Also “I can’t leave you” “You never will. No matter what happens, I’ll always be with you forever.” Its really a shame this movie gets hated on because of historical inaccuracies when a lot of other movies are grievously inaccurate to their original stories like Hercules.
I'm so happy I have the DVD where they didn't cut out this song because I feel it gives the story more depth. I seriously couldn't give a shit about the historical inaccuracy I still think that Disney should make a sequel on where John Smith and Poca are finally together.
I agree! I was hoping this was the actual video because I can’t find one on TH-cam with the moonlight palette (blue colors) I’m so mad we never got an actual sequel FINALLY giving us Pocahontas Smith
@@kristinahuchison2511 I think they probably won't because historically, John Smith and Pocahontas weren't in love, and I heard Disney got backlash over portraying them like that. Cute idea, but Disney probably won't want to face more backlash.
@@rosieleaverton I mean the sequel got even more hate to the point John Rolfe doesn’t even appear in merch or anything. I’m not kidding there’s like 1%> of fans that actually liked the sequel and stupidly preferred Rolfe instead. I know that Pocahontas probably isn’t getting another sequel, considering 2 was only made to change her love interest to Rolfe in the first place. But I also think it’s because Mike Gabriel the director of the original said Pocahontas and John Smith were designed to be the Romeo and Juliet of Disney, making them the ONLY couple that don’t get a happily ever after unfortunately. I mean I even heard Disney is planning on making a live production, I’m kinda curious to see what they’ll do, considering if they try a more historically accurate approach like the sequel it’d create just as much hate as Mulan got because its Disney, not a history channel. But sadly I really can’t see them actually keeping Pocahontas and John Smith a couple, if there was a subplot romance it’d be either with Kocuom or John Rolfe because she married them in real life. I DON’T WANT A LIVE UNLESS POCAHONTAS AND JOHN SMITH REMAIN A COUPLE. And honestly I’d be disappointed if they didn’t keep the heartbreaking ending, considering that’s what made Pocahontas stand out as a Disney movie. If I got to make any movie I wanted with absolutely no questions or limits I’d either make an actual sequel to FINALLY give us Pocahontas Smith or a live action of the 95 production.
@@rosieleaverton also Pocahontas wasn’t the only Disney film to get criticized, I’m just pointing that out. That’s part of why Tiana is one of the less popular princesses. Also I kinda don’t get how Anastasia is a really popular princess film considering the REAL Anastasia freaking died when she was around 10 I believe, even the depictions of her royal life were pretty inaccurate considering how she actually lived in the winter palace, nor do they actually mention how her family was assassinated or why. The only thing I could think of was she is a European princess, while Native Americans have always had a troubled past with how they’re depicted especially in old fashioned cartoons and such.
i don't ever want to watch the sequel bc i would feel so broken watching poca with rolfe. smith and poca has been one of my favourite disney couples ever growing up
Alyanna Sophia John Smith in the sequel does not even remotely remind of the John Smith we know, it's as if Disney had created a new character that is the antithesis of John Smith. I wish my eyes never saw that terrible sequel :(
Destiny Erick yes, but so was Mulan and likewise the story was adapted. It's not a documentary movie, it's a fantasy animated movie inspired by a real life story, facts and people. And the final effect of this combination is glorious. Then for some reason they choose to milk this blockbusting cow and make a shitty sequel. Closer to the real facts or not, they destroyed the beautifully tragic, no-happy end (UNUSUAL FOR DISNEY!) story of Pocahontas and John Smith. PS Shakespeare also wrote history plays and you think that Richard III or Henry IV or Richard II were like Shakespeare portrayed them in the plays? No they weren't. Writers have one purpose: to tell a good story, with well structured characters. The creators and writers of Diseny's Pocahontas did exactly this with the prequel. Tl;Dr. The sequel is neither good storytelling nor good writing.
