• Pocahontas Audio Commentary: Producer James Pentecost and co-directors Eric Goldberg and Mike Gabriel host a discussion more akin to a measured defense of their film than a traditional commentary, but the trio effectively pull back the curtain on the first film, covering everything from the balance they struck between the historical and the fictional to the many difficult decisions they made over the course of the film's development and production.
• Drawing Inspiration: The Lost Story of Hiawatha (HD, 12 minutes): Goldberg and animation historian Charles Solomon introduce the story of Walt Disney's Hiawatha, a long-lost animated feature film Disney and his team storyboarded and then shelved. The storyboards are presented here, as Goldberg narrates the story as it unfolds. It's a rare and invaluable glimpse into a Disney film that never came to be.
• Deleted Song, "If I Never Knew You" (HD, 5 minutes): Watch the deleted Pocahontas scene and song itself, or listen to optional commentary with Goldberg, Gabriel and Pentecost as the sequence plays.
• The Music of Pocahontas (SD, 7 minutes): A look at the music and songs of the first film, culled from the DVD.
• Deleted Scenes (SD, 15 minutes): Nine storyboarded scenes deleted from Pocahontas.
• Cartoon Short, "Little Hiawatha" (SD, 9 minutes): A Walt Disney Silly Symphony from 1937.
• Disney's Virtual Vault (SD): The Virtual Vault wasn't accessible to me yet, but if it follows in the paths of previous Virtual Vaults, additional featurettes and extras from the original DVDs will be available via BD-Live.
