Original production animation drawing of Pocahontas in graphite and red pencils from "Pocahontas," 1995, Walt Disney Studios; Numbered P37 lower right; Animation ladder upper right; Size - Pocahontas: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2", Sheet 12 1/2 x 17"; Unframed.
"Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?" - Pocahontas
The stand out scene of the film is when Pocahontas sings "Colors of the Wind;" which explains to one of the new settlers, John Smith, the beauty and importance of the nature and how to show respect for the planet. "Colors of the Wind" was composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and won the 1995 Oscar for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe in the same category, and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Movie. The song is absolutely beautiful and represents the Native American viewpoint that the Earth is a living entity, and that mankind is connected to everything in nature. Due to the the song's popularity, many versions exist, it has been covered by multiple artists, and translated into many languages.
This is an absolutely perfect original production animation drawing of Pocahontas from the highlight of the film, when she is singing the Grammy Award winning "Color of the Wind." She stands over six inches tall, her hands and arms are outstretched, and her hair and the bottom of her dress are being blown around by the red pencil drawn wind. A beautiful piece and a great addition to any animation art collection!
