1. Pocahontas And Flit Coloring Sheet
The story of Pocahontas is at times dark and serious, so some animal friends were added to lighten the mood. Flit the hummingbird is one of them, and joins Pocahontas for a fun pose. There was originally going to be a turkey character voiced by legendary comedian John Candy, but sadly he passed away before completing his lines, so the character wasn’t included in the end.
