Behind the Colors of the Wind

Interviews with the cast of Disney's Pocahontas.

Brought to you by Sophie Moore and Robin Bates!

Q: What was the funniest thing that happened in your eyes while filming?

Pocahontas: Well, we had to do a few shots of the scene where John fell out of the tree.

John: What? It wasn't my fault.

Pocahontas: You were knocked out cold!

John: Only three times.

Pocahontas: Good enough.

Thomas: When I was supposed to fire the gun, I missed my target and hit a tree in the forest. I couldn't get that aim right no matter what I did!

John: You only missed ten times, Thomas. It could have been worse.

Thomas: How?

John: You could have Grandmother Willow. She wouldn't have liked that.

Thomas: I see your point.

Q: Were there any other mishaps or line screw ups?

Pocahontas: Are you kidding? There were tons! We finally just got rid of the script and said whatever came to mind at the time.

Flashback

Pocahontas: No, I'm not going to IHOP. I don't care how good their pancakes are.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

John: I don't wanna be jerky!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas: Is that order for here or to go?

End Flashback

Thomas: -looking at John- When did you say 'I don't wanna be jerky' on set?

John: -shrugs- When I fell out of the tree. Someone had put a rock directly where I was supposed to land.

Lon: Hey, where was I supposed to put the extras from the 'Mine, Mine, Mine' scene? The storage locker was locked and that area didn't look like it was being used…

Pocahontas: Whatever, next question please!

Q: What was it like working with animals who can't speak?

Pocahontas: Who said they couldn't speak?

Thomas: -shudders- Yeah, they talk…a lot! Meeko is always after me to go get him a coffee because he is too short to reach the counter….

John: Flit is the worst in my book. He's always humming and singing along to every song that comes on the radio when we're on break. And then, he keeps doing it when we are filming! I mean, it's not so bad during break, but on set-

Pocahontas: Uh…John? Flit is a hummingbird. That's the noise their wings make….

John: Oh… I knew that. I was trying to make people laugh.

Thomas: You? Making people laugh? Ha! –Breaks out laughing–

John: See?

All: If you have any questions for us, put them in a review to Robin and Sophie! See you then!
