- So we begin another one of many Direct to video Disney Sequels with Pocahontas 2: Journey To A New World. If you know my thoughts on the original then you know that I'm not very fond of Pocahontas to begin with... Can the sequel do better?

Let's be real, Judy Kuhn (The singing voice of Pocahontas) has such an amazing voice!
Only to be wasted on meh songs.
It be like that, sadly ☹️
Dude, are you kidding? Colors of the Wind is legendary
My cousin and I was given two Disney Pocahontas movies. One original my cousin had and one sequel left with me. Really mom? As soon I was born I had most of the Pocahontas assessories including a birthday cake and a dog name Pocahontas! RIP Poci
a Gentle reminder that Radcliff was a noble and back in the day of the time II takes place, commoners turning against a noble would be a death penalty offense.
Meaning very likely when he was taken back, he was simply released shared his story with the King, whom was outraged of the loss of Gold.
and likely had all of them executed.
RASOR: Because Disney hates history apparently.
ME: That explains why their remaking all their animated movies in live action, as well as remaking some of FOX"s movies.
@Weird Content Guaranteed Exactly.
Next their gonna remake the awful sequels like Bambi 2, Cinderella 2, Little mermaid 2 and the others in live-action. Yikes :S
Though, to be honest, if we _really_ wanted to be historically accurate, Pocahontas would actually be a twelve-year-old girl... and voiced by a twelve-year-old girl.
And nice that the romance is more believable, especially since these two actually get married in real life.
@SEGASister, I agree on that one. If I was the director of the movie, I would give the ending a more bittersweet note if you get my meaning.
It is? Wasn’t believable to me I could give two shits about what actually happened in history 🙄
Yeah the romantic development was more natural but it still is uncomfortable when you remember that Pocahontas only married John Rolfe mostly to stop the English from attacking her people and also because she was being held prisoner.
@@kenthuang436you do realize John Rolfe wasn’t a good person either right? This movie was even more insulting
No it wasn’t. The “romance” between Poca and Rolfe is honestly one of the fakest I’ve ever seen in my entire life. All he does is spend the ENTIRE movie trying to get Pocahontas to fit his definition of a perfect English lady instead of being in love with who she truly is like Smith did. Plus, he’s the one who almost dies in the first movie saving her dad from being shot. Rolfe literally doesn’t even try to save her until Smith dragged his a** to the dungeon. Rolfe was a sexist jerk who didn’t deserve Pocahontas and I frankly don’t give a crap about historical accuracy, especially when you consider Rolfe was NOT a great person in reality.
In the bar scene an old man says “what’s a guy gotta do to get some descent head around here?”
I kid you not.
The hell happened to ratcliffe's and powhatan's character design?
Ratcliffe? his character feels hollow now. And he kinda looks scary, his facial expressions are just weird and unnatural
Powhatan's headress was completely different, his design is just....no
he has no lips y did they do. that
Easy, much lower quality animation compared to the 95 film ...that's why Mel Gibson's lesser known brother voiced John Smith in this film instead of Mel, funny though, Mel Gibson was the one that recommended that Disney hire his brother for the role of John Smith
She was between 10 and 12 years old when she met John Smith, but I think she was between 16 and 18 years old when she met Rolfe.
I can't believe this movie exists :s
In the original, Pocahontas was actually kidnapped by the settlers and was forced to marry a racist bastard by King James I. Man, I am so glad Cromwell overthrew your son, James.
I personally do have a soft spot for the first film. It's not one of my favorites but it does have it's moments. Honestly out of the 57 current Disney animated studio films the only ones I do hate are Home on the Range and especially Chicken Little. Although I have yet to see Ralph Breaks the Internet so yeah.
On a side note for a Disney sequel for you to review, it would be neat to hear your thoughts on Hunchback 2 or Fox and the Hound 2.
As someone who has seen "Ralph Breaks The Internet", I can tell you it was a HUGE middle finger to the first film.
