Pocahontas: 6 Things You Didn’t Know About The "Colors Of The Wind" Song

Besides being the defining track from the soundtrack of Pocahontas, “Colors of the Wind” is also a true classic from the Disney Renaissance era and continues to be a popular staple today. Released in 1995, Pocahontas Disney-fies the true story of the titular character, an indigenous woman of the Powhatan people who falls in love with a white man named John Smith, who comes with his comrades to explore the New World. The movie was yet another big-budget animated venture from Disney which was on a roll throughout the 1990s thanks to massive hits like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
