Native American here lol we (my dozens of cousins) loved this movie when it came out. Being kids we didn't see the inaccuracies but just the representation of our culture
This movie meant a lot to me growing up and being Native myself. There's definitely valid criticism towards it for it's inaccuracies but I still love it for what it meant to me. Plus the animation is beautiful. I just enjoy it as a fictional story based on real people. 💕
I learned about the real story in school and with how violent and awful the story really was i dont know if disney could do that story and still make it acceptable for kids to watch.
Thank you for watching it the way it is supposed to be watched. Those criticisms are only valid if you look at it like a documentary. Which it isn't and has never claimed to be.
@@staceyolvey1527 Very true. Similar to Anastasia.
@@entertainmentlife430 I felt the same way when I really learned the truth but I guess they worked with what they could.
@@katwebbxo there was no way they were going to tell the real story and be sued by parents for kids getting tramuatized. It was better to just do a rom com thing with fighting sides. Kinda like what happened with anatasia but that was fox.
Willow bark is what we first derived aspirin from, good pain killer
The message of this movie is so important, especially for kids to learn. The fact that BOTH sides had prejudice and not willing to communicate. I watched this movie so many times as a kid, and even today when ever there are news of political parties fighting etc, I just hear in my head the song "Savages, savages! Barely even human!"
Interesting thing: the song that was in the credits, If I Never Knew You, was actually a duet between Pocahontas and John Smith in the prisoner tent. It was taken out of the film for years, but the special edition release put it back in later on.
Glad they kept it. For a reson I don't know, the song was in english in the end of my VHS but I'm french
Oh, this soundtracks is well-loved by those of us who grew up in the 90s especially. I know them all by heart. "Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?" I love Wiggins. Fraught with historical inaccuracies? Oh yes. Some of them quite terrible? A nostalgic, story from my childhood with gorgeous animation and beloved soundtrack? Plus the animal sidekick feud holds up. Glad you liked them so.
I don’t care what anyone says.
This movie has the best animal sidekicks.
Another one that people say that Avatar took 'inspiration' from is Fern Gully, which is well worth a watch. People tend to forget that Robin Williams did a voice in it and he was fabulous as always.
and Tim Curry ❤️🎶
I remember when I was 11 I faked being sick so I could stay home and watch this when it came out on video!
Absolutely loved this movie as a kid and still do. This and Mulan were in heavy rotation.
I loved this movie as a kid. Pocahontas's songs are some of my favorite of all Disney movies and the art is beautiful. I agree they made great color choices and I love how her hair moves in the wind. It's the first time I learned about animism, the belief that all beings have a soul, and that's impacted me greatly.
One of the major criticisms of this movie is that there was a real Native American named Pocahontas, and a Jon Smith, and her story is quite tragic. I think the movie, from what I remember, had some good messages about colonization (like what Wiggins says), but it is white washed compared to the real history of Pocahontas and native people in the U.S.
I was jealous of her beautiful hair as a little girl.
@@a.g.demada5263 It's incredible. Anytime my hair goes flowing in the wind, I'm like 'My Pocahontas moment!' 😂🥰
@@bloomwiththestars and me,I grew up hating my frizzy hair (I'm a black adopted woman) because it couldn't fly like hers
The real Pocahontas is buried a few towns over from mine, I’ve been to her grave once or twice it’s strange thinking she ended up about an hour from me
Fun fact: “If I Never Knew You” (the love song that plays in the end credits) was originally written for the scene where Pocahontas and John Smith meet for the last time in the tent before he is set to be executed. It was cut when during test screenings kids got squeamish. It’s a very serious and tender love ballad and was eventually restored for the 10th Anniversary DVD along with a reprise at the end when Pocahontas and John Smith share their last kiss. I can understand why it was cut, but with it in I think it strengthens the romance even more. Also I always enjoyed the pop renditions of Disney songs during the end credits as it was like a souvenir from the movie you took home with you as the credits rolled. Great reaction as always!
Wow, that's incredible. It's funny because in the end of my VHS, the song was in english and I'm french.
I heard the two versions and I think the original is much better
Oh my god, that's my favorite Disney princess movie since I'm a little girl. I was so jealous of Pocahontas' long beautiful hair.
