Welcome to the 34th episode of The Castle Vault! In this week’s journey exploring the famed Disney Vault through the Disney Plus streaming service, we paint with all of the colors of the wind for … Pocahontas!

In this episode, we discuss the polarizing 1995 film, Pocahontas! 25 years after this film was released, it’s easy to point out its flaws and problems, because hindsight is always easier. This film is controversial in many different aspects, but it definitely has some good bones to it, and lots to love. But where will it land on The Hierarchy? We also have all of our fun segments that we do weekly, including another incredible World of Color Brain round and the next installment of Chillin’ Like a Villain!
