    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Pocahontas is Disney’s beautifully animated fun-filled adventure of hope, courage and friendship. The free-spirited daughter of Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas (voice of Irene Bedard) roams Virginia’s lush tidewaters along with her friends Meeko, a mischevious raccoon and Flit, a feisty hummingbird. A strange recurring dream foretells what may happen when the gold-loving Governor Ratcliffe and a shipful of English settlers sail into the new world. When Captain John Smith (voice of Mel Gibson) meets Pocahontas by chance, she teaches him a valuable lesson in a friendship that will change history.
