Grandmother Willow doesn't appear for the rest of the film but is referenced near the end when Pocahontas brings the injured John medicine made from Grandmother Willow's bark, which is supposed to help with his pains.A wonderful way to welcome babies to the family is to celebrate the special “titles” that are created when new baby arrives! Grandmother Willow appears at Disney's Animal Kingdom in the Song of the Rainforest binaural sound show at Conservation Station, located at Rafiki's Planet Watch and in the former Pocahontas and her Forest Friends show at Camp Minnie-Mickey. First, she appears in " Jiminy Cricket", when Jiminy Cricket mentions that the audience should "respect [their] elders". She then scares Ben and Lon off, first by intentionally tripping them by lifting her roots, then by whipping them with her vines.

Jeffrey Katzenberg initially objected to the character, but added humor in the form of various tree puns ended up winning him over.

Later, when Pocahontas is in London, Pocahontas sees the trees and sings that Grandmother Willow would just love them.
