It was my favorite as a kid. It also gave me unrealistic hair expectations. As a kid I thought being like a quarter Cherokee was so freaking awesome that I could have been like Pocahontas! Then I got older and realized, hell everyone is part cherokee.
Graphically, this movie is one of the most beautiful disney films, in my opinion. It's less kiddy princess and more just stunningly gorgeous.
I also was a hippie wilderness child. My parents just made us go play outside. So my brother and I played a lot in "nature" aka our ranch. So I liked Pocahontas cause it was telling people to be nice to nature and the animals! The world is beautiful, no need to be jerkfaces to it. As a kid it resonated with me. And no need to judge people by their skin, they are all people of the earth!
I was an optimist.
Plus it mentions otters a lot in that movie.
My favorite lyric is from just around the river bend. "What I love most about rivers is, you can't step in the same river twice. The water's always changing always flowing."
As an avid lover of movie soundtracks (you guys really don't understand my love for it. I put on pandora stations of different movie composers. Even have a favorite tv show composer....). The instrumental version of listen with your heart is simply gorgeous.
