Pocahontas 2 Journey To A New World is the best


Pocahontas 2 Journey To A New World is one of my favorite movies and one that I watch almost every day and every time I watch it it makes me like it even more. I especially love the scene when John Rolfe arrives on the ship and presents Pocahontas with her very own horse and since I love horses so much it was surprising to see that Pocahontas had turned herself into a horse crazy girl. I also like when Pocahontas and Grandmother Willow talk to each other and Grandmother Willow tells her to "listen to the spirit within" and I always like to act out that scene whenever it's shown. But when Pocahontas gets to London I can tell that she's really excited about visiting a new city and she is ready for anything. And John Rolfe is such a great crush and friend to Pocahontas and really stood up for her when trouble followed her. And Mrs. Jenkins is a wonderful character and really cheerful and upbeat and really cared a lot for Pocahontas and would always give good advice to her when Pocahontas was worried about things in her life. And it surprised me that Jean Stapleton from All In The Family provided Mrs. Jenkins's voice and Jean had a wonderful singing voice too when Mrs. Jenkins sings Wait Til He Sees You in the movie. Was there an actual Jenkins family in the real Pocahontas story too? Because when Pocahontas meets Mrs Jenkins for the first time John Rolfe mentioned that the Jenkins family had been employees of the Rolfes for many generations. But when Pocahontas saw the bear being tortured at The Hunt Ball I thought Pocahontas was very proud and stood up for herself but it was nothing to be thrown in the Tower Of London over. I mean she was only trying to save the bear from being tortured. And why didn't John Smith know about John Rolfe trying to become Pocahontas's new crush and when they got together and talked when Pocahontas ran away to the pond it seemed that John Rolfe and John Smith started bickering instead of chasing Pocahontas to keep her from running away. But in the end I was glad that John Smith and Pocahontas remained best friends and Pocahontas and John Rolfe stayed crushes. I think Pocahontas 2 is one of the best sequels ever made and Disney really hit a home run out of the ballpark with this movie. And the songs themselves are great including the wonderful Where Do I Go From Here which sounds like a song Susan Boyle would sing and the haunting Things Are Not What They Appear which is sung during the ball dinner and the beautiful end title track sung by Judy Kuhn and Billy Zane called Between Two Worlds which sounds like a song off of a Jim Brickman album and is a nice ballad. If you must see one movie Pocahontas 2 is the one to watch. And I must admit after watching this movie I became a fan of the real Pocahontas and began learning even more amazing stuff about her