CKprimeval07...I kinda have a soft spot for this film also, but that's only bc the first film is probably my all-time favorite Disney next to only Mulan (Ralph Breaks the internet was probably worse than both Chicken Little & Home on the range...It's a shame bc the first Wreck-it Ralph movie was awesome, but also keep in mind this is coming from someone who just said the 1995 Pocahontas film is his all-time favorite Disney movie...So take that as you may ;-) lol
@@supermariof0521 ...I sadly, second that comment!
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 Here here.
The problem I have is the historical accuracy thing. Disney's version of this story is based on a tall tale from John Smith. It's going to have inaccuracies. Every Disney movie does. In The Princess and the Frog, for instance. Voodoo is a real world religion with varied and complex beliefs. It is not just good and evil magic where a gumbo pot replaces a witch's cauldron. Then there's Aladdin. Question: what is the Taj Mahal doing in Baghdad? Also, I doubt you would lose your hand for stealing food. But Pocahontas was a real person. Yes, and so was Davy Crockett. How factual was that portrayal? Cool Runnings is about a real Olympic team. Disney decided their coach was banned from the Olympics for cheating and stripped of his medals. That didn't happen.
7:03 I heard "Cuzco, Cuzco"
Wabuu: This sequel is so stupid! It doesn't have any drunk raccoons or blood thirsty bushes! Heh heh heh!
Omg, that just hit me just now...is that a Phelan Porteous reference?
5:47
Why is the hummingbird still there in the middle of winter? He should have migrated. There is nothing for him to eat and considering that Hummingbirds need to eat their own weight in nectar every day or they starve, Flick is about to die.
I actually have a very simple answer, it appears that you put more thought into this movie then Disney did ;-) haha, but I assume maybe the writers didn't want to leave flick out of the movie & just say screw it
Nostalgia critic said the same thing: the middle. Great review.
I'm probably the only one that will admit this but dammit @ 9:22...That scene still always gets me :'(
Honestly, this one is a guilty pleasure. I LOVE the first movie, and I know this movie is a downgrade compared to it. But, as you said, there are some genuinely good moments. The scene with Pocahontas and Nakoma chokes me up a bit, I enjoy the song Where Do I Go From Here, and the scene with Pocahontas defending the bear is pretty powerful. But, there are moments that make me cringe, and I hate the ending. I know they wanted to be historically accurate, but I was way more invested in her relationship with John Smith.
As for my suggestion for a Disney sequel/midquel/prequel to review, I suggest Bambi 2. If you're looking for a movie with genuine moments that doesn't suck so bad, I suggest checking it out. It continues from when Bambi just lost his mother, so they dive into how he feels about that, and how his relationship with his father is. I feel like it's one of the better Disney sequel/midquel/prequels.
Agreed, I hate the ending even though it's historically accurate. why did they do that but not some other details in the movie
Same! Imo it really sucks how much hate Pocahontas gets nowadays. I completely understand why and how huge of a mistake Disney made by making the story of Matoaka a romance story instead of her real life friendship with John Smith, who was like 20 years older than her. But I really wish more people wouldn’t be so hard on this film, especially when other movies like Hercules or Aladdin are very inaccurate to their original stories
@Berrypie11...You mean the bear bating part? lol...Codedlockfilms pointed out this out w/ his review... whatever they were doing w/ the poor bear wasn't even bear bating, I still don't even know or understand what the flipping f**k what was going on...but it was nice that Pocahontas defended the bear the way she did...& that scene w/ Pocahontas & Nakoma right before Poca leaves...Is a very powerful scene, but it's really hard to watch bc it tugs at the heart stings
@@kristinahuchison2511 if it’s any bright spot for you,Pocahontas and some of the characters were featured in “Once Upon a Studio” and Pocahontas was also prominently featured in “Ralph Breaks the internet”. So I would say Disney markets her and respects her as a Disney Princess a lot
@@Esgles ...Pocahontas was in Ralph breaks the Internet?!...holy s**t that's crazy, I literally had to research that for myself just to see for myself...I totally would have watched that movie if I knew Pocahontas was really in that movie ...I never knew about either of these facts!!!, I'm so pissed I missed out of both titles when they came out! dammit
Unlike most I'd go to the land of natives to study and learn about, then record it in a journal. I dont want their land I want to learn about them
As a kid, I actually liked Journey To A New World better than the original. After seeing Pocahontas in Ralph Breaks the Internet, I think she looks better in 3D.
