Talk:Pocahontas (film)/@comment-4487748-20140902131255

I have many gripes about TLM and the classic Disney films having rather weak main characters but by the 90's, after giving us the Lion King, I expected better. Sure, Pocahontas had beautiful animation and good songs. Yes, even higher rated movies have sanitized history but there are lines one must never cross. Pocahontas was twelve at the most when the Virginia Company landed. John Radcliffe wasn't even there for long. Smith was a short, portly man in his forties. This could have been a bond between a kid and an adult like Ralph and Vanellope. Sure, the historical Pocahontas was "in love" with Smith but Smith never forgot that she was a child. Next is te message. How many times have we heard this "Who is the real savage" story and when was a unique look taken on it? Never.
