Original production animation drawing of Pocahontas in graphite and brown pencils from "Pocahontas," 1995, Walt Disney Studios; Numbered 27 lower right; Size - Pocahontas: 7 1/4 x 9", Sheet 11 3/4 x 17"; Unframed.
"Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?" - Pocahontas
One of the great scenes 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 spectacular original production animation drawing of Pocahontas from when she first encounters John Smith. She is a very large nine inches long drawing accomplished in graphite and brown pencils, eyes open, and her hair is blowing in the misty wind. A perfect image and a great addition to any animation art collection!
