Just about everything in this lavish, animated feature is for the pigtail set.

Forgettable.

Not only historically dubious, but the dullest Disney animation for years.

Top Critic[A] handsome, deeply felt, even more deeply reverent animated musical.
09/02/08
Overall, Pocahontas is a triumph as a visual experience (though the music is unusually bland), but a disappointment as a film.
09/02/08
Overall this seems like a reasonable stab at an impossible agenda.

All Disney has really done in its disappointing 33rd animated feature is revive the stereotype of the Noble Savage.

Top CriticThe Disney artists have created a vivid palette for the picture.

...being away from its high-powered predecessors, it has marched on well on its own.

Pocahontas is a touching tribute to the power of loyalty, courage, cooperation, and, more than anything else, sympathetic understanding.
04/29/05
True to the film's idealized spirit, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg similarly fend off history.