Destiny Erick My goodness, I don't know where did you get the vibe I was "so angry" but apparently nowadays one cannot have a strong opinion on anything without being accused of getting angry. "no reason to reply to me and tell me how bad it was that i agreed with every aspect of the sequel." ? Hang on... so you can voice and argument your opinion and I can't? I thought that's what youtube, among others, was for. Sorry, my bad!
Basing on what you just wrote, I'm inclined to believe that 75% of what you thought happened was just in your head. Again, strong opinion does not mean one 'gets angry'. The purpose of me referring to Shakespeare was merely as an example to support my argument. It's what first came to my mind so I went with it.Destiny Erick
I agree with you so much. They tried so hard to make it seem like John Smith became a bit obnoxious so to help us find Pocahontas and John Rolfe more appealing. To be honest, it didn't work.
Same! They’re my favorite Disney couple along with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider! I didn’t get to watch Pocahontas until I was older, but I remember watching the Colors of the Wind promo on either Aladdin or the Lion King and instantly fell in love with John Smith lol. The running through the forest with sunlight scene and especially the sunflower scene were always my favorites! Oh man I was so shocked and heartbroken when I saw the ending the first time. Doesn’t help they’ve always been my favorite couple. Working on a Pocahontas rewrite of both stories if you want!
Favorite lines from John in the whole freaking movie. "Pocahontas, look at me. I'd rather die tomarow, then live ah hundred years without knowing you." My 59 year old brother even loves that line, and he looks almost like him! Just wow, just freakin wow.
I feel so different when i watch it now ... i felt different when i watched it as a child... and it was the best love story for me .. let's just pretend there is no Pocahontas 2
The fact this song got cut because of a bunch of stupid kids is so wrong. This song is meant to be intimate and focused on the here and now. It isn’t meant to be flashy or catchy. Pocahontas itself already is one of the most mature Disney films, not really for elementary schoolers
I love this song, just because even though in the story, it's about John dying, it's actually a beautiful break up song. It's about loving without regret, even though in the end, you may have to part, you must remember to celebrate when you've had, and always carry the best of that person with you.
I'll never forget the day my high school sweetheart left me (not his fault, he had a tough child and teenagehood and did what he had to do to build a better life) I told him I didn't want him to leave, begged him not to go, and with tears in his eyes he said "just keep me tucked away in your heart. As long as you do that I'll always be with you." 10 years later we found our way into each others lives again (albeit long distance and living in different states) and became best friends and remained that way until the day he died. Oh and I forgot to mention the best part of this whole love story. His name is John.
Aww! That’s so sweet. As much as I was crushed at the heartbreaking ending of Pocahontas, I really feel the ending fit the more mature dynamic of their relationship. Like John jokes “What pain? I’ve been in worse pain than this, can’t think of any right now, but….” And its a indication that he hasn’t experienced the worst pain yet, saying goodbye, something he NEVER does in the movie until the ending. It shows how badly he wanted to be with Pocahontas and flat out didn’t want to be a captain anymore. And I find the part where he waves to her so sweet, because he never forgot how to say goodbye in her language, just never wanted to. Though I’m mad the ending song isn’t called Anna or we hear a faint “anna” whisper in the last shot of Pocahontas. Like as much as I absolutely hated Pocahontas and John were the ONLY Disney couple that got a sad ending, I still slightly dig it, because unfortunately sometimes love just doesn’t work the way we want. Its a beautiful example of showing your love for someone will keep on burning as long as they’re in your heart. Why the crap Pocahontas chose Rolfe over him was a massive insult and a huge middle finger to the beautiful love between Pocahontas and John Smith.
Seriously Mel Gibson and Zachary Levi were the most stunned for me when they sang for Disney. I was like HUH the dude from Braveheart and the dude from Chuck CAN SING. Give them a record deal.
