5. "Just Around the Riverbend"

Pocahontas has just heard the news that she is to marry Kocoum. But in her heart, she knows it's just not the path for her. She hops into her canoe, and she's off! This is one of my 最喜爱的 songs, because it reveals so much about her. It shows off her adventurous side, when she goes down a big waterfall. At the end of the scene the river parts, going to seperate ways. To the left, the river it steady and calm; to the right, it's wild and full of curves and waves. She goes right, 展示 that she will follow her own path.

They share an emotional and passionate kiss, and his ship sets sail. Pocahontas runs all the way to her 最喜爱的 cliff and a big gust of wind rushes up behind her as she watches the 爱情 of her life leave.

1. "Colors of the Wind"

After insulting Pocahontas and her people 由 calling them "savages", John Smith gets schooled 由 Pocahontas.