You didn't bother showing the sword fight & the part where John Smith gives Ratcliffe his sword back as Ratcliffe pulls a gun on John Smith (That was the best part & you didn't show it man! lol)
It is trash basically
Aside from how historically inaccurate this movie is.. I distinctly remember enjoying this sequel a lot as a kid
Love your reviews man. BTW, Judy Khun is her singing voice, and Irene Bedard is her speaking voice.
lol he is giving the movie the roast hand
tf is wrong w grandmother willows animation
A much lower budget did that sadly
5:09
Your Chewbacca jokes are funny as hell 😂😂
I'm fascinated by the fact that RaisorBlade not just liked the music better in this film but liked this movie better than the first one altogether...I legit think that he's the first person that I've come across that feels that way...
Nostalgia critic shares his sentiments. Watch Pocahontas 2 Disneycember.
Same. I never found the first one boring or a slog to get through. If anything, I absolutely admire Pocahontas’s courage when she saves John’s life in the battle. Personally Rolfe always struck me as an a**hole who only really started to respect Pocahontas when she was dressed as a lady and behaving like one. He doesn’t actually take the time to get to know her better like Smith did. Rolfe literally spends the entire movie trying to get Pocahontas to be someone else. Dunno what crack this dude was on to be saying the sequel is a little better, and has the f*cking nerve to say Rolfe is a better fit for Pocahontas (news flash, he’s not)
@@kristinahuchison2511...Wow, I forgot I even made comment, yeah, it's weird, Rolfe was & is a massively generic copy & paste *Disney good guy* didn't do much to push the plot forward & was very forced...yuck ;-) haha
I think that most ppl dislike the first film bc it wasn't historically accurate & seem to like that sequel better for that reason...The first Pocahontas will always have a special place in my heart...it was a great film, not perfect, but a masterpiece compared to the garbage that Disney is making the last 6+ years (Nice to talk to you my friend, God speed to you :)
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 actually Pocahontas 2 remains to be one of the most hated sequels, despite it has grown a very small following. It’s actually pretty hard for me to find someone who likes Rolfe better as a love interest for Pocahontas. John Smith was always my favorite Disney Prince alongside Aladdin, but it’s really sad how much hate his character specifically gets nowadays. And its ALWAYS “John Smith was a terrible man in reality who was not a good person towards Pocahontas or her people” like 99% of his hate and the movie’s is history related and how tragic Pocahontas’s real life actually was. Even I’ll agree I don’t what the hell Disney was thinking trying to make Poca and John a couple, or at the very least not realizing how this would eventually come to seriously bite them in the butt later. Pocahontas as a movie holds a very special place in my heart ever since I was a kid, and it pains me so much to see how many people have gradually started to hate it and straight up scorn it for being basically a middle finger to Native American culture. I mean, Esmerelda and Jasmine aren’t exactly great representatives for Romani or Arabian culture either.