Chills run down my back when they sing together, and when John Smith sings alone and explains everything. *tears up* omg THIS is Disney. Not "Jonas Brothers", "Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana", or "Camp Rock". This is true and pure, and so full of heart and love and passion. PS, John Rolfe could've been epic if she hadn't ended up with him and they had just stayed friends =P
It's so funny growing up as a kid how listening to this song didn't mean much but then you grow up, experience a little love with a certain special someone and then it means a whole lot more. sigh love, life (:
@@kristinahuchison2511 if there’s a petition for Disney to make Pocahontas 3 where her and John smith get the happy ever after they were denied of I will sign my name on every line if that’s what it takes 😂😂
@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi or a live action with this story. Legit I am praying to see Chris Hemsworth as John Smith, but sadly I don’t think it’ll ever happen. If Disney does Pocahontas (which I think they already said no) sadly her love interest would be Kocuom or Rolfe because “historical accuracy” 🙄 If I ever win the lottery, believe me I’ll open my own animation studio and make Pocahontas 3
Yep! Even as a kid I shipped these two so hard. The sequel ruined everything. These two definitely don’t get enough love and don’t deserve to get hated because Disney based them on real people.
Actually some of the VHS copies had it. It was originally played during test screening, which was literally like 5 year olds, which is the stupid and unfortunate reason why the song was deleted. Like I’m so mad the directors literally forgot Pocahontas was the most mature Disney film yet, like it was more of a PG movie considering its themes of anti colonialism and racism
I love this song! Great job on the vid. Man, when you think about what they went through in the first movie, it just doesn't seem right that ends up with John Rolf(I'm not sure if I spelled that right.) in the second movie.
Especially considering Pocahontas doesn’t want to marry kocoum because of how serious and bland he is but she falls in love with John smith because he’s friendly, fun loving and adventitious and isn’t controlling or possessive (kocoum gave me those vibes) like Pocahontas from the first movie wouldn’t want to be friends with let alone love John Rolfe he’s such a stuck up arrogant tool it’s like Belle dumping the beast for Gaston
The original cut the song. It was included back in the 2005 Special Edition DVD, but subsequent rerelease versions (like my 2012 copy) don't have it, other than the studio artist version at the end titles.
@@cadence2662 some of the VHS copies had it. Maybe Disney Singalong too? I know one of them had a deleted song from Peter Pan: Never Smile at a Crocodile
Pocahontas is beautiful with her long raven hair and her eyes that hold so much intensity. It's like how is that even possible for a cartoon character to have? I still don't understand why this song was deleted from the movie in the first place but this song is beautiful but also sad at the same time.
Stupid test audiences were little kids that got bored and fussy during this part, which is so stupid why they cut it because a bunch of stupid brats. Kids almost never want to listen to a song unless it’s visually appealing. If I Never Knew You is meant to be intimate in the here and now as John Smith truly believed this would be his last moment with her, so he’s pouring his heart and soul out to her singing about how much he truly loves her and would rather die loving her than live his entire life never knowing her. I mean the fact he can’t hold her in his big strong arms to show he won’t ever leave her and will protect her from any danger completes this song entirely, especially during her solo she actually is sitting in his lap trying to be as physically close to him as possible. Pocahontas already is one of the more mature productions with the backstory of colonialism alone, and Pocahontas and John Smith have the most beautiful and powerful love, because they had actual trials to endure and actually took the time to get to know each other. So really it already wasn’t meant for 5 year olds.
I can't believe pocahontas gets married with John Rolfe in the second movie and chooses to stop loving Smith. BULLSHIT we all have to forget that movie, as a respect for ours childhoods.
I didn’t watch Pocahontas until I was like 18, but Pocahontas and John Smith were always my favorite Disney couple as a kid. Pretty sure I would’ve hated the sequel so much because I had a huge crush on John Smith lol. I was spared from disappointment as a kid lpl
Man I love this song. Part 2 was ruined by Rolfe. Sure she married him in real life but god John Smith fell in love with her first and he asked her to come with him and what did she say I belong here and he goes then I will stay here with you and Pocahuntas is like no you have to go back. Seriously what the hell was she thinking of leaving a hot cartoon man . How selfish is she. Mel Gibson has a nice singing voice.
