Governor Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers, 1995-2012, Pocahontas) TTS Computer AI Voice

Governor John Ratcliffe is the main antagonist of Disney's 33rd full-length animated feature film Pocahontas and its direct-to-video sequel Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (which is based on the life and legend of the Native American woman of the same name).

He is very loosely based on the historical figure John Ratcliffe, though he really takes on the qualities of many of history's ambitious and morally dubious pioneers as well as the usual traits of a Disney villain (such as a love of power, snootiness, and a flair for the dramatic). In this portrayal, he is depicted as a greedy British governor of Virginia who wants to obtain the gold that's supposedly located at the Powhatan tribe's residence. He is the former governor-turned-archenemy of John Smith.

He was voiced by the late David Ogden Stiers, who also played Wiggins, his manservant, in the same film, as well as Zoltan in The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Dr. Jumba Jookiba in Lilo and Stitch, one of Satan's human guises in Touched by an Angel, the Penguin in Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, and Mr. Maellard in Regular Show.
