It's a good movie but it loses point with modern audience on account of (hopefully unintentionally) glorifying a colonizing child predator with iffy intentions. (Long story short, Pocahontas was very under age, she was taken from her home land and treated like a wild animal exhibit among other things. And that's only the very watered down version as I'm typing from memory. (Pocahontas 2 was (or looks to be) an attempt to smooth over inaccuracies but still didn't make things right)
It’s the inaccuracies. The film has a BEAUTIFUL message, but it would’ve been better received if they didn’t attach real life characters to it, especially those who lived very traumatic lives,
I went to Disney world about two years ago and was shocked they didn't have any Pocahontas dolls or anything because I wanted to buy one. They had all the other princesses. Some people said she isn't considered a princess. I thought that was bullshit. Regardless, she's one of the originals so she should have been on the shelf.
She's "technically" not considered a princess due to the fact that a princess, by definition, is the daughter of a king. A king is the ruler of a 'king-dom' and gains the position through inheritance. Pocahontas, however, is the daughter of a chief of a North American tribe. These chiefs usually do not inherit their authority; they are elected by the tribe. That's probably the reason for her not being considered a princess by some. HOWEVER, a "Disney Princess" seems to have a much different meaning to represent the "female heroines" of the movies...and for that reason, she should be inclusive of that definition, I think!
I never thought a piece of music could make me feel emotional. But you can just feel the sadness and the atmosphere with every single instrument. I 100% cry at this film every single time I watch it. So emotional. And I hate crying haha. Beautiful.
Me too, honey. It’s crazy. I first watched this movie when I was 4. I am now 15. I love this movie more than I did then. I know it sounds crazy, but I seriously watch this movie AT LEAST once every two weeks. It’s so beautiful. To be honest, the Pocahontas Soundtrack is just about the only soundtrack provided by Disney that holds so much emotion. You can feel what the characters feel and it’s beautiful.
Same here Stephanie. (I'm a man, and as a boy I put up big shields to distance myself from the emotions of life..especially Disney movies. I would make light of it or joke about it or ridicule it.) Last night I watched this movie again with my wife. I was getting so emotional. The songs really shot to my heart. The animation was also good. You might be interested in my t shirts. I make them for women, men, and children. @ teespring.com/stores/classical-high
0:53 gives me chills every time. And I absolutely love the melody when the grandmother starts singing. It sounds so spiritual and mysterious. 😍 this was never my favorite Disney movie growing up, but now that In older, I definitely understand why it's a classic. Chills.
In the second version of this song, Pocahontas was trying to fight what she has not yet understood but when she chose to listen and when she was beginning to understand she did not continue to fight it by letting it flow within herself and said her name out loud to John Smith. Flit had the look of hatred on his face while Miko had look of absolute amazement at the sight of their first contact.
Hardwa Demaldè D You're welcome. I'm sorry that you're in a dark place right now. If nothing else, keep listening to songs like this that bring you back that childhood joy for a while. I'm sure things will get better for you. (:
John Smith: (after noticing Grandmother Willow) "What was that?!" Pocahontas: "Did you see something?" John Smith: "No, no... I just that... I... I didn't see anything, did I?" Pocahontas: "Look again." (Grandmother Willow reappears as she sings a 3rd reprise of "Listen With Your Heart") Grandmother Willow: (singing) "Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand. (spoken) Hello, John Smith."
0:52 *Pocahontas bolts like a frightened deer* "No! Wait! Please." *Pocahontas runs through the forest and reaches her canoe, and John catches up to her just as she's about to row away* "Please! Don't run off. It's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. Here. Let me help you out of there." "Mataque natorath." "You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? It's alright."
This played in the scene where Pocahontas took John Smith's hand and their cultures fused through love and peace. So glad I found the soundtrack to it! I absolutely love it! It really makes up the powerful scene!
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. We were at Disney World the summer this movie came out and we watched a live stage production at the park before we saw the movie. Still looking to find a good book about the life of Pocahontas.
I will never forget the TV Spot for "Spirited Away" I saw with this piece of music. Easily one of the most powerful moments of music and visuals in perfect synchronization I've ever experienced in my life.
Oh my .. I love this song. "If I never knew you" beautiful soundtrack and gorgeous movie. I will always a special place in my heart for these Disney classics
You gotta love the violin part at 0:31. It has a soft, sad, and romantic feel to it. When I close my eyes, my eyes feel like I can shed a tear and my breath just flew away from my throat
It's part of a cut scene. There is actually a whole song there that was taken out. It was dubbed "too serious" for kids. It really is the most beautiful love duet in Disney history. The pop version is in the credits.
+Loly laura Uh, I think Bryan Luippold was referring to her ending up with John Rolfe in the sequel POCAHONTAS II: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD, which she, in fact, did in real life (so that's true to history), and she does as well in THE NEW WORLD, so I don't know how that's gonna fix anything for Bryan Luippold.
@@baileydavenport2651 The sequel doesn't exist to me. But in actuality Pocahontas was like 11 when she saved John Smith so the entire world Disney created is fictional. Weird that they decided to make a sequel based on the facts when they didn't follow them to begin with
I don’t care what the critics say. There is more tenderness and depth of feeling in the scene where John Smith and Pocahontas meet than in anything Pixar and Disney make today.
Pocahontas: "Then you should talk back." Grandmother Willow: (to John Smith) "Don't be frightened, young man. My bite is worse than my bark." Pocahontas: "Say something."
Nata cui, natu raught? or something along those lines x3 brings me back to those times when i tried to do intense meditation on this song plus the first version when i was small
the beginning is like your love is moving away from another home, and you don't want her to move out. until once, you ran away from your home, and have a long trip to find your true love.
I don't understand why more people don't like this movie. The soundtrack and message are beautiful.

