One of my favorite Disney songs along with "When you Wish Upon a Star" and "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" and yet, this was the song that won the Oscar!
So much emotional nuances in the voice. Disney is ambitious in the stories they select they just need to risk take to expand what an audience appreciates.

I don’t remember the first Disney movie I’ve ever watched, but I do remember the first Disney song I’ve ever heard, and it was this very one. Now I’m 24 years old and it’s one of my go-to Disney songs ♥️
+KaedeVM maybe, but for Pocahontas, the story is completely different, you can wonder why they called it Pocahontas. At least, the other Disney movies have some respect for the real story (except Hercules, maybe)
@@nanalove3819 ... it does? Pocahontas created a peace treaty with the settlers. Pocahontas 2 was by no means good, but it cleared up the John Rolfe stuff and actually made the treaty more accurate.
@@trapmix1951 The difference is that other Disney movies are fictional tales made to be glorified But Pocahontas was a real person who was in a real and horrible situation. She was ten when she was raped by an adult John Smith, her people were pillaged and hurt and given diseases and eventually succumbed to full colonization. It’s not very fair to romanticize and real life event that killed so many people and make it seem to be a story about love and peace.
You think I'm an ignorant savage And you've been so many places I guess it must be so But still I cannot see If the savage one is me How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know ... You think you own whatever land you land on The earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle, in a hoop that never ends How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll never know 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 mountain 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
This actually makes me cry a little, to think that people can look at a wild animal and think "If I killed this animal and cut off its body parts, would someone give me money so they could look at its corpse?"
If ONLY they had just made thos story with *different character*. Making up new names for the characters, changing some things of the story, make it up. Then it all would have been ok, because this is a beautiful story, the animation and music is stellar, and the message is beautiful Instead they made it with iterations of a real life little girl who was sold into marriage, misleading people about the real Pocahontas.
@@chilathecreativefox9098Pocahontas was a historical character who existed in real life, and her story is far more tragic than this movie leads us to believe.
@@Arthus850 I know, but what does he mean that the people behind this movie should've changed the story and the characters' names based on the historical event?
@@chilathecreativefox9098 Because they changed and romanticized something horrific that happened to a real life little girl. Why did they have to name the two leads in this movie after Pocahontas and John Smith when this isn't at all what happened? Instead of naming them something different because this isn't historically accurate anyway - and the movie has been controversial because of how they're romanticizing an awful historical event? The poor naming choice has made such a gorgeous and beautiful movie become controversial since how it disrespects the actual Pocahontas and fails to condemn the actual John Smith
I was sent here by Genie’s snippet of the song during Friend Like Me in the stage version of Aladdin and by Wonderful Life from Smallfoot. Because the song gives me vibes of this one since Meechee (voiced by Zendaya) is the village leader’s daughter and she sings it to her love interest Migo.
They the british settlers believed they were better than all the other races and seen themselves as people and others as savages so their saying all people should be treated fair no matter what their color and their upbringing and to walk in the footsteps of a stranger and you would have a better understanding of the situation
And then it keeps pointing out that while the white people couldn't see the earth as more than just earth to be conquered, and claimed, and the people within as savage, they're pointing out that the wealth of the earth is in itself- the people, the animals, the vegetation and the stories it holds. I wish they'd understood this.
Historically inaccurate? Yes. Racist? No. Pocahontas and her people were portrayed in a very positive light, unlike the majority of the English characters.
Did she just say White or Copper-skin the only people with Copper-skin are so call black Americans if the the case all the Indian are the real so called black people
This song is
1.Gorgeous
2.Beautiful
3.Iconic
4.Educational
5.Powerful
6.Chilling
7.Heartwarming
8.Peaceful
9.Perfect
10.Captivating
11.Cute
And sad 😔 don't forget sad 😢

This song teaches us the lessons that, as a race.. we're still struggling to learn. Perspective is everything.
Kingdom hearts 😏...pocahontas
So much emotional nuances in the voice. Disney is ambitious in the stories they select they just need to risk take to expand what an audience appreciates.
This song teaches as a good lesson about the value of life.
Judy Kuhn. God, she's amazing. Still my favorite Cosette ever
Bradley Elsken judy was cosette??? In which production? i didnt know that
@@madamemim770 She was Cosette for the original broadway production, and reprised her for the 10th anniversary. I believe she also played Fantine in a later production as well.

