I understand why it bothers people. I like both Anastasia, and Disney's Pocahontas, but it is very see why people are offended by them. I just really don't think there is much anyone can do about it, or other movies like them.
I think the people who made them were able to get away with it because Anastasia, and Pocahontas weren't based on the actual historical people, but the legends that grew around them. For years there were rumors that Anastasia survived the murder of her family, and I'm pretty sure there is a lot of debate about whether Pocahontas and John Smith ever actually met before she married John Rolf.

Eh. I think they were able to get away with it because most of the audience simply does not care enough to get outraged over the fact that a cartoon movie is being made from someone's painful history.

Not really, about Pocahontas. She met Smith years before she met Rolfe - she knew Smith as a young girl growing up in her father's village, and she only met Rolfe after she was taken hostage in her later teens. I've actually never heard the idea put forth that she met Smith after she met Rolfe.

Had to go look it up. I think you are right. The debate is about weather she actually had to save his life or not. in the first version he wrote of the story his time with the Powhatan people was pleasant, after Pocahontas became a 'celebrity'(some sites even say he waited until after she died) Smith changes the story saying he only survived because of her intervention.