this movie has some of the most beautiful soundtracks for Disney movies! :)
it's truth
I feel like I'm eight years old again when I listen to this.The part at 1:35-2:20 especially.
I went to Disney world about two years ago and was shocked they didn't have any Pocahontas dolls or anything because I wanted to buy one. They had all the other princesses. Some people said she isn't considered a princess. I thought that was bullshit. Regardless, she's one of the originals so she should have been on the shelf.
she´s the greatest of all princesses :)
Sure is. :)

Yeah, I know she isn't considered a princess because she's just the chief's daughter. But she's still awesome. :)
ceedling I can't view the link, probably because I'm in Canada. :(
But good to know! Too bad she's not more readily recognized as one, though.

One could meditate to this song, it's THAT peaceful :)
omg i know right? i wish it was longer tho
+Zurious Me too. But the scene wasn't meant to be longer either
true

The first magical notes brought me back to my childood, those years when I hardly remember that I used to be happy..
You were probably happy then because you had dreams bigger than your body. If you want that happiness again, maybe its time to reclaim those dreams.
Lenny Jay It's not that easy to "reclaim my dreams" if I'm depressed, and I can't even see a future anymore.
Hardwa Demaldè D You're welcome. I'm sorry that you're in a dark place right now. If nothing else, keep listening to songs like this that bring you back that childhood joy for a while. I'm sure things will get better for you. (:
Lenny Jay Wow... I really can't thank you enough :')
This and "Listen With Your Heart I" are the best tracks of the movie, in my opinion.
123leyang321 Indeed
You cannot exclude colors of the wind, absolutely beautiful.
0:00-0:03 The most beautiful three notes I've ever heard.
the flutes/strings at beginning are very stunning..
This is definitely my favorite Disney soundtrack of all time. I love this Disney Pocahontas soundtrack.
WOW. 1:28 is such a POWERFUL transition. So mysterious and beautiful and goosebumps everytime!
Oh, Nostalgia, you feel so good. This, Lion King, Tarzan, Mulan. Childhood days revisited.
This song is so beautiful!! Man, Disney songs are masterpieces. Walt knew how to do his work and get to our hearts :3
Army ehhhhh
John Smith: (after noticing Grandmother Willow) "What was that?!"
Pocahontas: "Did you see something?"
John Smith: "No, no... I just that... I... I didn't see anything, did I?"

"Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me"
"Then you should talk back."

"No! Wait! Please."

"You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? It's alright."
Omg I love that part
Then it's like BOOM she knows English
Yeah, it's something you easily overlook when you're a kid, but when you're older...
Love has no language barrier, you can hear the spirits singing "listen to your heart" when she tries to understand and speak English. :>

So glad I found the soundtrack to it! I absolutely love it! It really makes up the powerful scene!
Omg yes💘🙃👀
Who else tears up? :,)
Yeees
Me,too..
Currently crying
I do. This song is so emotional.
John Smith: Pocahontas, the tree is talking to me o___o
I wish there was more to sing a lot to since this is my favourite song.
Agreed. This is my favorite too. :3
Every time I go on a walk now, I listen to this especially during this pandemic time. It’s so calming 😊
That's a great habit! I'm going to do this too now thanks for the sugggestion
Alan Menken is a genius.
Arrogance vs Emotional intelligence
Love vs the odds
Earth vs Greed
Beautiful animation with vivid messages.
0:30 hitting me with the feels
Pocahontas is a very underrated Disney movie. And it has one of the best soundtrack if not the best soundtrack out of all Disney movies 🤷🏾♂️
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. We were at Disney World the summer this movie came out and we watched a live stage production at the park before we saw the movie. Still looking to find a good book about the life of Pocahontas.
This song will always give me goosebumps
0:00-0:42 Always make me feel that something 💕
I swear this is some of the most beautiful music ever created...
"My name is... Pocahontas."
this just.. can't get more beautiful
Simply beautiful music
Pocahontas is buried at Gravesend, England. Weird fact of the day :)
And if her and John Smith really had an affair, that would have made Smith a pedophile
Bender B. Rodriguez apparently she was married to the guy in pocahontas 2, cant remember his name really. but smith was more like a friend i think lol
I have always carried this message in my heart
Pocahantas is one of my favourite Disney princesses.....this song is so peaceful yet strong to me
I will never forget the TV Spot for "Spirited Away" I saw with this piece of music. Easily one of the most powerful moments of music and visuals in perfect synchronization I've ever experienced in my life.
What? Really? There is a video about it?
This song is so so magical ! And one of the most beautiful scenes when they meet ! 💘🍃🌻
this whole movie makes me emotional for some reason. it's got that power. lol. no other disney movie does that.
Hauntingly beautiful
The part you're looking for starts at 1:25 .
"Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand." 😣😍such good writing! I'm in love with this song.
Oh my .. I love this song. "If I never knew you" beautiful soundtrack and gorgeous movie. I will always a special place in my heart for these Disney classics
this is so ridiculously beautiful. the score to this movie is AMAZING
Not even halfway through and I'm already in tears.

