Even though this movie isn't based on actual history itself, it's still a great movie to watch. One thing I love about this movie is it's got drama in it.
I remember this movie and it's on Disney plus. I also remember watching it in school. But I think this movie is nice. My favorite songs in this movie are Just around the Riverbend and Colors of the Wind.
Pocahontas launched the tobacco industry, true story. Pocahontas was stolen from her home as a bargaining tool, again true. Pocahontas was forced into Christianity, so in what way was her true story less dramatic than this fiction!? Why would the Great Russell Means applaud this? The music and art is pretty, so it’s a guilty pleasure for me but the real story is very important to history and teaches people not to control another people group and force religion on them.
I'm not here on a lesson in political correctness I'm here to know the reasons behind the design like colour scheme choices and who the characters images are based on, stuff like that. Alternate endings and story decisions. Beauty and the beast has one of the best "makings of" and its older footage. Something like that please! oh well, too late.
Sorry, Mr. Keene, I respect your work, but don't make a point of talking about how you explored the actual landscape and site if you were just going to redesign it to your own imagination anyway. It's the James River, not the Amazon. It's swampy and marshy, and there are NO majestic waterfalls and cliffs for dramatic dives. sigh
ugh this isn't fun, this is taking itself SO SERIOUSLY (I have watched nearly all the makings of via my disney dvds, being an artist myself). I don't like her soft kid-glove voice when talking. I feel like she is reading a picture book to 4 year olds, explaining every little simple thing, not speaking to the audience with respect nor entertaining us. It's not engaging and i just zone out. Adults & college students watch this stuff, not children. They tip toe around everything.
