Pocahontas (character)
Pocahontas is the titular character of Walt Disney Pictures' 33rd animated feature film ''Pocahontas'' (1995).

She is, however, a Chieftain's daughter, which can arguably be the equivalent of a princess. Pocahontas, as the daughter of a Native American Tsenacommacah-paramount chief of the Powhatan paramountcy, is the first American Disney Princess. In Disney's animated 1995 film of the same name, she is voiced by Native American actress Irene Bedard, who was also one of the physical models for the character, and her singing vocals were performed by Broadway singer Judy Kuhn. Pocahontas is the seventh member of the Disney Princess line-up. Dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