I agree! Not she was selfish as she wanted him to live more than being with her knowing his wound unfortunately would kill him eventually. Colors of the Wind is the main song, and it’s literally about valuing life, hence why it’s the ending instrumental instead of If I Never Knew You. But I beyond agree with her dumping him for John Rolfe 🤢🤮 He isn’t even hot, let alone attractive, and she dumped the hottest Disney male character ever (aside Flynn Rider) like gurl WTF?! This dude almost died for you and you told him to get lost?!
@@kristinahuchison2511 Pocahontas from the first movie wouldn’t want to be friends with let alone fall in love with John Rolfe Pocahontas dumping John smith for John Rolfe is like Belle dumping the beast for Gaston jasmine dumping Aladdin for prince achmed or Nala dumping simba for scar
DAMN you disney you couldn't just leave part 1 alone no you had to add a second one to complete it we all now it happened in real life but couldn't you have made it the other way around
When I was young, I read cartoon strip about Pocahontas. John Smith was portrayed as an adventurer who was always away on exploration voyages. He loved public accolades for his exploits than staying committed to Pocahontas. Did he propose marriage to Pocahontas? While Pocahontas waited, Rolf was always there. Rolf proposed. Pocahontas accepted. Even though she married Rolf, the memory of John Smith still lingered in her memory. She was disappointed with John Smith. He never asked!!
It does. If you ignore historical accuracy, personally I think Pocahontas is one of the most beautiful movies, especially with the artstyle having a more realistic look with Pocahontas and John Smith because they’re based on real people. Plus I really dig Pocahontas and John Smith have one of the most mature relationships in Disney, given how they interact, specifically kissing, and the ending having a more mature conclusion. Sadly love doesn’t always work the way we want, and in the end Pocahontas loved John so much she insisted he returned without her, knowing he might die before he even made it back, which further added to the sadness of choosing her people over her dreams to see his world. We all know as soon as he got better he’d be on the first ship back, even if he wasn’t able to walk yet. Why Pocahontas 2 had to ruin EVERYTHING 🤬
@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi omg yes. Legit sometimes I literally call him Thor lol! Disney had better cast Chris Hemsworth as John Smith, or shots will be fired!
@@kristinahuchison2511 for real lol and I don’t know how people can say Rolfe is better looking when John smiths looks like an animated Chris hemsworth and anyone with brain cells knows Chris is gorgeous !!
@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi eh, because people are blind. Same morons who can’t see how much he changed into an amazing man who was fully prepared to die for Pocahontas and her people if it meant she’d be safe. Like come on, he was even willing to die in her land if he could stay with her because he understood how much her people meant to her! Legit I just can’t see why some idiots are too judgmental of him and criticize him of being racist at first. Like yeah he’s a bit of a jerk at first, but at least he learned from his mistakes and even argued with Ratcliffe about the war. He changes immediately, he doesn’t take forever in admitting he was wrong like Aladdin who took the entire damn film to stop lying to Jasmine. Like I don’t get why a liar is hailed as one of the best Disney princes, BUT a man who almost died saving his girl’s dad is criticized and unfairly judged for being a real person. He was always my favorite prince aside Flynn Rider, and its so sad to see how he gets slammed for being a real and terrible person instead of just being seen as a Disney character. Like come on.
So, here's a guy who likes Disney movies. I am a girl who likes Disney Movies, wants to sing this song with her future lover and wants her john Smith. There are lots of us, women and men, outside the world so you will find her one day and so will I.!!!
Yeah...They should remake part two and the current one should be banned. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of different stories on what actually happened. No one knows what did so they could have made a real Disney ending as far as I'm concerned. >.>
Mel Gibson can actually sing!! OMG! Sorry for Mel, but after listening John Secada voice there's no comparison. I was just watching the movie in english (I'm argentinian so I've only watched in spanish) and I realise how sexy Mel's voice is when he said: "Look at me, I rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you" That part just melted me. Anyone know a video where they show him singing the song?
