Definitely one of the best Disney soundtracks. Still don't understand why they cut out If I Never Knew You. X(

[@Ryodoudou]

Leavemea Lone funny how it's Alan Menken's idea to cut "If I never Knew You", saying how it's scarily too mature for the young audience (didn't test well with the demographic). I can envision that though. That scene had me bawling when I saw on UA-cam last year (finally!), but I probably wouldn't feel this much back in the day...or would I? :D

[@leavemealone5268]

DouDou Eki- I know they said it didn't do well at test audiences because some kids found it 'boring' but i remember when I was younger watching the hut scene without the song and finding THAT boring. I don't even watch the blu ray version of this movie because I'd rather just watch the dvd special edition that has the song integrated into the movie.

[@mrpowerfulgamingfun1188]

Yes! This was always my favorite movie. I loved her spirit and she was the one that saved John! Back when princesses needed to be saved Pocahontas gave them all a middle finger. You can love a man without giving up who you are and what is right. I see it more clearly now as an adult that this movie was trying to empower! But this score... oh my goodness, this one and the hunchback always make me cry. They are so powerful and so moving!

[@keiko4043]

I think people dislike Disney's accuracy in the story's cultural representation, or how they dealt with themes about racism, bigotry. Some also don't like how it wasn't a happy ending. Personally, I think this is a beautiful film mostly because of the artistic aspect of it.

[@shreemuthpericherla5407]

saga2828 also a lot of people saw the movie as being boring and people credit this movie to be the downfall of Disney’s 2D animated films

[@rishabhrox1]

@@shreemuthpericherla5407
That's exaggeration. Nobody has ever said Pocahontas led to the downfall of 2D animation when in fact it was one of the most artistically created and beautiful animated film's in the entire 90s era of Disney. It was less successful only because The Lion King was released a year before and was a bigger success than anyone ever imagined - Pocahontas couldn't live up to that level. Plenty of 2D successful 2D films were made after Pocahontas like Tarzan and Mulan, and the absolutely fantastic Prince Of Egypt (although that was DreamWorks). Pocahontas DEFINITELY wasn't the reason 2D animation died out, the real reason was the change in the audience and development of computer animated technology (the success of Toy Story hinted clearly that the coming decade was going to have more of these films, nothing to do with Pocahontas though)

[@ddc163264]

The end of this is some of the most powerful music Menken has ever written. The buildup and force is incredible. I repeat the end over just hear it again. So I agree with the part from about 3:30 onward to 3:55 is fabulous build to the crescendo of the colors ending. It SO fits the movie at this point. It can make you7 see it vividly.

[@katherineyatsko4691]

It's so amazingly beautiful. The new Disney just isn't the same

[@omondieu]

+Katherine Yatsko At least the scores aren't. Maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, and the fact that we watched these films over and over as kids, but the instrumental soundtracks of the Disney Renaissance films were just so memorable and sweeping compared to those of their current films. The music that accompanies the Beast's transformation, Simba's ascent of Pride Rock, Pocahontas's farewell to John Smith, and Mulan's decision to cut her hair are so powerful. On the other hand, I couldn't identify an instrumental selection from "Frozen" if my life depended on it. Disney needs to get some strong composers working on their films again.

Me personally, I think its a tossup because while the original has superior animation/music, the sequel's story is just all around more interesting and develops the characters better. That it sticks to the historical material a little more closely doesn't hurt either. Would have been cool if they could take the elements from both and have combined them into one "great movie."

[@PantheaArthea]

As a child I wasn't a big fan of Pocahontas. To be honest, I think it was one of my least favourites. I rather watched Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast. As a child I loved only the ones with a "happy ending", the kind of endings where the prince ended up with the princess. I hated Pocahontas because of the goodbye. However as I've grown up I've seen the beauty in this movie that was invisible for my innocent soul. I've realised that the ending wasn't a goodbye but a letting go. There is a big difference as goodbye is an "I'll see you again when I'm ready to hold your hand and you're ready to hold mine" however a letting go is an "I'll miss your hand but I realized it was never mine to hold." I finally see the happy ending in this movie and that is that's it's always better to let go with a smile, than to hold on with tears.

[@PANDORASBOXRELEASE]

Aaah. I remember the cassette tape we had for this!

[@sheXdevil333]

I always get chills at around 3:30... I grew up with this movie and it will always be my favorite :)

[@Toonlover7777]

So good it really picks up and becomes so dramatic and amazing!

