* NeverSayDie: Pocahontas and her animal friends have to save Smith from being "hurt" by the Medicine Man and his minions. Armed with arrows and tomahawks, it looks like they might have more in mind than simply hurting him. Despite this, it's apparently okay for Squint to talk about "shooting" the natives. Hey, he didn't ''say'' that the shooting would be fatal!

If you think the title suggests that this is some kind of prequel to the traditional UsefulNotes/{{Pocahontas}} story, prepare to be disappointed. It's the usual story about her meeting John Smith, just with Pocahontas being at a more historically accurate age. As a consequence, their relationship is accurately portrayed as platonic. Don't get too excited. Those two details are pretty much the end of the historical accuracies, as this version features Pocahontas and her talking animal friends stopping an evil Medicine Man from sabotaging relations between the Powhatans and the English settlers.

!!Tropes:
* AnachronismStew: Just some lyrics from the Medicine Man's VillainSong:
-->''I am an artist with the paint\\
And this honey sticks so good\\
I will scare them 'til they faint\\
Why, I could do makeup in Hollywood!''
* AnimatedMusical: Like all UAV productions.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: How the natives dress, of course.
* EvilColonialist: John Smith's first mate, a diminutive pirate-looking character named Squint, acts like a stereotypical one, with Smith constantly attempting to correct his behavior.
* KarmaHoudini: While the Medicine Man is banished from the village at the end, Squint faces no punishment for his actions other than the minor ones Smith meted out to him over the course of the film.
* NeverSayDie: Pocahontas and her animal friends have to save Smith from being "hurt" by the Medicine Man and his minions. Armed with arrows and tomahawks, it looks like they might have more in mind than simply hurting him.
* NotHisSled: Pocahontas still saves John Smith from being executed ([[NeverSayDie or should that be "hurt"?]]) by the Powhatans, but instead of throwing herself on top of him, she does it by singing a song about racial tolerance.
* SpinoffBabies: The title is evidently meant to suggest this trope. In fact, Pocahontas' age is actually more historically accurate than usual.
* TipisAndTotemPoles: The Powhatans have ''totem poles'', which come from the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest.
* WritingLines: John Smith's recurring punishment for Squint.
