I can't really watch Pocahontas because of that, too. My mom really disliked it and and made every effort to point out the historical ignorance (and she always mentioned John Rolfe, too) in the story every time the movie was brought up or we somehow caught it on TV.

Somehow, I'm thankful for her for that one, since it made me a lot more critical of movies based on historical figures.

Aww, I really loved Pocahontas as a kid. :-/ I still think it has some of the best music of any Disney movie. But even back then, I looked up information about the real historical figures and knew that the stuff in the movie wasn't accurate.

My dad hated the movie for the historical inaccuracies - but all I really understood was that he didn't like it and each time I saw it, I felt guilty for enjoying something inaccurate. (I am an extremely easy person to guilt trip, I could have been absent on a day we had a substitute teacher but would still feel guilty if my classmates misbehaved, so this wasn't a unique situation.)

I've appreciated his historical criticisms more as I grew older, but at the time my logic was Dad doesn't like the movie = this movie is bad = I shouldn't watch/like this movie.