I definitely agree the movie isn’t perfect and isn’t even my favorite Disney movie, but it’s actually my third. I always found myself falling in love with how Pocahontas and John Smith did. They had actual growth and more maturity than most couples do, and I admire their undying love for each other, perfectly shown in the deleted song If I Never Knew You. It perfectly portrays how much John has matured as a person because of his love for Pocahontas and would be so empty and sad if he never met her. I really believe if the song stayed in the original version, more people would be more forgiving of the historical details and just enjoy it as a fictional movie. I seriously don’t get why John Smith gets so much hate nowadays, specifically being called an arrogant jerk who calls her people savages and would’ve shot her if she wasn’t beautiful, but proceed to forget how much this dude changes and clearly does deeply regret how he viewed people like her before meeting her and learning an important lesson about being more accepting of another’s beliefs and views. But seeing the other deleted scenes and stuff, Pocahontas had so much potential to be something waay stronger than what we got. I know a lot of people don’t really care for it mainly because it’s “too boring/serious” and while I get that, I found it ironic Hunchback had much darker themes and somehow managed to be funnier (not counting the gargoyles) I always kinda wished they made Pocahontas and John more humorous when it came to their relationship instead of using it on Esmerelda and Phoebus. Poca and John are both more laidback people who enjoy teasing others and learning new things, and I can definitely see them having a lot of fun together. It would definitely show how they manage to make each other laugh and relax in the midst of the threat of war.
But anyways, if Disney had been smart the first time around and not based it on a real person and just changed their names, Pocahontas could’ve easily been a huge hit and regarded as a masterpiece like all the other Renaissance movies. It’s just sad seeing how poorly this movie has aged for a lot of people and tanked to the levels of actual abysmal movies like Chicken Little or Home on the Range. Nearly every ranking of the Renaissance I’ve seen ALWAYS has Pocahontas towards the bottom or dead last. And while it definitely is not a surprise and something I’ve just come to accept, its just really discouraging and frustrating to see how one of my favorite Disney movies isn’t even close to the levels of Beauty and The Beast (one I personally find very flawed in so many ways) Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and especially Lion King. It honestly irritates me how Aladdin is still praised in high regard when it’s pretty racist with Middle Eastern culture, and for whatever reason people don’t have a problem with Aladdin lying the whole movie just to win Jasmine’s love. I definitely love them as a couple, but I personally wouldn’t be able to date someone who lied about everything just to impress me.
Sorry that was long lol. I just wish one day more people will come to appreciate Pocahontas for what its trying to teach instead of constantly being scorned and hated for what it isn’t. I understand representation is important to how kids will view other kids from different backgrounds, and unfortunately Indigenous culture is one of the most ignored. But even Brother Bear wasn’t exactly accurate when it came to Inuit culture or the bear myth, which was actually an Iroquois legend
@@kristinahuchison2511...I love your passion, there's so many great points to agree w/ here I don't even know where to begin, the deleted scenes certainly shot Disney in the foot w/ Potc--& Aladdin lying, I know!! & he does it again in the sequel too lol ...What do you think of all of the Disney remakes?
Even Cooler is more pissed at this movie than he is Frieza's defeat
Review 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure
Raisor gave the movie the Dr Phil knife hands twice
Also the outfit in this film as it set in the 1600s look f*cking awful as Hell that is not they really look like in the real times.
That sequel is bad
It is a fucking, ungodly abomination straight from the deepest anus of Hell
I totally agreed
Naw, Cinderella 2, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas & Belle's magical world were way worse then this one, not saying much there of course
What did you think your fan base would WANT you to review good sequels?
I've been trying to find that instrumental that played in the background when John Rolfe and Pocahontas made eye contact. So far, i haven't found it yet.
Which part of movie, maybe I can help you
I’m just gonna say this right now. This is my absolute favourite Disney DTV sequel so thanks for giving it a fair review. I’d watch it over the original Pocahontas any day. And I like Disney John Rolfe being a more classy person than John Smith. When I saw him fighting the guards with a sword and slowly disarming them I was like this man has style and as you said the romance here seemed more believable because you actually see Rolfe and Pocahontas doing stuff as opposed to Smith and Poca sitting around in the first movie.
He doesn’t actually take the time to get to know her better like Smith did. Rolfe literally spends the entire movie trying to get Pocahontas to be someone else...only then does he start to take notice of her though, that's only one of the grupes I have about the film
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 that’s true and also false. Rolfe had to do that because if not the idiotic King James would have immediately assumed she wasn’t “civilised”. And Rolfe started falling in love with Poca on the boat to London. After James threw Poca in jail and there was nothing to prove to the King anymore, Rolfe left her be as she is
@@Esgles ...Wait, wait, wait, When King James threw Pocahontas in jail? (It's been long time since I saw the film, so forgive the question...when did that happen?, I don't seem to remember that part...