Growing up Mufasa was my father, Bambi's mother was my mother, Ariel was my sister, Peter pan was my younger brother, Hercules was my older brother, Esmeralda was my aunt, The Genie was my weird uncle, Woody & Buzz were my best friends, Baloo & Bagheera were my babysitters, The Dalmatians were my pets, Growing up Disney was my family. I'm proud to say I am a 90's kid. I know we probably can't do anything but if you had this childhood and want your kids to as well, please repost this.
@NAVEMAN3 Pocahontas actually died in Gravesend, England around 21 or 22 years old still married to Rolfe - I was so shocked when I found out she died so young.

Man, when you think about what they went through in the first movie, it just doesn't seem right that ends up with John Rolf(I'm not sure if I spelled that right.) in the second movie.
Especially considering Pocahontas doesn’t want to marry kocoum because of how serious and bland he is but she falls in love with John smith because he’s friendly, fun loving and adventitious and isn’t controlling or possessive (kocoum gave me those vibes) like Pocahontas from the first movie wouldn’t want to be friends with let alone love John Rolfe he’s such a stuck up arrogant tool it’s like Belle dumping the beast for Gaston
I have seen Pocahontas a thousand times as a kid but why don't I know or remember this song???
It's cuz the original movie cut out most of this song
The original cut the song. It was included back in the 2005 Special Edition DVD, but subsequent rerelease versions (like my 2012 copy) don't have it, other than the studio artist version at the end titles.
Because it was cut and only in the anniversary edition movie
Cadence Blood CADY HOW THE-
@@cadence2662 some of the VHS copies had it. Maybe Disney Singalong too? I know one of them had a deleted song from Peter Pan: Never Smile at a Crocodile
This song is so beautiful! Too bad it didn't make it to the movie
🎵If I never knew this song, I would be depressed 🎵
Pocahontas is beautiful with her long raven hair and her eyes that hold so much intensity. It's like how is that even possible for a cartoon character to have? I still don't understand why this song was deleted from the movie in the first place but this song is beautiful but also sad at the same time.
Stupid test audiences were little kids that got bored and fussy during this part, which is so stupid why they cut it because a bunch of stupid brats. Kids almost never want to listen to a song unless it’s visually appealing. If I Never Knew You is meant to be intimate in the here and now as John Smith truly believed this would be his last moment with her, so he’s pouring his heart and soul out to her singing about how much he truly loves her and would rather die loving her than live his entire life never knowing her. I mean the fact he can’t hold her in his big strong arms to show he won’t ever leave her and will protect her from any danger completes this song entirely, especially during her solo she actually is sitting in his lap trying to be as physically close to him as possible.
Pocahontas already is one of the more mature productions with the backstory of colonialism alone, and Pocahontas and John Smith have the most beautiful and powerful love, because they had actual trials to endure and actually took the time to get to know each other. So really it already wasn’t meant for 5 year olds.
this song is so great T_T
this song makes me cry, no lie.
I cried through the whole fucking song.. ahh
I also cried through the whole song too
john smith was my first crush
Pocahontas was my first crush
i was so sad when she fell in love with John Rolf. I like John Smith more!!
This song always makes me cry.
this song also makes me cry too
I can't believe pocahontas gets married with John Rolfe in the second movie and chooses to stop loving Smith. BULLSHIT we all have to forget that movie, as a respect for ours childhoods.
I didn’t watch Pocahontas until I was like 18, but Pocahontas and John Smith were always my favorite Disney couple as a kid. Pretty sure I would’ve hated the sequel so much because I had a huge crush on John Smith lol. I was spared from disappointment as a kid lpl
this is just sooo great
me to i found out two years ago mel did a amazing job as john smith
Love this song!
When I get upset o listen to this song and watch it the film too.
