Alan Boyle has an interesting story of the restoration of a lost Algonquin dialect. I don’t know whether or not the movie is any good in general, but I’m always impressed when a director works hard to get it right, even if few people would know the difference.

Recently I started watching this again with my 4yr old son and fell in love with it all over again! The music is outstanding (I especially love the “Colors of the Wind”) and the entire movie is a visual treat! I know many have complained that the movie is a European version of an event and demeaning to American Indians, but from what I’ve read, Russel Means (voice of Powhatan) was happy with the final product and its portrayal of Native Americans. Whether or not it is historically accurate, it is great entertainment and I believe the overall message of peace and acceptance between peoples is timeless good advice. All in all, a great addition to the Disney catalog of movies.
