Pocahontas had one of the best soundtracks from Disney. Disney needs to bring back these 'Making of' specials instead of having to sit through a movie to catch a behind-the-scenes clip before a commercial.

Ppl forget just how much work went into the classics💗 It’s so inspiring how much thought and dedication, time, study, heart, was given and carved into things that didn’t even make the final film. This is only a small look into it all. It’s amazing how it all comes together. Pocahontas is a masterpiece and every second is mesmerisingly beautiful. All the artists are wonderful, each character was created so perfectly voice and all, the scenery and music are astonishingly divine... it’s UNDERRATED as it is BEAUTIFUL, definitely one of the best classics! But each one of them blows my mind with how it comes together like it does. Disney deserves the attention it gets💗

Alan Menken is THE MAN. He's got the music of little mermaid, aladdin, beauty and the beast, pocahontas, hunchback of notre dame and enchanted all under his belt. He is my idol!!!

Pocahontas' voice actress is beautiful. Her voice is soothing, I loved her outfit, and her hair is goals. Not only did she provide the voice but she looks like the drawn character. If they ever do live action - they should recast this woman.

I'm 17 and this has always been my absolute favorite movie of all time. I have had so many VHS tapes that it was ridiculous, I have broken 3 of my DVD cd's and now on my fourth. Totally worth it. Pocahontas has always been the best movie ever made by Disney! The fact that you can grow up and still be effected by the story being told is a big factor. Thank you Disney for playing her story for everyone :)

If I Never Knew You was my favorite song from the movie. Jon Secada and Shanice knocked that song out of the park.

I'd kill for this Era to be back again..

A Disney movie isn’t a Disney movie without Alan Menken

THAT SONG THE COLORS OF THE WIND ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING TO ME SUCH A POWERFUL SONG.

Every time I watch this movie it always effects me the exact same way, as if I were 10 again. It never gets old; that's when you know a movie is good. I just wish the second one wasn't so disappointing.

you can never have too much Alan Menkin music! i honestly believe he's probably one of the best composers of our time.

The character of Meeko is cute

Love the movie!! I can't believe artists like them got so devalued! They should have more recognition! 😉❤️🎥

Thank all for the Meaningful,Informative message conveyed through this Animated film for an hour.I love the song"The Colours of the Wind" apart from all songs.Strength lies in Unity"Cheers to all.Great team work 👍💪🎞️🎬📽️🎥🎼🎵🎶✏️🖌️🎨🎨💻⌨️🌦️😷🤩❤️🙏

big ups to adam...great soundtrack. makes me shed a tear. memories from my childhood. she was always my favorite princess

Such beautiful music in this film and whole lot of other wonderful things about it. This Disney film is so extraordinary and so much effort and hard work put into it.

ah, the 90's. good times.

Whenever I draw or paint a character for my own art, I feel that they are alive. I use different voices and create a personality for each character that I create. I may never get to do this as a living, but I will always enjoy this process. It entertains me and my cats.

Me too! Those lyrics always struck me the strongest, even as a child. Stephen Schwartz, BRAVO!

It’s *2024,* then to know that back in the 1990’s they used to draw all the movements of the characters actions page by page just makes that Disney Era more *’special & appreciated’* 🤍🙌! Miss those movies & love my Pocahontas more.

I love hearing the score without the voice. The orchestra is so beautiful and iconic.

Steven Schwarts is the greatest lyricist of all time. I can never stop saying that, he has so much talent in accessing the minds of the characters and expressing them in music. L.O.V.E. IT!!!!

Meeko and Flit are the best side kicks characters ever! =)

Gosh, these men are so incredibly talented. I can't believe Disney fired them all :(

the woman who played pocahontas looks soooo beautiful and i'm a straight girl but she really is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen

my favorite lyrics are "how high does a sycamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll never know"

disney needs to make a live action movie of this like they’re doing with their other older films

in Polish version of Pocahontas sings Edyta Górniak, I love her voice and songs in this movie ^^

@kijiji93 Not to mention all the new stuff he wrote for the Broadway shows, and his non-disney work, like Little Shop of Horrors and Newsies. I agree with you totally, he is THE MAN.

Mr. Ruben Aquino is a fellow Pinoy right?! Mabuhay Ka Sir! We are proud of You.. Been loving this film though since my childhood years. Too bad Mr Smith and Pocahontas were not meant to be together in real life..

the original version of "If I Never Knew You" is so much better. It feels so much deeper and emotional

alan menken you are amazing.

This has me rethinking my college major...

wow i've been looking in the mirror too to figure out how to draw characters. awesome. i could be as good as these guys some day XD

i wanna be an animator and voice actor and composer for animation cause animated movies just inspire me i love them soo much!

You're welcome. I'm planning to go into animation too and nothing beats learning from the best.

Best movie of all time i have a drawing of it and i have the movie 5 times on VHS 2 time on DVD (Even when i throw away one because it didn't work anymore :( ) and once on Blu-ray I have a love for it ^^

Hello childhood!

