Pocahontas

Doc's Ranking 19/51
Karo's Ranking 29/49

The first part of this movie plays out like a bad ripoff of 'The Little Mermaid' (girl likes guy from other world, daddy doesn't like that idea, tells her to stay away, she doesn't listen). Only, this time around, all the characters are boring and lame, simply one of the worst collection of main characters ever made by Disney. The shortcomings are especially pronounced when compared with the characters of the other Renaissance movies.
In addition, this movie is obsessed with political correctness to an absurd level, and it drags down the movie terribly (for example, all the europeans are a bunch of violent, greedy morons who only think of killing 'filthy savages' and tearing up the countryside in the search of non-existent gold).
It's a shame there is so much fail here, because there is some really great artistry in the backgrounds and animation, and the songs are awesome (especially colors of the wind).


Best Character: Meeko

Meeko's scenes were the only parts of the movie I enjoyed other then the songs. He's a great sidekick, and adds some much needed personality to a movie where most of the characters have just about none.


Worst Character: Governor Ratcliffe

A terrible, horrible villain. Ratcliffe is a one-dimensional idiot who, despite having an educated upbringing, thinks that there will be like 24-karat gold bars sticking out of the ground all over the New World. Hmm, good luck with that.
