| Wonderful musical from fictitious version of true story.
Though not entirely surpassing the Lion King this was some of the best music ever experienced in an animated musical. Pocahontas is the daughter of a chief who wishes to find her path in life. She feels it her duty to keep peace between her own people and the intruding British who are hoping to find gold as did the early Spanish explorers. She finds herself falling in love with one of these new visitors and uses this relationship in attempting to prevent a potential war. But can she stop the greedy settlers from their determination to find Gold, and can she convince her Father that they should try to live in peace with their new neighbors? You may be pleasantly surprised. Between the music and the animation Pocahontas is a classic Disney film that should be included in every video collection. Just don't expect to learn any hidden truths about American history. Take it for what it is.

Trivia

After Governor Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers) wounds Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson), Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) gives him some willow bark to "help with the pain". Native Americans actually chewed willow bark to relieve pain, because it's been proven to contain salicylic acid, which became the basis of aspirin.
