| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Pocahontas |
|---|
Pocahontas is a high spirited Native American princess who falls in love with a British settler named John Smith, thus inciting hatred between her tribe and his shipmates. She manages to teach the two groups about tolerance and equality.
--Katie Malone, Resident Scholar

Everybody knows the story of how an Indian princess named Pocahontas meets an explorer named John Smith when he lands in what is the present-day Virginia and the two fall in love. That story is beautifully retold in one of the most recent Disney classics. The animation is top-notch, something Disney has always done well, and the film is beautifully scored throughout. At the end, you'll hear Vanessa Williams sing the trademark hit song Colors of the Wind.
