Facts
Pocahontas is the thirty-third animated feature in the Disney animated
features canon. It was produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation in April
15, 1994 and was originally released to selected theaters on June 16, 1995
by Buena Vista Pictures. The film is the first Disney film to be based on
a real historic character. The film is based on the known historical story
of Pocahontas but also on the folklore and legend that surround it. In
particular, it presents an emotionally charged and highly dramatic account
of the meeting between Pocahontas and John Smith. Pocahontas is one of the
very few Disney
films to feature an interracial romance (though not to the point of
marriage). This movie is part of the Disney Renaissance that began in
1989.
A video game based on the film was released across various platforms
shortly after the film's theatrical release, and the film itself was
followed by a direct-to-video sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New
World in 1998.
This film was rated G by the MPAA.
Box Office
Pocahontas was a box-office success, earning $141,579,773 in the United
States and $347,179,773 worldwide. |
