Description[]
Follow the story of Disney's Pocahontas through the Pocahontas Animated StoryBook. Pocahontas, along with her friends Flit the hummingbird and Meeko the Raccoon help avert a war between the settlers and the Native American Indians. Pocahontas befriends the explorer John Smith and teaches him the great love her people have for the land.
But the settlers are afraid of the Indians, and soon, both sides have nearly come to blows. Pocahontas' great courage in shielding John Smith from execution by her father and then John Smith's throwing himself in front of the bullet meant for Powhatan, contrive to bring a sort of peace between the settlers and the Native Americans that lasts for many years.
The story is narrated by Grandmother Willow and includes four games players can play, either as part of the story, or separately.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the film, Pocahontas' mother's necklace does not get broken.
- Jim Cummings replaces Russell Means as Chief Powhatan and Gordon Tootoosis as Kekata (Cummings was previously the singing voice for the aforementioned characters), and Corey Burton replaces Mel Gibson as John Smith.
- Violence involving the English settlers who were led by the greedy governor Ratcliffe aren't fighting the Indians from the Powhatan tribe until someone shouts out, "Savages" which occurs after the player/user clicks on the arrow with the computer mouse that goes to the right on behalf of moving on with the story about Pocahontas isn't seen at all. This means that it's offstage.
- Violence also involving Captain John Smith and Kocoum with Thomas carrying his musket in the corner of Grandmother Willow's glade isn't seen, either. It's mentioned inside and it's also offstage.
