This came out in 1995. I probably first saw it on VHS sometime in the mid-to-late 90s (though it could have been the early 00s). Someday I'll get it on DVD and write a review, but for now this page is just waiting for that day. Meanwhile, there was also a direct-to-video sequel, which I haven't seen, and I'm not sure if I ever will. But there's a fair chance that when I get a DVD of the original movie, it will include the sequel as a double feature, so we'll see. Anyway... one thing I can say about the movie is that I always found it a bit problematic, because it conflicted with the real history I had learned in grade school. And long after I saw it, I learned to also have a problem with its use of cultural appropriation. Still... it had some nice songs. And I think that as long as one understands that it's not remotely an accurate representation of history (which is must more oppressive than anything you'll see in a Disney movie)... it can maybe still be enjoyed. (But if you do know the truth, you should feel guilty while enjoying it.)
