“*Pocahontas knows she's a princess and she* wants *to be a princess, and it shows in her expression. There's a confidence in her face and she's really unique that way.*”
―Glen Keane
**Pocahontas** is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1995 animated feature film, *Pocahontas.* The daughter of the Powhatan chief, Pocahontas is a free-spirited girl with a curious mind and open heart, ready to see what adventures lie in store for her.

She was released with the first wave of the Animators' Collection, and has received multiple updates throughout the years. Her fifth edition remains available for purchase.

## Doll Description

### First Edition

Released in 2011, Pocahontas has a medium skintone and brown eyes, looking up and center. She has pink lips, frowning, and long, straight black hair reaching to the top of her legs. Her eyebrows are lowered, giving her a contemplative look. Her expression was described by Glen Keane as "confident."

Pocahontas wears a dress of brown faux deerskin, imitating the fashion of the Powhatan tribe at the time; it also include brown tendrils on the bottom and neckline. She also wears an imiation of her mother's necklace, made with a blue ribbon and golden gem.

Her companion is Meeko, a small raccoon. He is colored in varying shades of grey, with small black eyes.

### Second Edition

Released in 2013, Pocahontas's eyebrows were darkened and raised, with her eyes more centered, making her look like she's looking ahead. Her hair was also pushed back. Her outfit was not changed, but Meeko was removed.

### Third Edition

Released in 2014, Pocahontas's skin was darkened and her hair shortened, though her outfit remained the same. Meeko was returned to her.

### Fourth Edition

Released in 2019, Pocahontas's skin and lips were lightened and her hair styled in two braids. Her outfit (aside from the tendrils) was darkened as well, with a lighter line down the center and blue embroidery across the collar. Meeko was redesigned to show his eyes and smile more, and he is holding his hands in front of his own tail.

### Fifth Edition

Released in 2021, Pocahontas's fifth design is nearly identical to the fourth, though her skin is darkened slightly and her hair unbraided.

### Special Edition

Released February 1 2020, Pocahontas was "envisioned as a spirited Native American Princess who painted with all the colors of the wind."

Pocahontas's limited edition design featured the same face and hair, but with a brown braided headband decorated with an orange felt feather. She wore a plastic version of her mother's necklace, as well as a brown-and-orange dress, with light brown trim around the shoulders and skirt and a small braided rope tied around the waist. Above the bottom skirt trim are small blue faux gems. Unlike her other designs, Pocahontas was given shoes- brown moccasins with blue gemstones. She also had a removable embroidered cape, colored in blue and brown.

Pocahontas's dress was also decorated with leaves, shifting from orange to blue. When pressed, the leaves would light up in a falling pattern.
