Technically, Uttamatomakkin (or "Uti" for short) is Pochontas's bodyguard, assigned by Chief Powhatan to watch over Pocahontas, but it's John Rolfe's responsibility to bring her to England to see King James and Queen Anne. When Rolfe guards Pocahontas from the rough crew on the ship, he explains that he's "honor-bound" to protect her. This may have been when they began to fall in love.

''Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World'' is a 1998 DirectToVideo sequel to Disney's ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}''.
After the events of the first film, Governor Ratcliffe tries to manipulate King James to declare war on the Powhatan nation in the English colony after apparently having his soldiers kill John Smith during an arrest. Pocahontas travels to London to negotiate in her father's stead, and is confronted with a culture that is alien to her.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Pick any character in "What A Day In London".
* PimpedOutDress: Plenty, as it took place at a royal court.
* ThePlan: Ratcliffe pulls one right after "Things Are Not What They Appear" at the Hunt Ball feast.
* PreMortemOneLiner: A lot of John Smith's lines.
-->'''John Smith:''' ''[stops Ratcliffe from killing Pocahontas]'' Mind if I cut in?
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Almost word for word with John Smith.
* SecondLove: In ''Journey to a New World'', Pocahontas chooses Rolfe over Smith, claiming she doesn't feel the same way for Smith as she did years before.
* SequelNonEntity: All the ship's crew except John Smith.
* TheSilentBob: Uttamattomakkin.
* SlipknotPonytail: Pocahontas's elaborate updo for the Hunt Ball has come undone while she's in the Tower.
* SpotOfTea: In typical English fashion, Mrs. Jenkins puts on a cup of tea for every occasion. This is an anachronism, by the way. Tea wasn't introduced to England until about 1660.
* {{Tsundere}}: Pocahontas towards John Rolfe (at first).
* TheUnpronounceable: Uttamatomakkin (it was John Rolfe who started calling him "Uti").
* TookALevelInBadass: As stated above, John Smith. Though he also TookALevelInJerkass, acting more arrogant (which is actually closer to how he was historically).
** Also Ratcliffe. In the original movie, he was more of a greedy {{Jerkass}} than an actual BigBad, but in the sequel, he's a direct opponent of Pocahontas, who almost killed John Smith in the very first scene and manipulated the king to declare war on the Powhatan tribe.
* WomenAreWiser: The Queen is more calm and level-headed than King James. It's her who believes that there is no gold in Virginia at all.