Bri Martinez I don’t remember the first I ever watched either. But the first I enjoyed was Snow White
I never knew this song had deeper meaning when I was younger.
but now you do
Yeah aside from the concept of this song, I enjoy it cause it has a fun strong sound to it, more than a lot of other songs of movies
Tammie Puopolo Me too...I cried after I know...
依依 his songs do that
As a child I never realized how much meaning is in this song, so beautiful :)
Such a beautiful and powerful song.
In all of Disney, to me, Pocahontas is the most beautiful and badass princess ever
Hastee Afnani My favorite princesses are Snow White Cinderella and Moana
The movie isn't like the real life Pocahontas but songs are all related to their events.
none of disney's films are like their real stories but that's why they are Disney ...

This era was the golden age of Disney.
I thought the golden age of Disney began with Snow White then ended with Bambi.
and it's so surprising from what we listened to as children. Now we understand their lyrics
I'm crying... beautiful song
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down then you'll never know
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 mountain
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
The part where she sang color of the wind look so beautiful like water color painting.
The Singing Voice… Perfection!
I love this song as the trailer of Pocahontas (1995).
Finally an HD version.
An HD version of a still image?
No just the song in general. Everytime I searched up "Colors of the Wind" I'd get very poor quality videos of the actual part in the movie.
Wolgron Oh, you mean HQ audio of the song. I got ya
This actually makes me cry a little, to think that people can look at a wild animal and think "If I killed this animal and cut off its body parts, would someone give me money so they could look at its corpse?"
This movie was really inaccurate, but so what? That's why it's fiction, not a documentary. The artstyle and music of this movie were fantastic
Horribly inaccurate movie, but it had a beautiful soundtrack. You can always count on Disney to produce some great songs.
+LunaChick415 I found it incredibly preachy.
+LunaChick415 Well the true story of pochahontas wouldnt exactly make a great children's film.
100% accurate
CowBelleDisney No, it's not, lol. Look up the real Pocahontas.
CowBelleDisney Lame ass troll.

Judy Kuhn....what a voice!
Wish this version had an instrumental, there's was one a while back but it got taken down/deleted for some reason
My favorite Disney song.
beter love story then twilight
*Better
Not the real story
She sang the racism out of him
I don't know, Pocahontas, some of the things you're saying in this song sound pretty savage to me....
Badampshh
thank you :)

She's right though....
I love song
O-seok n
Someone should show this song and movie to Tronald Dump....
And to a 1000 more politicans and globalist of The New World Order.
Or a Sleepy Biden and Democrats to Far West Conquers by Andrew Jackson.
If this song could poop, then the only color would be *peace*
I sometimes feel like this when I meet an english teacher who's read the complete works of shakespeare but not harry potter
Dear World...
so true, Pocey, so true
awesome
Native American vibes ~~
Hey, it's Elizabeth Warren! lol
😍😍
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
Her eye is crooked in this shot and it has always bothered me lmao
Hey that's just rude Richard!!!!!!!!!
Hola, les presento un comentario en español ;D
Art is art, now art is subjugated to racial identity this masterpiece would have never been made in LGBT era of Disney
preachy doug wallker
So.... damn... Tingly.... Staph it!
what you need is not like you.
L'ai du vent
You know nothing John Smith
The move is boring . But this song I awesome .
i agree
he should die!
its an awesome movie!
Zug75 He should die for having an opinion? Boy, you need to check your priorities.
Yes, I like to eat eggs. I am not a dog though, I am 100% authentic human.
fuck off
Polish better
The lyrics are kind of strange… "the only people who are people is the people…" Three times in a row? You can do better! 🤷🏻♂️

This has to be the most racist Disney movie to come out in my lifetime.
+billthegenericguy How can it be racist? It's based on TRUE history.
+billthegenericguy It was based on Captain John Smith's journal.
well i dont exactly think a 30 year old man banging a 14 year old girl is the best thing to put in a children's movie
billthegenericguy what are you talking about? How is his movie racist?
