A lighthearted romp, whitewashing genocide for the whole family

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2010)

And let's not forget, glamorizing pedophilia! After all, that's what Smith would've been had this "relationship" actually happened.
Matoaka (Pocahontas): Hollywood vs. Reality
Hollywood: Pocahontas is in her late teens/early twenties. Reality: Matoaka was from seven to twelve years old.
H: Asian eyes, a miniskirt, and a supermodel's body. R:Described as a pudgy kid who went nude.
H: John Smith is in his early twenties w/Fabio-style hair and had the voice of Mel Gibson. R: Smith was in his mid thirties, dressed in high collared suits, had cropped hair, and was "preachy."
H: Pocahontas saves Smith. R: Never happened. Smith lied 17 yrs later.
H: Pocahontas rejects a Native, Kocoum, falling for Smith. R: Pocahontas married Kocoum, had a child by him, & despised Smith.
Yes, you read that right. The whole Romeo and Juliet BS at the heart of the film is nonsense! IRL, Pocahontas preferred the Native man to the white stranger.
So this film has an ugly racist message at its heart:
That white men are superior to nonwhite men. That nonwhite females should reject them because males of their own background are not good enough. Instead, throw yourself at the first white guy you see, without knowing a thing about him.
Of course, ALL of Disney's messages to young girls are terrible. But this one is especially bad.
Oh yeah, the music sucks, just like all the nusic in Disney films.
And shame on the Native actors for letting themselves get used in this racist travesty.
