Pocahontas - AniMat's Classic Reviews

Can you criticize with all the colors of the wind?

My, that's the shortest gap between a classic review I've seen thus far!

Anthony Estrada

For my next review request, i didn't request him a film that would necessarily make worst animated movie lists like my last two movies I requested. Instead, I aimed at a more personal level. I did this by selecting a company that is animat's biggest enemy and I chose a direct to dvd film from that company (as that film isn't on his regular animats review schedule). He talks on and on about that film on his animation podcast every time a news piece comes out like announcement and trailer. Didn't seem right for him to only talk about how bad the idea sounds and not actually watch it. And Yes, that sequel does suck with little continuity between that and the first movie.

Wait. Is Surfs up 2 already out?

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Wow I actually disagree quite a bit. 8 out of 10 is being generous I would go 5 or 6 and I tried to like the movie. I didn't feel any chemistry and Mel Gibson was maybe miscasted, let's just say. I met Irene Bedard and bless her soul she's a really kind lady, but she vocal performance does nothing for me. If anything Judy Kuhn is FAR more memorable. It also had the predictable problem, I know its a Disney film so it can't be that unpredictable, but it just sort of goes through the motions. And Ratcliff I found kind of dull, I love David Ogden Stiers voice, but the character is just greedy which I don't interesting. Songs and animation are amazing, hell I was looping Colors of the Wind while waiting and its just great. I don't know, I wanted to like it really I do, and it has great aspects, Alan Menken's score is wonderful, but it just doesn't work. Oh and I can already tell its Surfs Up 2, call me crazy but there aren't many recent SPA films, good freaking luck.

Why do you keep requesting him to review such terrible animated films? The animated titanic, Foodfight, and now Surfs Up 2? Have you ever requested a good film from him?

Side note, I noticed you didn't address the historical aspect. Now granted I myself am not bothered by it, even as a history major. But there are somethings that strike be as bizarre, they get small details like the Arquebus rifle being used by the Jamestown colonists, something I didn't even know. But then it gives them a Union Jack, a flag design from 1801, 300 years in the future, Which is like having a 50 star American flag in a tale about the Civil War. Its odd... oh and I guess making John Ratcliff evil is probably unfair to the real man, who tried to make friends with the Indians and was horribly murdered as a direct result. That might be the only historical aspect I have trouble. Just a footnote.

Personally, I disagree with the rating. I prefer 6 or 7/10.

Finally got around to watching this review. I couldn't right when it came out because I was at a special event that day, I won't say what it was, but let's just say it was for a movie that comes out sometime this month that people have either been excited for or have dreaded since it's announcement. But anyways, I am surprised that Pocahontas got an 8 out of 10. I was expecting either a 6 or 7 even, but that's just my personal opinion. And REALLY Chris Etrata?! REALLY?! First you had Animat review Legend of the Titanic, and Food Fight, and now you have him review Surf's Up 2?! Oh God Why?! It's already bad enough that Animat had to review Cloudy 2 and Transylvania 2, AND not to mention he has to put up with the Emoji movie this summer, but why are you continually torture with all these terrible movies?!!! 😫
