Summary: A great clean movie.
Comment: A great, entertaing movie. Pay not attention to these "history buff" people. Not everything has to be historically accurate. Just enjoy the movie - that is why they are made.

Summary: Soaring Hawk
Comment: This is a very entertaining Disney movie. Unfortunatly Disney feels the need to slap a true life title on some movies to associate them with real people and so I only gave it three stars when it should have been four or five. Just like they did with the Pocohontas movie. Both are mostly fiction and have nothing to do with the real stories. Squanto just like Pocohontas was real, this movie's only likeness to Squanto's true life is being befriended by monks (not Spanish though as they should have been), and finding his village wiped out from disease after years of being away. The rest is mostly fiction made up by writers hailing from the old Westerns where Native Americans and Europeans fought all the time. I guess they thought that would be more exciting. Personally I say Disney, either tell the true story or call it another name. Call this Soaring Hawk or some other name, just not Squanto and then it becomes acceptable to all. Then it is just a fictional story, since it mostly is any way. On that level it is in fact an entertaining movie. Good DVD with good replayability if you can get past this not being the true story of Squanto.

Summary: SQUANTO - by Disney
Comment: I love watching Adam Beach and Eric Schweig do their acting stuff and they did it well considering this was a definite DISNEY flick in every way. I enjoyed the story even though it was a squeeky clean movie , but you have to expect that from Disney , especially back in the 90's.
I think it's a good kid's flick and I even bought it for my Adam & Eric
library of VHS and DVD's. Yea, it might not be exactly historically correct , but the guys did an all around good job. And they ain't too bad to look at either!!! JK A & E ... no really...you guys are HOT!!! and still lookin' good today in 2007!!!!

Summary: A Heartfelt Performance
Comment: This film is based on historical events and this where the inspiration for the tale originates. SQUANTO: A WARRIOR'S TALE is the stuff legends are made of. This is also a Disney film and aimed at family audiences. It contains all the elements to tell a fulfilling story and inspire one to seek out more concerning the actual events that it is based. The film's strength is in Adam Beach's performance. Adam Beach is Squanto. He gives a heartfelt sincere performance projecting all the virtuous qualities of his heritage. Beach projects a sense of nobility in the face of his adversaries that the viewer can admire and take inspiration.