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 Pocahontas showed up to the ball and wins the King over(Rolfe’s and Pocahontas goal so that the King would not go to war with Pocahontas’ tribe. Ratcliffe lied to the King and told him that there was gold and the tribe was hiding it). But to ensure his plans succeed, Ratcliffe brought in a bear to torture during the ball and Pocahontas of course stood up for the bear and called the King a savage. The King throws Poca in Jail and gives Ratcliffe permission to set sail to attack Poca’s tribe. Rolfe and Smith save Poca and Poca now having nothing to prove to the King, washes the powder from her face, gets out of her ball gown and goes back to wearing her usual outfit, which both Rolfe and Smith approve of.
@@Esgles ...Hey man, for some reason YT isn't notifying me of your responses, sorry about the late reply, Yes I remember that now, I think my subconscious might have blocked that part of due to the bear bating ...thing, definitely uncomfortable to watch, it was for me anyways...Also God, I just noticed your profile pic...Good old Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face haha *If the Bat wants to play, We'll play!!!*
I'm happy THERE won't be MAKEING number 3. the real life story of Pocahontas she died with sickness age 21
Just outta curiosity, what home media release of this movie were you using to get footage? The 2000 Gold Classic Collection DVD, or the 2012 Blu Ray?
I'm not sure exactly. I just downloaded this movie from kisscartoon
@@raisorblade Ah okay. Just curious.
@@raisorblade Also one plus to all this is we can be thankful for the Disney Straight to DVD sequels that were in the works, but thankfully canceled, such as "The Aristocats 2", "Home On The Range 2", "Chicken Little 2" and "Dumbo 2" (despite that last one actually having a behind the scenes trailer).
@@raisorblade looks like the Gold Classic. Yes I own both the Gold Classic and blu ray. This movie is my favourite direct to video sequel and I watch this way more than the original. The relationship does feel more believable
@@supermariof0521 I wish meet the Robinsons 2 was made
WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE
Pokahauntes is the best direct to DVD sequel of all time
Personally, I love this movie. Lol. And I gotta say, I'm sorry, but you're fucking adorable. You are very much a close look a like to my partner who passed away. Sorry lol couldn't help myself.
I remember liking Cocomum in this movie and Miss Kenkins
It's spelled Kocoum.
Kocuom literally is killed in the first movie when he saw Pocahontas and John kissing. The new guy’s name is Utti
6:36 - Quake Super shotgun sound? Sort of?
I dont like either but Pocahontas 2 has the better ending with a fantastic climax
This movie could have killed me, I legit had life threatening surgery and while recovering this was a film in the hospital video room and I never seen it since, this destroyed the originals message in more ways then one.
Also there's a lot of johns in these movies
He said it was as bad as Belle's magical world you scammed me you scammed me
the words *Belle's magical world are not to be mentioned* ...we pretend like that film doesn't exist, your brain cells will thank you ;-)
At least it's more kid-friendly than the original which had a traumatizing death scene.
Dude, Lion King, Hunchback, Fox and the Hound, Tarzan and several other Disney movies had characters getting killed on screen. Pocahontas definitely isn’t the only one with a character dying on screen
@@kristinahuchison2511 ...Exactly, I guess somebody here didn't do much research on Disney film deaths before they posted they're comment...but more importantly, how it is nobody else pointed this out? haha
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 IKR? If anything, one of the most underrated Disney deaths is from the Hunchback of Notre Dame in the intro. A Romani mother runs for her life with her baby clenched in her arms, and she begs the cathedral to give her sanctuary, only for Frollo to catch up, rip her baby from her arms and KICKS her on the stairs, instantly killing her. Then Frollo, horrified of poor Quasi’s deformities, goes to a well and gets dangerously close to drowning the baby. It’s only when the archdeacon realizes what has happened and chastises him for his cruelty that Frollo is basically scared into raising the baby as his own to atone for his sins. I know Quasi’s parents only appeared for like two minutes and didn’t have any unique role aside being Quasi’s parents, but Frollo does lie about his mother hating her son and abandoning him at the church. Its only when Frollo has lost all sanity and is determined to kill both Quasi and Esmerelda he finally reveals he completely lied about his mother and she died protecting him from him. Its honestly so shocking and sad to see something that dark straight off the bat in a Disney movie.
