I am quiet partial to the first Pocahontas, I remember going in High School with a group of friends, there must of been 14 of us girls huddled in the theatre to see this movie.  I love that this movie brings back such great memories!  I honestly don't recall Pocahontas II until I watched it this week, it just as good as good as the first.  I love the sequels to our favorite movies, it gives us more insight into our favorite characters  Pocahontas is a free spirited girl and I can see some of her spirit in my own little girl.  The movies portray love, courage, and hope, something as a parent that I want my little girl to have!
