Guess you could call this a Flitscuit.
- From the first few minutes, after John rescues Thomas on the voyage to America:Lon: Well done, Smith!
John: Of course. You'd all do the same for me.
Ben, Lon, and random crewmember: [beat, then awkwardly] Oh, sure! Of course we would! Absolutely! - Nakoma's reaction to Pocahontas jumping off a cliff. And when Pocahontas hits the water she grumpily says "show off".Nakoma: Pocahontas, your father's back! Come down here! [as Pocahontas dives off the top of the cliff] NO, not that ... way.
- Then, when she can't find Pocahontas in the water...
Nakoma: Pocahontas? Are you all right? Well, you'd better be all right, because I'm not coming in after—(Pocahontas surfaces from the water and overturns the canoe) YOU! [cut to both of them under the canoe; Nakoma surfaces and coughs] Don't you think we're getting -*cough*- a little old for these games?
[Pocahontas spits water in her face. They laugh and splash each other.] - Meeko, when he jumps down the cliff after Pocahontas. He goes from confident to REALLY scared in a second when he realizes too little too late that he can't swim, and then Flit flies down to his level and chews him out. Meeko’s response? Grabs Flit and tries to hitch a ride on the little bird to save him from the fall. It fails.
- Flit jumps out of the water and gaps for air, glaring at Meeko while he struggles to get on the canoe. Then Flit just so happens to notice that Meeko’s tail resembles a target, and happily dashed in to hit a bullseye. But he hits the canoe just as Meeko falls back in the water. Then Pocahontas asks Nakoma to help her lift the canoe over, not realizing Flit is still stuck.
- When it is announced Pocahontas is engaged to Kocoum, Flit nods in approval. Meeko, on the other hand, just gags in disgust.
- Flit is not to happy when Meeko mockingly imitates Kocoum. So he pokes his belly, but Meeko falls over Flit and a pot while falling in Pocahontas arms. But Flit emerges from the crushed pot, via cuckoo clock.
- Meeko's expressions while Pocahontas is singing "Just Around the Riverbend", especially when she goes down the waterfall. But Flit? He just ecstatically flies down!
- Grandmother Willow is happy that Pocahontas has a dream and wants to listen, but at that instant, all the woodland critters LOUDLY chatter at the same time. Her response?Grandmother Willow: Quiet! (a squirrel then crawls over her face. She blows it away.) QUIET!!!
- Naturally, all the animals immediately shut up, except for a frog who croaks in response. Cue Death Glare from the living tree herself. The frog gets the message, worriedly gulps, and hides under a lily pad.
- How about the surprised look that Grandmother Willow wore when a squirrel randomly crawls on her face, on her first attempt at a Big "SHUT UP!"? No wonder her second attempt needed more force and less patience.
- This little exchange:Wiggins: Do you think we'll meet some savages?
Ratcliffe: If we do, we shall be sure to give them a proper English greeting.
Wiggins: OOH! Gift baskets!- "And he came so highly recommended."
- An alternate scene has Wiggins saying, "Ooh! I do so love a fracas!" He mimics shooting a gun with a soup ladle, until he trips and an axe barely misses him, before Ratcliffe says the above line.
- Even funnier- in this alternate take, the axe was mere inches away from Wiggins' balls. For a split second, he looks absolutely terrified and can only chuckle nervously.
- "And he came so highly recommended."
- When John approaches the bush where Pocahontas is hidden, Flit angrily flies out and attacks him. As John dodges his pecks, the rest of the biscuits fall from his sack and Meeko eats them all.John: Hey! Wh— What? Watch out. What? Get— No. get— Uh, look out...
- Meeko is just too cute as he munches down every last bite as the crumbs fall off. Then he eats up all the fallen crumbs, then looks in John's direction as if he's thinking about getting more. Big Eater at its finest!
- How about the way that Flit proudly puffs up his chest as Pocahontas smirks for her little bird chasing off John?
- Percy vs. Meeko, Round 1: Percy is taking a bubble bath and enjoying a bowl of cherries. Just as he's about to put one in his mouth, Meeko falls through the window into the bath, splashing Percy and giving him a bubble hat with the cherry on top, much to his annoyance. He looks around for the perpetrator, then sees Meeko's smiling, distorted face through a huge bubble. Meeko pops it in his face, gives him a finger-wave, grabs the cherry as if to eat it, then puts it in Percy's open mouth instead. He dumps the bowl of cherries directly into his gaping maw, spilling a couple, gives a brief smile with his mouth full, turns to leave, then stops and takes the cherry from Percy's mouth and puts it with the rest. He runs out the door and down the gangplank with Percy chasing him, then swings on a pulley up to a tree, and Percy trips and tumbles all the way down to slide face-first through the mud.
- Meeko and Flit's reaction to Pocahontas suddenly managing to learn English.
- When John Smith is trying to show Pocahontas what a handshake is. He has his hand held out, and the expression on her face as she says "Nothing's happening" is priceless. Or that Meeko thought he had food and excitedly grabs his hand, then pouts when he sees no food John has on him.
