Pocahontas fares no better. A conventional Indian girl, she wants to befriend a very silly John Smith, but the nasty medicine man insists all outsiders are evil. The songs by Megan Cavallari and David Goldsmith barely qualify as doggerel: "Look out, strangers, for the Medicine Man / I'm on the warpath and I have a plan." In both films, the animation veers between painfully inept and unintentionally comic.
This DVD offers parents an effective new tool for curbing their kids' media intake: given the choice between watching it or no TV at all, most kids will opt for the latter. --Charles Solomon
