This doesn't age well - or maybe it wasn't go great the first time around. The quality of animation made me feel like it was a straight to video sequel rather than the original.
Good on Disney for having a go at Indian culture - the film is progressive, the lead is a woman of colour. But it's not very good - Pocahontas is more more a hot princess interested in a guy because she's out of town, and as a result sells out her people. She doesn't do anything cool like Mulan or Moana she just kind of hangs around and sings and moons over a guy.
It's not particularly well made or exciting - Mel Gibson's singing voice isn't great. The biggest problem for me was the visual look hasn't aged well.
I think this is best appreciated as a teen girl romance. Go in with low expectations you might be okay.