- When Meeko steals the compass (mistaking it for food).Pocahontas: Meeko!
John [shrugs] It's all right, he can't hurt it. [Meeko bangs it against a rock] Hey! - John accidentally offending Pocahontas and trying to stop her from rowing her canoe away - so she climbs the tree to get away from him.
- His Digging Yourself Deeper, trying to say 'savage' is just a word for people who are uncivilized. The fact that Pocahontas delivers her line "like me?" while hanging upside down from a tree branch makes it even better.
- This dialogue.Lon: Come on, Ben, it's just a little fun.
Ben: Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun, right? Look at us—no gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day, happy as a clam.
[Cut to Ratcliffe]
Ratcliffe: I'm doomed! - Most of Wiggins and Ratcliffe's exchanges, but this one in particular:Ratcliffe: Wiggins, why do you think those insolent heathens attacked us?
Wiggins: Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth? note - Percy vs. Meeko, Round 2: Percy is lazily enjoying biscuits that are swinging from a spinning carousel, but after the first one, finds only the loose ribbons. Pull back to reveal Meeko atop the carousel, happily spinning 'round whilst stuffing biscuits into his mouth. Percy gets in his face and bares teeth, and Meeko just grins and scratches Percy's chin before taking off. Percy gives chase, running past a moose which appears to be wearing a coonskin cap. Meeko uncurls himself to head in the opposite direction from Meeko, then stops and sticks a biscuit in the moose's mouth, apparently as payment. The moose just rolls his eyes.
- Flit's constant attempts to peck at John, which annoy him. On the final attempt to peck him, John was prepared and traps Flit's beak in hardtack (as pictured above), which he then tosses. The indignant hummingbird then makes the mistake of looking upwards while the hardtack was still stabbed into his beak, causing it to slide down and crush him under the weight.
- And when Pocahontas formally introduces them, John snarks "I remember you."
- John Smith's first meeting with Grandmother Willow.John: Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
Pocahontas: Then you should talk back.
Grandmother Willow: Don't be frightened, young man. My bark is worse than my bite.
[cue two owls exchanging glances. One confused, the other snarky.]
Pocahontas: Say something.
John: What do you say to a tree?
Pocahontas: Anything you want. - Grandmother Willow's scene with John Smith.Grandmother Willow: [on John Smith] He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.
John: I like her. - And this dialogue between Ratcliffe, Ben, and Lon.Ratcliffe: You there, where's Captain Smith?
Lon: Well, he's...gone.
Ben: Aye, your singing must've scared him off.
Ratcliffe: Well, then go get him, for heaven's sake!
Lon: What if we run into the Indians?
Ratcliffe: That's what guns are for! Now, arm yourselves and get moving! - Ben and Lon when Grandmother Willow hides John and Pocahontas from view.(Grandmother Willow lifts her root and trips Ben and Lon)
Ben: Watch your feet, ya big oaf!
Lon: It wasn't me! It was the tree!
Ben: Oh, of course! The tree just felt like liftin' its roots and– (They turn to see the root lower itself into the ground. They are clearly freaked out) Let's Get Out of Here!
(Grandmother Willow slaps Ben and Lon in the butts with her vines)
Both: OW!
Ben: RUN!
Lon: But what about Smith?
Ben: He's a big lad! He can take care of himself! - When John shows the fellow settlers the corn, they ask what it is.
- Percy vs. Meeko, Round 3: Short, but sweet. Meeko looks at Flit, and his face lights up as he has a brainstorm; he grabs Flit and uses him as a sword to fend off Percy, even while hanging from a vine like a classic swashbuckler before scurrying out of reach. Finally, Grandmother Willow manifests to yell, "All right, that's enough!" Percy yelps and goes into a dead faint.
- What kick started their final fight? Meeko giving a quick smile at Percy as he’s held upside down by John, who proceeded to viciously bark and charge at him.
- What inspired Meeko to use Flit as his own sword? Seeing Flit point and laugh at his predicament. Until he’s used as a sword, then tossed aside as Meeko makes his escape.
- How about the way Percy’s sudden shock at witnessing Grandmother Willow coming to life just to get him to stop the ruckus? First, his curly tail shoots straight up, then Faints in Shock into the water while making a creaking sound. Grandmother Willow then pulls Percy back up by using a vine to grab him by the tail.
- The settlers are somber as they prepare for John's transport back to England, but Ben cracks a small grin as he says, "Just loading the last bit of cargo," thumbing over his shoulder at a chained and gagged Ratcliffe being tossed into a boat.
- The deleted song "Dancing to the Wedding Drum" has Pocahontas wanting to go to her father's house to haggle with him about her Arranged Marriage. She plans to go quietly, but ends up walking into a gigantic Crowd Song of a wedding celebration. The storyboarded Oh, Crap! expression Pocahontas's face makes the scene.
