Dancing to the Wedding Drum

Dancing to the Wedding Drum is a deleted scene and deleted song from the Disney Feature Film: Pocahontas. At the start of the seen Pocahontas is seen at the river with Meeko and Flit. She tells them that she is not sure if Kocoum is the right husband for her. She plans to quietly go see her father to talk to him about it. However, the second she enters the village she is seranaded by the people who are excited for the daughter of the cheif's wedding. They give her gifts and compliment how lovely of a bride she will be; just like her mother. During the song she comes across Kocoum(who had a very different personality at this time of the movie development). He askes her why she left the village without telling him. Pocahontas tells him that she was only at the river. Kocoum then askes her "how am I supposed to protect my wife if I don't know where she is." She responds that she isn't his wife yet, and he tells her that will soon be different. He leads her to the house (and roughly throws Meeko outside). He shows her the house he had just finished building and tells her he will always keep her safe and protect her.
