For this animated direct-to-video sequel to
Disney's 1995 animated
Pocahontas,
Irene Bedard returns to the title role -- with
Judy Kuhn once again providing Pocahontas' singing voice. The story starts in colonial Jamestown before
Pocahontas travels to England to meet with the king in hopes of preventing a British-Indian war. Her guide and companion is royal emissary John Rolfe (
Billy Zane). They are attracted to each other, but Pocahontas yearns for John Smith (
Donal Gibson, brother of
Mel Gibson). After a conflict with the evil Ratcliffe (
David Ogden Stiers), the missing Smith is presumed dead. Ratcliffe tells the king that the Jamestown Indians are savages, so
Pocahontas enters high society, hoping to prove otherwise by presenting a civilized appearance at the Royal Hunt Ball. Ratcliffe schemes to sabotage Pocahontas' plan. New songs by
Marty Panzer and
Larry Grossman include the closing-credits tune,
Between Two Worlds.
