Movies that feel likePocahontas (1995)

Pocahontas, daughter of a Native American tribe chief, falls in love with an English soldier as colonists invade 17th century Virginia.

If you loved Pocahontas, the closest films we have are The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998), The Princess and the Frog (2009) and Tarzan (1999). All three share Pocahontas' warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Robin Hood (1973).
