I do have a memory of seeing a Disney-sponsored magazine do an article on Pocahontas' life itself back then, so it is kind of nice that they did that.

At the same time I do feel like people have a point in not liking the movie for going by a false story for the movie. Why paint John Smith as a good guy at all if you know the real history paints him as kind of a dick? Why did they need to use his own name for the male lead? More kids would see the movie than would see the little blurb in the magazine. Kind of eh.

Pocahontas is still one of my favorite Disney princesses along with Belle and Jasmine, but knowing that Disney decided to use the tall tale spun by John Smith to make himself look good wasn't that great.
