Disney's Pocahontas vs. Reality Pocahontas
The tale of Pocahontas has been told many times. But one time, it was made by none other than Walt Disney himself. Walt Disney created this film but left one thing out of mind...this is history not some fairy tale! Here are a few reasons of how he went wrong. -Smith was said to be dirty and mean but in the movie he was handsome and everyone adored him -Pocahontas married Kocoum in real life but not in the movie -In real life, Smith went back to England because he was wounded by gun powder that exploded -In real life, Pocahontas is 12, but in the movie she seems to be at least a late teen -In the movie it makes it seem like the English were the good guys, but it really was the other way around -In real life, the English didn't have a governer -Pocahontas and John Smith fell in love AFTER Pocahontas saved him from his execution in real life -In real life, John Smith was arrested on the voyage

So there are a few things that Mr. Walt Disney left out of the movie, which leaves it with nothing more than just a plain old fairy tale thats not true at all. Little kids who watch this will think that that's what really happened back then, but it's not. My opinion is that if Walt Disney wanted to make a fairy tale about Native Americans, why didn't he just make it all up instead of transforming important history into myth? Not only the Powhaton people are offended by it, I am too. If you haven't watched the movie Pocahontas yet, don't. Instead, I suggest you read your textbook instead, that is, if you want to know the REAL facts.
