WWTD 215 - Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World: A Huge Whiff

In this modern era of countless sequels, reboots and remakes, the question that often arises is "are any of these movies necessary?" It's a question our hosts feel qualified to answer now that our Summer of Sequels has drawn to a close. Our answer? Nah, probably not. And Disney's direct-to-video POCAHONTAS II: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD is exhibit A. The original Pocahontas is a pretty dull movie Disney had no right to make that somewhat justified its existence thanks to some truly stellar animation. The sequel double down on all that, but cuts the animation quality by at least two-thirds. If the best thing that can be said about your movie is that it no longer features Mel Gibson's voice, but still features his younger brother, you know you're in deep trouble.
