Review – Pocahontas

This story is obviously by its very nature problematic. However, at least it represents a step in the right direction for Disney, acknowledging the existence of awkward issues such as racism and the environment. Unfortunately, such serious themes lead the production far afield of the simple fun Disney specializes in. The animation is also sub par for the studio, looking Rotoscoped, over-simplified and cheap. And though this isn’t the movie’s fault, it’s hard to listen to Mel Gibson begin a conversation with a woman without silently praying that he’s sober. Mildly amusing
