Disney's Pocahontas is a platform game based on the 1995 film of the same name. The Genesis / Mega Drive version was developed by Funcom on contract with Disney and was released on January 1, 1996. It was followed by a later version for the Game Boy developed by Tiertex Design Studios and released on June 10, 1996, nearly a year after the film's premiere. A Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game was under development, but was canceled due to development being too far behind to coincide with the Genesis release.[2]

The Genesis version was moderately well received by critics. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly criticized the controls but praised the graphics and especially the innovative and challenging puzzle design.[5] GamePro, in contrast, found the puzzles to be easy and uninteresting, but felt this was appropriate for the game's young target audience and also praised the graphics.[6]
