Bear baiting was a real thing. They would take a bear, blind him, and then sic a bunch of dogs on him until the bear died or they ran out of dogs. They would bet on who would win. It was a really popular past time.

What's shocking is this movie is actually more historically accurate to her real story than the first movie was

[SergeKent]

Pocahontas on a European dress is actually historically accurate. And the romance with the new guy is the real one.

[bigcas]

bear baiting was totally a thing. And it was just as terrible as it sounds

[edwardjoel]

I was actually completely unaware that people didn't like the first Pocahantas

6:11 Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

I can't be the only one who obsessively refreshed the page until the video was up.

The problem some people had with the first movie is that historically, she did not have a love relationship with John Smith. Actually, she married John Rolfe and had one child, Thomas Rolfe. She died in her husbands arms at the age of 21 but the cause of her death is unknown. It could have been pneumonia, small pox, or poison given her symptoms. Man, Disney sequels are going to drive you nuts this month.

So wait... Pocahontas just, falls in love with the brown haired guy? Even though John is still alive?
...
... What????

The day he reviews Hunchack of Notre Dame II is the day I'll forever consider a national holiday.

Actually Doug, that REALLY was a popular event "back in the day".

[andrewwesterholm]

Just to let you know, the bear thing was a real thing back then. Shakespeare even references it in "Macbeth"

[aliceholloway]

Am I the only one who liked the original Pocahontas? I loved that movie!

[LucianoThePig]

M sister and I used to watch Pocahontas 1 all the time as kids, so I can't not love it.

Judy Kuhn's voice as Pocahontas barely ages, she's fantastic! For all you musical theatre fans out there, she was the in the original Broadway cast of Les Miserables as Cosette, and also the original Broadway cast of Chess (as Florence), Rags (as Bella), and Fun Home (as Helen Bechdel).

The animation doesn't look that bad but GOD, WOULD IT HURT THEM TO PUT THE TINIEST BIT OF SHADING ON THESE CHARACTERS?

[OwentheKingofDudes]

What's with the 40 seconds of nothing at the end?

[emifroy]

Next one is The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride that one is very good actually

[Dtoons]

I agree 100%. The best part of this movie is Pocahantas fun experience in England. That's the only reason I wanted to see the film.
The part before the bear torture is the perfect place to stop watching. The scene following it is when the animation takes a weird nosedive for a few shots and its weird.

[jewelsims]

I dislike it because they just threw Pocahontas's and John Smith's relationship away
