I love it too! One of the things that was missing in Frozen imo. The guys did a great job but I just can't stop thinking how it would've been if Alan had made the score. Menken in a genious!!!
+Mariana Garcia Even in Tangled, I was a bit disappointed that the film didn't end with a rousing score. It was just cheeky dialogue and another joke with the old, drunk guy. Funny ending way to end, but not particularly great or emotional.
+Rick Beck ugh I know! It bothers me that they had that ol guy for the ending. It wasn't even funny, it looks creepy to be honest. I 100% agree with you.
This has to be one of Disney's finest endings ever conceived. People may moan that Pocahontas is a historically inaccurate film, and it is, but she and John Smith don't get a traditional happy ending. The way they say good-bye is poetic and gorgeously realized, both visually and through this masterful score. It's really outstanding work.
Rick Beck as a kid it was the movie that made me feel like I was watching a grown up film. I don't agree with the historical innacuracies that the movies portrays but as a love story, it works for me!
It's too bad Disneys movies nowadays dont have this ending...especially when 3D animated movies replaced 2D animation of the Disney Golden Age through the Rennaisance.
Yep. I also appreciate the bittersweet ending. Plus, from start to finish, this movie's music is first-rate: the songs AND the score (especially love 3:35 til the end).
Goosebumps. Goosebumps all over. People always say that Beauty and the Beast is the best of Alan Menkin's soundtracks, but, in my opinion, Pocahontas is. It never fails to make goosebumps appear on my skin (especially this score). When it gets to the part where it starts playing the instrumentals for 'If I Never Knew You' and starts speeding up when she starts running, and then transitions into 'Colors of the Wind' I feel like crying because it's so perfect.
My favorite Alan Menken piece by far. Every time I hear "Farewell" I get so emotional. The buildup to the crescendo in the end is just so beautiful. Alan Menken could always make a damn good soundtrack.
3:57 is where the goosebumps arrive. I wish Disney still did this with their musicals, like "Frozen," "Tangled," and hopefully "Moana." Have a choir singing the main song at the end for a powerful finale.
This movie will forever be my favorite, and the score produced by Menken just makes me appreciate and have a deep fondness for the movie. I've never loved a movie score as much as this one. Every time I watch Pocahontas with the wonderful score behind it, always makes me cry.
the part in the music; where in the movie pocahontas and some of the people from her tribe appear through the fog with bowls of food and corn. that moved me. the music was on point too.
I remember watching this when I was little and learning not all stories have a happy ending. Which of course makes the ones that do all the happier, and the ones that don't all the more aching :)
Colors of the wind (Reprise). - 3:57 "And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon " "For whether we are white or copper skinned " "We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains " "We need to paint with all the colors of the wind " "You can own the Earth and still " "All you'll own is Earth until " "You can paint with all the colors of the wind" 4:43
I'm gonna admit it, this played in my head during two different moments in my life, but they were both very similar. I was watching someone I loved walk out of my life forever.
this is probably the disney princess movie with the bleakest ending. like sure everything worked out in the end but its no 'lived happily ever after.' I really like that actually
This is beautiful music it’s like when someone my age who is like a little sister and someone who is like a big sister in my grade hugs each other which is cute🥹
This movie, although a favorite of mine, is a white man's fantasy. I love the character design and the music so so much. But I struggle with this whole movie, not only because it isn't true, but because of how the US government still treats indigenous population today. So much culture and people just massacred and colonized, and separating kids from their families. But that scene of Pocahontas running in the woods to say good bye, is forever etched in my childhood. I was able to hate myself a bit less because her beauty was so unconventional.
I love how Menken wraps up all the major musical themes of the movie into one epic and tear-inducing ending

I love that in every Disney Animation with Choirs in the background

This piece, in particular, is so moving and powerful. Makes me cry every time
Every time I listen to this I go to comment because of how much I love it... But then I look and I'm like oh wait
I couldn't have said it better! Every time either chills or crying! Such a beautiful piece! ❤️

Why is Disney movie's like Pocahontas have to have ending that hurts so bad. Every time I hear this I can't help but be teary.
Most Disney movies have happy endings.
This triple climax at the end always gets me!
Menken is such an extraordinary melodist.
3:57 is where the goosebumps arrive.

+LilacGamer What's the name of the song?

Honestly I don't even care that it's historically in accurate. This is such a beautiful film :')
Oh beautiful 🎶❤️

Love this so much!!!
Oh God I forgot how good this is. I'm trying really hard not to cry at my desk at work.
I remember watching this when I was little and learning not all stories have a happy ending.
Which of course makes the ones that do all the happier, and the ones that don't all the more aching :)
***** for me it starts 10 seconds earlier omg. the build up.
No one will ever know if Pocahontas regretted her decision About being with Smith or if she just wanted to see the ship until it disappears.
This is one of my most favorite score of all time! And it is a very sad one.
This score is SO beautiful to listen too - so inspiring and moving at the same time. It really captures the essence of this movie wonderfully.
What a wonderful music track! Just awesome! Thanks for uploading!!!
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Thank you for uploading such a clear rendition of this piece. :D It is a pleasure for me to listen to, and run to.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND IM DEVASTATED
This piece is so beautiful....always gives me goosebumps!

So emotional.
3:08 teary eyed anybody?
La plus belle musique de Disney 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
3:09 on onward with this is my favorite part!
it will never fail to make me cry
I'm gonna admit it, this played in my head during two different moments in my life, but they were both very similar. I was watching someone I loved walk out of my life forever.
I cry EVERY TIME T~T
Opening To Pocahontas 1996 VHS
Pocahontas is the only movie that did feature a very sad ending.
This song can bring me to tears easily. So easily I have problems listening to it.
1:38 A Whole New World
Pretty neat track, I'd say.
I believe this is the only Disney movie without a happy ending😔
Today my daughter turned 20 ♡
He doesn't die! Not sad!...wait yes sad, because he leaves :(
Ok... I'm crying.
this is probably the disney princess movie with the bleakest ending. like sure everything worked out in the end but its no 'lived happily ever after.' I really like that actually
I think it adds to the movie's beauty tbh
I know this isn't the real story, but I'd like to think Alan was thinking of Howard while writing this.
This is beautiful music it’s like when someone my age who is like a little sister and someone who is like a big sister in my grade hugs each other which is cute🥹
