Animated Storybook

The Pocahontas Animated Storybook is a PC Video Game released on December 1, 1995.

## Description

Players can read through and interact with the story as Pocahontas and her friends, Meeko and Flit, befriend Englishman John Smith and seek to prevent a war between the Powhatans and the English. The story is narrated by Grandmother Willow. The game starts at the homebase: The Enchanted Glade where the player is greeted by Grandmother Willow who, with help from Flit, goes through the different options on the menu. The player can choose different options of how to read the story with or without the option of interaction on each page. The player can also choose to go straight to a certain part of the story that is their favorite or to pick up where they left off or to play one of the four available games. There's also a help button to learn how to use the options bar at the bottom of the screen and an exit button when the player is ready to leave. The task bar is present while the player reads the story at the bottom. It includes a forward button, backward button, game button, dictionary button, home button, help button, and exit button. The forward and backward button help the player to navigate through the story. The game button, applicable on certain pages, takes the player to a corresponding game to play where another character will instruct them how to play. The dictionary button highlights certain words from the reading that can be clicked on; Grandmother Willow then pronounces the word and defines it where it is often accompanied by a clickable feature that demonstrates the definition. The home button takes the player back to the Enchanted Glade. The help button instructs the player how to use the taskbar. The exit button allows the player to leave the game. On each page, the player can interact with different clickable objects and characters, have words defined, play games, and have certain parts of the readings repeated.

## Trivia

* Unlike the film, Pocahontas' mother's necklace does not get broken.
* Jim Cummings replaces Russell Means as Chief Powhatan and Gordon Tootoosis as Kekata (Cummings was previously the singing voice for the aforementioned characters), and Corey Burton replaces Mel Gibson as John Smith.
* Nakoma is not seen or mentioned in the story.
* Wiggins acts as the player's guide in Percy's Hide and Seek game with Meeko on the Susan Constant on page three.
* Violence involving the English settlers who were led by the greedy governor Ratcliffe aren't fighting the Indians from the Powhatan tribe until someone shouts out, "Savages" which occurs after the player/user clicks on the arrow with the computer mouse that goes to the right on behalf of moving on with the story about Pocahontas isn't seen at all. This means that it's offstage.
* Violence also involving Captain John Smith and Kocoum with Thomas carrying his musket in the corner of Grandmother Willow's glade isn't seen, either. It's mentioned inside and it's also offstage.
