Walt Disney Pictures' Pocahontas (1995) Trailer

Trailer for the 1995 musical epic suggested by the American historical figure Pocahontas.

Plot: Romeo & Juliet set in the settling of America

This film began as a traditional animated feature where the animals talked. Kohn Candy was a deleted turkey character named Redfeather and Stephen fry was the voice of Percy the pug. After the Best Picture Oscar nomination of Beauty & the Beast, Jeffery Katzenberg aborted that version in an attempt to pander for Oscar gold with a tailor-made Best Picture. It was not successful and very few people cite Pocahontas as their favorite Disney film. In recent years, the film is even attacked as being racist even though Disney pandered to every PC "expert" of the time. Katzenberg left Disney before the competition of this film and his debut animated feature there would be another animated epic based on the story of Moses called the Prince of Egpyt.
