Honestly, I think the movie as a whole had an amazing score overall. Which is why a little part of me is sad that it doesn't get more love. [Yes, I understand that problematic parts of it - but that doesn't mean I don't think the score is amazing]

I love the movie. I acknowledge the problematic elements and don't defend them, but I still love the film.

I love it too, despite the flaws. I think I give it a bit more leeway given that the source material for the Pocahontas story, namely the account of one John Smith, is probably as close to reality as any fairy tale to begin with, which makes general historical accuracy less necessary.

Personally, I never considered it much of a fairy tale, particularly since she was literally used to show an example of what a 'civilized savage' looked like...So she wasn't even completely considered a human being at the time. It doesn't help that there is a case that can be made for John Smith making up the whole incident of being saved by her.

Of course, that's just me - and it just annoys my inner history buff so XD;;

I don't consider it a fairy tale. I meant exactly what you just said, that the whole story is quite likely fictional, even if it did involve real people. So the story of Pocahontas could be considered as true as the story of Ariel or Belle.

Me too. I'm from a country where we don't teach about Pocahontas until university level (and that's only if you're doing american studies) so I didn't know it was wrong or even real. I just really liked the story and always admired Pocahontas because she followed her dreams. And I liked that it didn't end happily ever after like other Disney movies I've seen.

But then again, I'm probably a weird disney fan. I love Atlantis as well. :D