Bobcat that grinned? Ha! sounds like a reference of the Cheisure Cat from “Alice in Wonderland”.😄

all you need is a team of passionate awesome talented people! :)

They have to find the voices first, then after the voices, the write the music. They usually record the music and voices at around the same time. The animation is last because it has to correspond with the sounds

great now I don't have to see the dvd version of this thing even though I already saw it! YAY :D

@tongeli u cant do all at the same time, usually, its the music and Voice are done first, then they work on the animation and sork on the way the characters speak at the same time when theyre singing with the same rhythm

one of my dreams is to do the voice for an animated charactre in a disney movie!!!

pocahantos has the best songs

"You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth until...you can paint with all the Colors of the Wind."

@KaylaBelleable YES YES even as a small child those lyrics resonated with me. One day I'm going to watch this with my children and I hope this song touches them.

RIP Alan Menkin

"If I Never Knew You" by Mel Gibson and Judy Kuhn, in my opinion, is even better than the song they had the two music artists do! It was just so heart-wrenching and just pulled at my heart strings... but I am happy they left it out of the film, because it just would have messed with the tent scene. Why didn't they mention it in the video?

you mean the ones who did the hand drawing? I think I read in wikipedia that disney re-hired them (I'm not sure if all of them or just some) so that they would keep that 'classic hand-drawn feeling' in the new movies, as well.

cool

Pocahontas voice actress is fine

i wish i knew pocahontas

just listen Edyta Górniak - Kolorowy świat x)

4:25-4:45 beautiful 😍

:') Thank you so much for posting!!! This brings such joy to me!! But waiwaiwait. I wanted to see Thomas record!!

They don't make disney movies like they used to

Oh my gosh Alan Menken! Is a beast

Wow. I wish I could be a disney animator. Can you say dream job? Sadly it wasn't in the cards for me (though I still love doing my own sketches and drawings). Thanks for putting this up!

@KeladrysLove dude howard ashmans the one who died not alan menken

@tongeli Music and voice are usually done first then animation. More voice work may occur once the animation is finished if re-dubbing is needed.

only complaint...they should have mentioned Thomas...

I agree :)

ALAN MENKEN I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u know i originaly wanted to make my adaption of kingdomhearts a 2d animated feature but after seeing how hard it is to do that im going for 3d

So was Mel Gibson John Smiths singing voice? Cause they mentioned Pocahontas singing voice but not his?

mabey ill use that song if i never knew you for my adaption of kingdomhearts but ill use it for the 3rd film in the series

I also feel such a connection to Native Americans, history makes me deeply sad💔💔💔

As a Lakota Sioux and apachic woman , thay have really taken language from us, that we don't konw anymore, only the old ones really konw new it , are children headly rilly don't konw it , and so sad

All of the same people should have worked on Pocahontas 2. It would have been a better film. Also the film should have been more honest especially when Kocum and John Smith were shot. There was no sign that they were shot as though it was invisible. It came off as fake. You have to tell the truth to the children.

@nave712 keep us informed!!! that sounds like a fun project

Dave is the real life flanders

@KeladrysLove he's not dead. don't even dare write something horrible like that.

@mai450 good luck with ur training in animation are u training to be a hand drawn animator or a cgi animator

lol at 0:36

in what order do they do these movies? i mean like 1. animation 2. music 3. voice OR all at the same time? ? i'm just curious

@JoeyandJosh thanks dude

@nave712 i know i got corrected I APOLOGIZE FOR BLASPHEMING HIS AMAZING NAME

While I do admire the passion that is behind every Disney movie. Pocahontas isn't my favorite film. I think this movie has the same problem that Sleeping Beauty had. Too many endearing sidekicks, so it's hard to focus on the main characters.

When did this movie come out?

*sigh* I would go into animation without a second thought if only it still existed the way it did in the 90's and before. Truly that was the prime Disney era. when every action and movement of the characters was done by hand. How awesome would that be if someone asked you what you do for a living, to say "oh nothing big. I just drew and animated Pocahontas" 0_0 ..wut?

Nowhere in the clip were Vanessa Williams was mentioned, she also sang "Colors of the Wind"!

@SP3489 drawings not really in the cards for me either i pretty much suck at drawing i wanna make a computer animated film adaption of kingdom hearts but i found out after watching this documentry that u also have to draw a character for a cgi film then u create the computer animated model even though directors of animated films have people who draw for them the director still has to be good at drawing i cant wait to get out of highschool go to film school and get all this pressure off my back

Is it just me or does the statue and the end give you the creeps?

Thumbs up if this movie inspired you to be a strong woman, especially if you are part of a minority group!!

maybe it's just me but the animation for pocahontas feels a bit sloppy; some of the backgrounds are just plain colour and there isn't a tremendous amount of detail to the characters. i guess they might have been searching for a particular style but for me watching this "making of" in comparison with pinnochio, snow white and sleeping beauty displays a significant drop off in terms of detail, care and heart involved in making the product. i like colours of the wind but apart from that this is a film for people who like to suck dick
