Pocahontas, princess of the Powhatan tribe, is the title character
of the movie. Like many animated heroines, she's uncertain about
the path of her life and feels that there's something greater waiting for her. She's vibrant, full of life and is filled with an incredible passion for
the things she loves, so much so that she's able to make an narrow-minded
explorer see the world in a completely new way. voiced by Irene Bedard,
sung by Judy Kuhn |

John Smith is destined to cross paths with Pocahontas in a meeting that'll
change their lives and the lives of the people around them. Initially
John seems a typical ignorant English explorer,
but he soon proves that observation wrong he opens his mind to the wonders of the world.
He's brave, a little crazy and capable of great love. voiced by
Mel Gibson |

|
Governer John Ratcliffe is a nasty not-so-little man who represents everything bad
there is about the English explorers. He's focused on his own glory by obtaining the
supposed "mountains
of gold" buried in Virginia, and is willing to do anything, including slaughtering
hundreds of supposed heathens, to get what he wants. voiced by David
Ogden Stiers |
|
|
Chief Powhatan is Pocahontas' father and leader of the Powhatan tribe.
He's a kind and wise man, but when put into situations that require
fierce leadership, he's there to give it. He will do what it takes to protect
his people. voiced by Russell
Means, sung by Jim Cummings |
|
|
Grandmother Willow is a mythical tree spirit that watches over
Pocahontas as well as many others before her. She's always a willing ear whenever Pocahontas
needs one, and tends to have the right piece of advice to guide
Pocahontas along her path. voiced by Linda Hunt |
|
|
Meeko is a mischievous raccoon and Pocahontas' friend.
He seems to be eating most of the time, and when he's not, he's
making trouble. He thinks himself something of an adventurer, and for an
animal, he's quite intelligent in making out the right and wrong of the
events occurring around him. Oh, and he twists a mean braid. voiced by John
Kassir |
 |
|
Flit the hummingbird is Pocahontas' other animal friend, but unlike
Meeko he prefers it when Pocahontas is not getting
into all sorts of trouble. He adds to the traditionalist
side (alongside Powhatan and Nakoma) who wish for Pocahontas to
follow the path that is expected of her. voiced by Frank Welker |
 |
|
Nakoma is Pocahontas' well-meaning best friend who seems to be the
only other person of their tribe that gets along with the free-spirited
princess. She's more grounded than Pocahontas, but that's a good thing,
because she's there to anchor Pocahontas and sometimes serve as her conscience.

|
Thomas, the red-head cutie and one of the youngest (if not the
youngest) of the English explorers. He befriends John Smith early on,
and because it's his first expedition, he's somewhat naïve
but has to learn to ropes pretty quickly. Personally, I
can see this guy turning out to be a great leader not too long after the
events of the movie. voiced by Christian Bale |
|
|
Percy is Governor Ratcliffe's spoilt pug dog who serves as a symbolic
adversary against Meeko. He's not all that bad, really. voiced by Danny
Mann |
|
Kocoum is the bravest of the Powhatan warriors and quite possibly the most serious.
Chief Powhatan is proud of the young man and is greatly honoured by his proposal for
Pocahontas' hand in marriage.
voiced by James Apaumut Fall |
|
Wiggins is Governor Ratcliffe's enthusiastic manservant who loves his
job. On the surface Wiggins appears to be unaware of the seriousness of the
situation of the English explorers vs Native Americans, but he is much
smarter than he lets on. voiced by David
Ogden Stiers |
|
|
Kekata is a the wise man (or medicine man) of the Powhatan tribe. He
confirmed the arrival of the White Men to their land, and it was he who
saw the darkness that the explorers brought with them. voiced by Gordon
Tootoosis |
|
Ben is one of the English explorers, and he's almost always constantly
around Lon, another English explorer. He's the one with the the
unmistakable Scottish accent. voiced by David
Connolly |
|
|
Lon is another one of the English explorers, and he tends to hang around
with Ben. voiced by Joe Baker |
