Re: Problematic kid's movies you still love (inspired by #8)

I recently rewatched it on Netflix and I love Pocahontas so much. It's just an awful representation of her story in every fucking way, but she and John Smith's romance makes me melt every time and "Savages" is one of my favorite Disney songs. I can't defend it, I just can't deny it, either.

My mom pretty much raised me on Disney movies, and while I can never let her hear me say this, I still have a soft spot for quite a few of them, most prominently Pocahontas and Mulan.

I tend to look at those movies as a 'step in the right direction' - yes, there were a lot of stereotypes involved, but these cultures that had historically been presented in Western media as nothing more than caricatures were being shown as something with complexity and history, and not something that needed to be civilized by white culture. Not perfect, not even close, but certainly a step forward in the way we want to go - and that's before the fact that these movies were also great for encouraging female agency.