Couple of years ago I had a boyfriend who sang this song to me made me cry
Man I love this song. Part 2 was ruined by Rolfe. Sure she married him in real life but god John Smith fell in love with her first and he asked her to come with him and what did she say I belong here and he goes then I will stay here with you and Pocahuntas is like no you have to go back. Seriously what the hell was she thinking of leaving a hot cartoon man . How selfish is she. Mel Gibson has a nice singing voice.
I agree! Not she was selfish as she wanted him to live more than being with her knowing his wound unfortunately would kill him eventually. Colors of the Wind is the main song, and it’s literally about valuing life, hence why it’s the ending instrumental instead of If I Never Knew You. But I beyond agree with her dumping him for John Rolfe 🤢🤮 He isn’t even hot, let alone attractive, and she dumped the hottest Disney male character ever (aside Flynn Rider) like gurl WTF?! This dude almost died for you and you told him to get lost?!
@@kristinahuchison2511 Pocahontas from the first movie wouldn’t want to be friends with let alone fall in love with John Rolfe Pocahontas dumping John smith for John Rolfe is like Belle dumping the beast for Gaston jasmine dumping Aladdin for prince achmed or Nala dumping simba for scar
this song pretty much makes me cry
this song also makes me cry too
My favorite Disney movie EVER!!!!!
Great Movie!!! 2 thumbs up!
DAMN you disney you couldn't just leave part 1 alone no you had to add a second one to complete it we all now it happened in real life but couldn't you have made it the other way around
this song make me cry
@MomoTheStrange omg, Pocahontas has to be one of the saddest/happiest Disney Movies ever... :')
When I was young, I read cartoon strip about Pocahontas. John Smith was portrayed as an adventurer who was always away on exploration voyages. He loved public accolades for his exploits than staying committed to Pocahontas. Did he propose marriage to Pocahontas? While Pocahontas waited, Rolf was always there. Rolf proposed. Pocahontas accepted. Even though she married Rolf, the memory of John Smith still lingered in her memory. She was disappointed with John Smith. He never asked!!
Seriously crying so much
I'd rather die tomorrow than live 100 years without watching this movie
OMG THIS IS SOO SWEET!! :(
Pocahontas 2 does NOT exist!! It simply DOES NOT!!! *denial*
whaaat a beautiful movie......and song!!!
yes this is a beautiful movie and song
People no one cares about real life! In the world of Disney Pocahontas and John Smith were meant to be! WE WERE BETRAYED!
Wow wonderful vid!! soo beautiful =)
It really is a beautiful song, isn't it? I wish so much that the movie itself held the same standard..
It does. If you ignore historical accuracy, personally I think Pocahontas is one of the most beautiful movies, especially with the artstyle having a more realistic look with Pocahontas and John Smith because they’re based on real people. Plus I really dig Pocahontas and John Smith have one of the most mature relationships in Disney, given how they interact, specifically kissing, and the ending having a more mature conclusion. Sadly love doesn’t always work the way we want, and in the end Pocahontas loved John so much she insisted he returned without her, knowing he might die before he even made it back, which further added to the sadness of choosing her people over her dreams to see his world. We all know as soon as he got better he’d be on the first ship back, even if he wasn’t able to walk yet. Why Pocahontas 2 had to ruin EVERYTHING 🤬
Their love story reminded me of Romeo and Juliet, it was beautiful
I wish I had a John smith,and I love this song!!im a Disney freak!!!!!!!:)
I've been watching this movie sinc I was two years old, and only JUST found out that Mel Gibson was the acting and singing voice of John Smith. Huh.
DUDE he is the sexiest cartoon man ever! YESSSS LMAO!
I agree! Had a huge crush on him ever since I was 7, still do lol
I know he basically looks like an animated Chris hemsworth 😍😍
@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi omg yes. Legit sometimes I literally call him Thor lol! Disney had better cast Chris Hemsworth as John Smith, or shots will be fired!
