Pocahontas (1995)

Please don't send asks/messages about whether or not it's okay for you to enjoy Disney's Pocahontas. It's not. Make peace with that or don't. I'd rather you put more energy into talking about the actual harm the film did as opposed to how "important" it was to you.

With all the historical inaccuracies that both movies have, it’s a little surprising that Don Bluth’s Anastasia ended up being remembered more fondly than Disney’s Pocahontas…not that I have a problem with that, because Anastasia is a fantastic movie. I’m just saying it’s kinda funny how that works.

Here's a random take on Disney's Pocahontas 2 that nobody asked for...Pocahontas is a stronger figure in the sequel.

-She's the only person keeping peace between her people and the settlers.

-She saves a man from getting trampled by a horse (said man is ungrateful).

-She volunteers to travel over the ocean to a foreign land and society very different than hers.

-She doesn't give up trying to convince King James to listen to her, even though she keeps facing opposition.

-She is open and eager to learning all the rules and how to act in a foreign society.

-She physically disarms the jester from stabbing a captive bear then proceeds to reprimand the entire company at the King's hunt ball.

-She goes to jail to await her fate of execution.

-She decides her own fate instead of listening to the men who were arguing over what she should do.

-She sneaks into the royal palace and CONFRONTS the king; doing all this to save her people from slaughter and putting her own life in danger.

King James: Why do you speak out when so many doubt you, even when it could mean your life?

Pocahontas: Because I speak the truth.

-She's saves her people...again!

-She realizes her and John Smith aren't following the same path anymore and tells him she doesn't want what he wants anymore.

That concludes my take on Pocahontas being a stronger figure in the sequel.

I think all the symbols in the background are serving for the princesses who did not make the cut for this bag design

Came to the realization today that Disney's version of Pocahontas technically qualifies as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl

So we all know Disney's Pocahontas is incredibly inaccurate and many better people than I have torn it apart but one super specific piece of criticism keeps bothering me.

In the song Colors of the Wind they say "blue corn moon" and I've seen a few people be like "That's not even a real thing they're just saying vaguely indigenous sounding words". But like. Blue moons are a thing. The Corn moon is a thing. It's the full moon in November I think so a Blue Corn Moon is the second full moon in November.

An annual reminder that Disney knew that Pocahontas was a CHILD when she met John Smith and decided to age her up and go with a love story because they thought it would win them an Oscar.

Glen Keane insisted in an interview that "she has to be sexy."

I plug this post in the video, but just to make it easier - How Do You Solve a Problem Like Pocahontas? - a neat breakdown and retooling of the film’s story.
