Disney's adaptation of the historical story of the Native Princess

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2008)

Here is another underrated and also unappreciated classic from Disney, which became another favorite of mine. The film was based on the known facts of the historical story of the Indian princess Pocahontas and the folklore and legend that surround her. In particular, it presents a highly emotionally charged and dramatic account of the meeting between her and John Smith.
This film is also the first Disney film to be based on a real historic character; although there are no suggestions in any of the historical records that Smith and Pocahontas were ever lovers, this romantic version of the story appears only in fictionalized versions of their relationship. But I do love Disney's take on them, and they had become one of my favorite Disney couples...though I don't want to change history.
Admittedly speaking, I don't have a favorite scene, because I love the WHOLE film from beginning to end. And you know something isn't ironic that the gay servant actually knows why the natives attack the settlers.