[@vampireknightfan019]

I love the crescendo that happens as Pocahontas is running through the woods to say goodbye to John. It's so powerful, and it really transports you as if you're in the movie yourself, experiencing what Pocahontas is feeling, or perhaps what John is feeling. A beautiful ending to a beautiful movie

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

Don't @ me, THIS CUE IS ABSOLUTELY UNBEATABLE!! There isn't a single cue from any disney score that can beat this cue, it's absolutely incredible!

[@ariland14]

I got chills!! This is so beautiful :'D.

[@christab355]

Even this part of the movie made my mother, who finds it silly and childish that I still watch animated movies and get emotional, bawled like a baby. In fact, I caught her watching this on her own. HA.

[@BoeKaldwin]

I was singing along and started crying and I was like "what the fuck, why am I crying??" It's just so beautiful, the emotion in the songs, you can feel it

[@MsKekeChannel]

It's the music that really sold this movie.
Saw it in the theater with my father back in '95 and at nearly 30 it's still embedded in my soul.❤️

[@randylee9267]

I had this movie at about 6 years old and I remember the ending made me very sad lol. After rewatching the movie I realized how good of a movie I had. Still very sad ending 15 years later❤

[@SuopIsTheWinner]

I'm not CRYING YOU ARE!! *sobbing in the corner* God I haven't watched this movie in years but I can still see everything as the song plays. AAUUUGHHH

[@Pipsa-89]

Pocahontas is THE BEST Disney movie EVER! ♥

[@GreatWestern175]

This music was in my head when I was saying my emotional goodbye to my close best friend who is Native American like Pocahontas. She stayed with me on holiday in England for two weeks which we had planned to do for years, we had the best time of our lives and felt strongly emotional when it was time for us to part ways at the airport where she was catching her flight. I said the words that Pocahontas says to John Smith "No matter what happens , I will always be with you forever."

So does anyone else listen to this and envision a reunion instead of a farewell? I am very familiar with the original scene from the movie, but I always picture watching and waiting for that special someone. Several times you think they you see them or think they've come at last and get excited only to realize it's not them. And just as you finally turn away in disappointment, the special someone comes around the corner and spots you waiting for them. To be sure, they whistle a tune that is known only between the two of you and sure enough, you recognize it, turn, and realize they're finally here! All that time spent aching and longing to see them rises then falls as you realize you finally can. A smile slowly grows across your face as you feel yourself walking towards them and they walk towards you. By now, the music has reached its glorious end as that long awaited embrace is finally yours and the rest is history.

So, during this Corona quarantine, I decided to go back to my childhood and rewatch some of the Disney movies.
Man, some stuff really hit me, I mean, all of the movies, Pocahontas, Lion King, Tarzan, Prince of Egypt all have such a deeper meaning than I actually thought.
I know they are cartoons, but adults should also watch them from time to time, just to help them remember they might not be walking the right path or have simply forgotten themselves.

[@MrIGHOSH1]

I’m a guy but I love Pocahontas!

[@evaschroeder4020]

Nothing wrong with that

[@Blue_Lugia]

Who said it was a movie for girls?
You are allowed to love what ever you want.

[@gracenern8]

This destroys my heart every time

[@kingofmonsters14]

Goosebumps, every time. man, from 1989 to 2003, Disney's soundtracks were just the best

[@Flutefella11]

This is so beautiful. I almost cry every time I hear the ending. Alan Menken is a true genius

[@fancyratlove3510]

I feel bad for the uploader: 'I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING'
Poor kid.

[@MoChoudhury91]

Your comment had me bursting out in laughter. Have a thumbs up :)

[@DannyAvilaRdz]

lol

[@VCYT]

Thats also what president Trump says to himself.

[@MarianaGarciaGrijalva]

Damn it, Menken. You ruined my makeup. Again T-T

[@sairysv8625]

lol!

[@anakarinabanana]

Alan Menken is brilliant.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

1:58 : that moment when nothing's left to delay the sorrow that is going to strike your heart at the thought the time has come to say goodbye. I'm heart-broken each time I listen to this beautiful track.

[@sarahl9398]

This beautiful comment added another layer of sorrow and depth.

[@AnimeQueeny]

One of the best features about Pocahontas is it's soundtrack. The music from this animation always sent chills down my spine :)

[@doubtingmustafa]

Alan Menken outside himself with this score. This song is so beautiful.
