For the first time
Pocahontas and Pocahontas II: Journey To A New World are available together in Two-Movie Collection Blu-Ray Combo Pack. This Disney release is so vivid and beautiful that you can actually see the Colors of the Wind throughout the movies!
The first musical tells the forbidden love story of an Indian Chief’s daughter Pocahontas and British Captain John Smith back in the early 1600’s. Although everything says they should not be together, they find a way to be with each other. But how long can it last since they come from such different worlds. Their love is sweet music just like the songs in the film.
Pocahontas II: Journey To A New World takes place years after the first one and Pocahontas is mourning the death of John Smith. Due to a misunderstanding she is sent to England in order to keep peace between her people and John Smith’s. While she is there she explores this new land and she in invited to a ball by the King. While she is at the dance, she will see someone that will have seeing all the colors of the wind.
The legendary story is a timeless classic thanks to Disney, and you will want to add these movies to your library to enjoy whenever you want.
Besides getting both movies you also get these special features:

What I really loved about the special features is learning how this musical came about and the drawing inspiration for it. When you watch The Lost Story of Hiawatha you see how Disney remains true to the brand it created 50 years before the movie.
