Pocahontas is Walt Disney’s 33rd animated classic and the first of Disney’s films based on a character from history. It tells the story of Pocahontas, the daughter of a Native American chief, who shows an Englishman that nature and land, is not something to be owned. The production of this film lasted five years because of the difficulty of the animation, with over 600 animators working on the film. It was released on the four hundredth birthday of the real life Pocahontas.