@@kristinahuchison2511 for real lol and I don’t know how people can say Rolfe is better looking when John smiths looks like an animated Chris hemsworth and anyone with brain cells knows Chris is gorgeous !!
@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi eh, because people are blind. Same morons who can’t see how much he changed into an amazing man who was fully prepared to die for Pocahontas and her people if it meant she’d be safe. Like come on, he was even willing to die in her land if he could stay with her because he understood how much her people meant to her! Legit I just can’t see why some idiots are too judgmental of him and criticize him of being racist at first. Like yeah he’s a bit of a jerk at first, but at least he learned from his mistakes and even argued with Ratcliffe about the war. He changes immediately, he doesn’t take forever in admitting he was wrong like Aladdin who took the entire damn film to stop lying to Jasmine. Like I don’t get why a liar is hailed as one of the best Disney princes, BUT a man who almost died saving his girl’s dad is criticized and unfairly judged for being a real person. He was always my favorite prince aside Flynn Rider, and its so sad to see how he gets slammed for being a real and terrible person instead of just being seen as a Disney character. Like come on.
yeah no stress i just recomend myself to watch it
So, here's a guy who likes Disney movies.
I am a girl who likes Disney Movies, wants to sing this song with her future lover and wants her john Smith.
There are lots of us, women and men, outside the world so you will find her one day and so will I.!!!
Same here! Legit I’m gonna play If I Never Knew You at my wedding, along with I See the Light
I'm more fond of your montage that what is actually in the movie.
Uhm, who knew MEL GIBSON could sing?!?!? hahah. xD I loveeeeeeee his voice.
im a guy and im in love with this song
Pocahontas was drawn more beautiful in the 1st movie. That's what i think.. Hahaha, I miss the ogrinal Disney & movies like this.
wow... I have the soundtrack, and I've never heard this version of the song. where'd you get it??
Yeah...They should remake part two and the current one should be banned. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of different stories on what actually happened. No one knows what did so they could have made a real Disney ending as far as I'm concerned. >.>
He was my first crush ♥
Same, still do since I was 7 lol 🤣
Also Aladdin. Don’t like him as much now because of how much he lies. But also love Philip, Naveen and huge shout out to Flynn Rider
awesome video
Mel Gibson can actually sing!! OMG!
Sorry for Mel, but after listening John Secada voice there's no comparison.
I was just watching the movie in english (I'm argentinian so I've only watched in spanish) and I realise how sexy Mel's voice is when he said:
"Look at me, I rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you"
That part just melted me.
Anyone know a video where they show him singing the song?
Growing up Mufasa was my father, Bambi's mother was my mother, Ariel was my sister, Peter pan was my younger brother, Hercules was my older brother, Esmeralda was my aunt, The Genie was my weird uncle, Woody & Buzz were my best friends, Baloo & Bagheera were my babysitters, The Dalmatians were my pets, Growing up Disney was my family. I'm proud to say I am a 90's kid. I know we probably can't do anything but if you had this childhood and want your kids to as well, please repost this.
This song is the jam.
yes this song is the jam
Ok, I'm crying now!!!!!
I'm also crying too
I know it's like Disney wanted to be somewhat historically accurate even though almost nothing in either movies was, just to mess with us.
I know the second one is suppose to be more historically acuterature and I agree that the second destoryed the purpose of the first one.
@NAVEMAN3 Pocahontas actually died in Gravesend, England around 21 or 22 years old still married to Rolfe - I was so shocked when I found out she died so young.
Soooo beautiful T_T...
@SutiesFavoriteSongs Same here. Their relationship was so beautiful, possibly the most beautiful out of all the couples, and Disney had to ruin it. :(
I'mnotgonnacry...I'mnotgonnacryyyy. 2:18 I cried.
i like this version much more than the soundtrack
love this movie ! *sigh* where is my john smith?? =(
T_T... I want the dvd and i cant find it... Pocahontas rules!
