Along with her playful pals, Meeko, a mischievous raccoon, and feisty hummingbird, Flit, Pocahontas develops a strong friendship with Captain Smith. But when tensions mount between their two very different cultures, Pocahontas seeks the lively wisdom of Grandmother Willow to help her find a way for everyone to live together in peace. Winner of two Academy Awards for Best Song ("Colors of the Wind") and Best Musical Score, Pocahontas surrounds you with the riches of "another glowing winner in Disney's animated hit parade!"
