Pocahontas is the thirty-thirdanimated feature in the Disney animated features canon. It was produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and was originally released to theaters on June 16, 1995 to selected cities by Buena Vista Pictures. The film is meant to tell of the encounter between the colonists of Jamestown, Virginia and its native Powhatan tribe. In particular, it presents a highly emotionally charged and dramatic account of the meeting between Pocahontas and John Smith. Pocahontas is one of the very few Disney films to feature an interracial romance; also, although the actual story of Pocahontas does say that she travels with John Smith to England to meet its royalty, this film version has John Smith leaving and Pocahontas staying behind.
A musical with music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, the film's anthem, Colors of the Wind won the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Song. It also won the Academy Award for Best Music/Original Score. There was a video game based on the movie under the same name, Pocahontas, released for various platforms shortly after the film's theatrical release, and it was followed by a direct-to-video sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World in 1998.
