Her father may want the smooth course with no bumps along the way, but that’s so boring and predictable and that’s not what Pocahontas feels is her path. This girl is so in tune with her mind, conscience, and higher powers, and she just has the deepest gut feeling that there is more in here future. “Or do you still, wait for me, Dream Giver? Just around, the river bend?”Īghhh, I’m tearing up here. But her father wants her to choose the smooth course, steady as the beating drum. This girl just cannot see her future with some stiff guy who can’t even smile, when she’s busy canoeing through epic rivers with raccoons and hummingbirds and lover otters. But, Pocahontas knows better! The River isn’t calm and steady, it’s unpredictable, just like her! She begins to sing my first favorite song, “Just Around The River bend.” Pocahontas is discussing her future with her father, and he wants Pocahontas to learn to settle down, like the river. In my opinion, the songs that Pocahontas sings throughout the beginning of the film, are some of the most crucial songs that any Disney princess has ever sung. I sat in that big chair and I looked way high up at the big screen and I fell madly in love.īetween her hilariously adorable sidekicks and the beautiful colors, Pocahontas is a timeless film that should be shown to all generations. I ate Pocahontas treats and she was on my soda cup.
Pocahontas was released while I was just a young girl, and to this day I can STILL remember the special green matching Pocahontas tank top and shorts with leaves all over them that my mommy bought for me for the release of the movie! My aunt took me along with my two cousins, and together we saw it on the big screen. He is reminded Pocahontas has her mother’s spirit, and she goes wherever the wind takes her. Speaking of young spirits, the village leader is wondering where his daughter is upon his arrival back to the village. Waiting for us, just around the river bend, and based on a true story, Walt Disney’s Pocahontas was released in 1995 during a time when Princesses were becoming very popular among little girls and women with young spirits everywhere. That lyric just helps to explain why Pocahontas songs are some of my FAVORITE Disney songs from a Disney animated film. To be safe we lose our chance in ever knowing, what’s around the river bend? Waiting… just around the river bend” But people, I guess, can’t live like that. “What I love most about rivers is, you can’t step in the same river twice, the water’s always changing always flowing.
