pocahontas; ruining your childhood

[Jiro]

Anastasia is probably the most ficticious portrayal of anything historical by Disney.

Honestly though, I don't associate anything Disney does with the historical events or personages. It's just fiction. Awesome fiction.

Also, The Little Mermaid throws herself into the sea while still in human form, disintegrates and dies, and has to remain in limbo for 200 years before she's allowed into heaven.

Read it in creative writing, it was... it caught me by surprise.

Hercules goes berserk and kills Megera.
Aurora gets raped by Prince Phillip.

Disney makes some changes to the stories they adapt to films.

Man, I hate to be that guy, but Anastasia isn't Disney.

Still, I get your point! And yeah, another awesome movie.

The only way to ruin childhoods is to show some rule 34.

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

what about mulan? she was 18 instead of a child or w/e disney portrayed
or lion king / kimba the white lion
.

Mulan was 18 the Disney version, and Kimba/Lion King is an outdated false rumor.

I hold Pocahontas in high esteem. It's a wonderful movie with a fascinating story, awesome animation (just look at what Glen Keane did with Pocahontas! ^_^), great characterization, nice voice work and awesome music (Menken rocks my socks, and Schwartz's lyrics are awesome). Sure, it has some flaws, and the theatrical release sadly cut out the heartwarming "If I Never Knew You" (I think the movie is crippled without that song because it's so pivotal to Pocahontas's and Smith's character arcs), but thankfully that song and its bittersweet reprise were added to the film later on. I just hope that once it's released on Blu-ray in a fancy edition (hopefully... *knocks on wood*), the Finnish dub will finally include the scene because I really want to hear a Finnish version of that lovely song.

The sequel is a mixed bag. On the one hand I enjoyed some parts of it (Pocahontas's struggle between her love for Smith and Rolfe, the "fish out of water" scenario when she goes to London, Ratcliffe's greater villainous role and his domination through most of the movie) but on the other hand some parts had lackluster animation, and some questionable story choices. However, it did give us the lovely "Where Do I Go from Here" song, so it's not a total loss. In general even Disney's worst animated DTV sequels had at least interesting songs, and Pocahontas II is no exception to that rule.

is it?

[Hollycat]

troutake mushrooms make me think of the mulan movie for some reason, that movie was ruined for me when I was told that mulan was actually abused after they found out she was a woman. Up till that point in the movie, I love that movie

[MJN SEIFER]

and Kimba/Lion King is an outdated false rumor.

is it?

Yeah, if you ACTUALLY sit and compare the two they're nothing like each other save from stock images, and the fact they're lions.

Oh no... not rule 34.
Nothing is safe.

Stock images?

Images which could have been in any movie, like a random animal (in this case a lion) standing on a cliff.
