Pocahontas was the first entire movie based of an adult female and of someone of color. This was also Disney's first film about a real person from history. Without Pocahontas there is a chance that there might not be an Elsa, Rapunzel, Merida, or Tiana because she was the turning point for Disney heroine for female characters. Pocahontas was made during the Disney Renaissance time period which was between 1989 to 1999. During this time Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to making more musical animated films that were mostly based on well known stores and turned in to a power house success at the domestic and foreign box offices.

  Kane Brown & Becky G          I have found that I don't tend to like remixes to songs so very much because I find that the original just  tends to sound better, at least to me. However, it seems that I have found a song that I enjoy the remix  version so much more than the original. That isn't to say I don't like the original song because I do, but  the remix just speaks to me more on so many more levels.
