Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends is a delightful 12-minute show featuring a couple of characters from the 1995 Disney film, although it is not a recreation of the film. Like the movie, conservation is the show's message as Pocahontas hears her forest being cut down around her. She goes to the wise old tree, Grandmother Willow, for help. She tells Pocahontas that there is only one creature of the forest who has the power to protect it, but which one? As Pocahontas and another one of her tree friends, a small sapling, puzzle over the mysterious creature, they encounter various animals from her great forest. Racoons, mice, rabbits, possums, porcupines, skunks, and even snakes wander across the stage at various times throughout the performance, greatly adding to the forest atmosphere that the beautiful set already evokes. After a few verses of the Pocahontas song "Colours of the Wind", she realizes that the one creature who has the power to protect the forest is us.