@@kristinahuchison2511 ...Yeah, I know, that was awful when I saw all of that happening in the beginning of the film ...Frollo was a really dark villain.
Tony Jay did a great job voicing Frollo & made me hate Frollo's guts as a kid too haha
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 that’s exactly what I mean lol. Lately the Hunchback of Notre Dame has grown considerably in popularity lately, and I’ve seen a lot of RUclipsrs rank it on the same levels as its predecessors aside Pocahontas. And it’s largely because of the maturity in the movie you appreciate more as an adult. But whenever people complain about Pocahontas being a terrible movie because its based on a very terrible story, I think a lot of people don’t realize how dark the novel of Notre Dame is. I’m pretty sure some of it is based on real life events too, considering its sister Les Miserables consists of real life accounts in the filler areas. I really enjoy the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but a lot of the characters are actually bad guys, like Phoebus, Clopin and even Quasi isn’t this kind hearted “monster” he’s actually kinda a grump in the book
The Little Mermaid 2 or Cinderella 3.
Oh, try reviewing Lion King 2 or Lion King 2 1/2 =3
God this movie's stupid it's nothing more than a drama movie that you could exist and this is the worst Disney direct to video sequel ever and it's even worse than The Little mermaid 2
Wow. You only have 52 likes...
Just remember they can’t be that historically accurate 😅 and it is a. ADAPTION 😅 that’s what every Disney movie
Ah it was their break come on
I never watched Pocahontas as a kid, I watched it two years ago, I found it boring
I hate... ALL OF THIS!
I hate Pocahontas!
I hate the sequel!
*I hate Disney!*
Hi Raisorblade, if you want some good shit to review just look into mondo world RUclips channel, they have a tons of cheap Disney rip-off, perfect material for you.
I know bro Pocahontas 2 sucks I like the first one way better. number two John Smith alive Pocahontas will be with him. But now is not, it feel like nah i be the other guy who had the same name John sorry John smith im breaking up. with you, true love is ruined is she want to be with him with the another John. you should keep John Smith dead the movie. story is boring the final battle sucks so yeah number one is better.
I would to say that yes affirmative. If you know history like Me you can all agree with me that yes for historical films like these you really shouldn't make any of nosecones Sh*t up because making crap like this inaccurate is disrespectful in any in like COD Vanguard Pocahontas 2 is good example of complete utter butchered historically inarticulately nonsense piece of shit .
Ok, I mean almost every Disney movie is supremely inaccurate to the original story. The Little Mermaid dies in her story, Hunchback is straight up dark with everyone dying in the end, Hercules is straight up not for kids, and there’s a lot of others. Pocahontas is NOT the first inaccurate movie. Even Anastasia is pretty darn inaccurate to the actual story of Anastasia, and her movie doesn’t get nearly as much criticism or hate
Parker...Jesse from Codedlockfilms certainly said it best when this topic comes up...Disney shouldn't be chastised for making movies that aren't faithful to the source material...as it should be the job of parents & teachers to educate kids in real life events & if we're allowing kids to get they're facts from Disney movies, that's the fault of the parents/guardian more than Disney or the movie itself (Just my two cents here)
@@kristinahuchison2511 Again, you bring up even more great points that I forgot about Kristina... Hunchback while it was a good film, it was seriously dark in tone too & Hercules was great, even as a kid when it came out I thought to myself, man, I don't think I should be watching this