You gotta love the violin part at 0:31. It has a soft, sad, and romantic feel to it. When I close my eyes, my eyes feel like I can shed a tear and my breath just flew away from my throat
everything about pocohontas is awesome, the music, the colors in the cartoon bring it a good vibe, the forests the everything
One of my favorite Disney scores
This is so beautiful that when I watched Pocahontas last time, I cried. And I am 24!
It's part of a cut scene. There is actually a whole song there that was taken out. It was dubbed "too serious" for kids. It really is the most beautiful love duet in Disney history. The pop version is in the credits.
I was 7 years old and I never forget when I saw Pocahontas Trailer in my VHS's The Lion King
The most beautiful first 3 notes I have ever heard.
they need to make a third film to fix what happened in number two
+Loly laura Uh, I think Bryan Luippold was referring to her ending up with John Rolfe in the sequel POCAHONTAS II: JOURNEY TO A NEW WORLD, which she, in fact, did in real life (so that's true to history), and she does as well in THE NEW WORLD, so I don't know how that's gonna fix anything for Bryan Luippold.
give me back my historically inaccurate John Smith and Pocahontas romance
@@baileydavenport2651 The sequel doesn't exist to me. But in actuality Pocahontas was like 11 when she saved John Smith so the entire world Disney created is fictional. Weird that they decided to make a sequel based on the facts when they didn't follow them to begin with
@@jillmayer9501 I know right! Disney was like "wait a second, she married who?"
0:31 has me in tears every time I hear it; it's pretty much when Pochahontas is trying to tell John goodbye in the tent scene.
Soo beautifull...❤❤
Great Grandmother Willow's melody sooths my soul
1:31 arrepia até a alma. Pocahontas é o melhor filme da Disney e tem a melhor trilha sonora. É lindo do início ao fim. ❣
Unpopular opinion: Pocahontas is the best princess, you CANT change my mind
So lovely
Haunting.
This is one of the single most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Then again, so is the entire score!
This song is so beautiful. :)
I don’t care what the critics say. There is more tenderness and depth of feeling in the scene where John Smith and Pocahontas meet than in anything Pixar and Disney make today.
This sounds so pure and true
Beautifol song
the soundtrack of this movie is outstanding. i love pocahontas.
My favorite Disney movie from now on,
Such a beautiful piece of music - even if someone had never even heard of the cartoon
beautiful music
Powerfull masterpiece It remains me childhood, omg it makes me cry.
Love Grandmpther Willows voice, so wise and soft
I love those two movies!! I used to watch them every day! :D
I love how they welded if I never knew you with listen to your heart
Anyone else listen to this song whenever they imagine seeing their long lost friend for the first time in years?
Awesome. I love Disney soundtracks
There is no reason why you can't relive it watching Disney over and over
Tears I miss the 90s an my childhood time is something we can never get back
Pocahontas: "Then you should talk back."
Grandmother Willow: (to John Smith) "Don't be frightened, young man. My bite is worse than my bark."
Pocahontas: "Say something."
I've been looking all OVER to find this! Thank you so so much. Great Q too.
1:28 first meeting scene and this music💘🕊peaceful💘
What a beautiful score! If only the movie were historically accurate..
Pocahontas and Hercules and The Lion King had the best soundtracks! IMO!
its called 'if i never knew you'
how could you not like this?!
Nata cui, natu raught? or something along those lines x3 brings me back to those times when i tried to do intense meditation on this song plus the first version when i was small
However many problems you may have with Pocahontas, you simply cannot fault this score. It is flawless.
This song is actually called 'They Meet At the River's Edge' ♥
The beginning is 'if I never knew you" then it is "listen with your heart"
I really wish the part at 0:53 lasted longer
They sound so devastated about it, too.
"What do you say to a tree?!"
GUYS. FIGHTING OVER THE INTERNET IS POINTLESS. JUST SHUDDUP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC THAT WE NEVER HAVE NOWADAYS.
the film had many great songs, but this one always stood out to me.. great moment when it was used too. I just uploaded my remix :D
Pocahontas and The Lion King soundtrack is the best, well in my opinion. (:
the beginning is like your love is moving away from another home, and you don't want her to move out. until once, you ran away from your home, and have a long trip to find your true love.
crying..
Yes, I found it!
Simply astounding!
