like about the movie and did not mention above is the character of Grandmother Willow which is a giant willow tree with a women's face. Those scenes just made the movie weird. Pocahontas is the first Disney movie to be bases on a real life person even if the movie did interpret the events correctly. Pocahontas is an enjoyable movie to watch and gets an A+.DVD EXTRASChapter SelectionSet UpBonus MaterialA. Pocahontas Read-AlongB. Pocahontas Trivia GameC. Music Videoa.

My baby loves this, the music is catchy and it’s a very interesting cartoon. Very funny too, I fully recommend for the family

It came just in time and I love it. The DVD itself is in great condition despite it very long life.

I am huge disney movie fan and Pocahontas is one of my favs for music - maybe not politically favorable right now - but I listen with my heart. The music is so beautiful and the film is as beautiful visually as you would expect a disney movie to be. I love the whole online ordering - no DVD to store, download on most any device OR stream from your Prime account.
