"What I love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twice. The water's always changing, always flowing. But people I guess can't live like that, we all must pay a price. To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing what's around the riverbend." What really stands out in Pocahontas, to me, is the music. Not so much fancy special effects and stuff, but the songs are beautiful. The lyrics and the music just flow. The colors are vibrant and rich, truly a great film. I know every word to every song. All my friends do, and we range from 15 to 24. Maybe we're just sad... oh well! "Is all my dreaming at an end? Or do you still wait for me, dreamgiver, just… Read more
This is a great movie for kids, I loved it when I was little. I still think it's great. What I don't understand is this whole racist thing.

My aunt is full-blooded Cherokee Indian and she loves this movie. I guess I just don't think about things the way many others do. I don't want to get into a discussion of all this p.c. propoganda. All I'm saying is, this movie is definitely a classic, and should be a part of any kid's life.
Come on people. Get over your fears that your child will be permanently scarred and/or a juvenile delinquent just becuase they watch something that isn't totally sugar-coated, and then show them a great movie like this. I'll admit, this is undoubtedly one of the saddest movies in my memory, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a classic and should be a part of every kid's life. Disney movies are such a huge part of my life, I don't know what I'd be like if I was banned from watching them. Whatever, it's your decision and everything, but all this censorship is only going to make things go more down the toilet than they already have.