That's good to understand how wise the movie is when you watch it as an adult. I like to think the scene from " The Lion king 2 " where Kiara manages to reason Simba in the end was inspired of that movie.
If you want my opinion, the almost war will still happen if Kocoum killed John (he was clearly physically stronger that him) because the colons will want to take revenge. But it's interesting to see Thomas being the only one showing hesitation during the " Savages " song
David Ogden Stiers (rhymes with Flyers or Wires) who voices Governor Ratcliffe was a very well known character actor who appeared in dozens of television shows and films, probably best known for playing Major Charles Winchester on the old M*A*S*H TV series. He also voiced several other characters for Disney, including Cogsworth the clock in "Beauty & the Beast", the old priest who saves baby Quasimodo's life at the beginning of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", and the alien scientist who creates Stitch in "Lilo and Stitch".
No one puts pocahontas in a corner 🤣 that got me lol really funny reaction bro I appreciate it 👍
Definitely recommend looking into Pocahontas' real life and the tragic things she endured. 💔
Most of the issue is that these were real people and the story didn't happen like this. Pocahontas herself was like, 12.
I was 8/9yo when this came out too. I watched it in theater with my cousins and of course we bought it on vhs as soon as it came out. The animation is gorgeous!
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 I really enjoyed this, first reaction I watched from you. I like your natural humour, how your emotions flowed naturally in the reaction and also how damn deep and insightful you are. Definitely going to subscribe and watch more.
I definitely felt like this movie was important to me growing up. It's a good entry level about learning tolerance, acceptance, discussion etc. Yes, it's problematic considering its historical content. And trust me, as a Brit, we still don't teach enough at my school days about the detriments the British Empire did for communities. So knowing the history, it can be problematic and simplifying the history but as a kid...I got the message. It was a earnest message.
That's very sweet of you to say.
I don't often get called insightful, and if you watch my Harry Potter reactions... have an open mind lol (and hopefully have a laugh too)
30:11 Jump! When I first saw this, I thought she was going to jump and swim to him or something..
I loved this movie as a kid, but I agree with the criticisms it gets. This movie ages her, she was only a kid when she met John Smith (who was a big fibber, btw), it creates a romantic relationship between the two (again she was only a kid when she met him), and romanticizes her life, especially the movie sequel. In real life she was captured and sold to an older man who later married her when she was only 17 (John Rolfe). She died when she was only 20 years old. Her life was pretty tragic
I was OBSESSED with this. It replaced my obsession with The Lion King. All girls wanted the fringe shirts and sunflower everything lol
The music is unforgettable. The 90s was the last greatest time of existence!
When this came out i was obsessed with native americans and i loved this movie so much because of it.
Hey friend! That was an inside thought
@@leahdavis9434 what do u mean?
@@entertainmentlife430that's a weird thing to say and you should've kept it to yourself basically
@@leahdavis9434 why was that weird?
@@leahdavis9434I don’t see how someone finding interest in another culture as weird tbh but normal, as it’s natural to want to know more about something different from what you’re used to
It's 1607 in the movie and corn is a New World food. So yeah, the Brits have never seen corn before.
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the trading card bit. It’s a good addition to the reaction 😊
This was one of my favorite movies as a child, and meant a lot more to me once I found out I was Indigenous myself (didn't know for many years because my mother was a self-hating racist). Though now as an adult and understanding racism and colonialism it does make me dislike the settlers more than I did as a child. lol Really hate John Smith now. XD I know there are a ton of historical inaccuracies with this movie, but I still love this Pocahontas, as a character. The settlers are jerks, and she is amazing and far too good for John!
avatar is absolutely a must see lol the box office numbers tell you its at least worth checking out !
Even if the story is mostly fictional. The heart of the message is still good.
Love conquers all ❤
I legit almost screeched when you said you were gonna react to Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. That is my all time favorite movie and I will most definitely catch that reaction when it comes out on CZcams. The beginning can be tough for some people to watch but overall it’s a great movie.
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. You should definitely watch Avatar!!!
Also, the Wheel of Time season 3 is very near and you haven't even started with it yet! 😉
PLEASE watch Avatar! It's beautiful, even if the story is nothing special. Worth it.
Pocahontas Pitch Meeting as soon as possible, pretty please?
Funny to think that the most important scene of this movie was cut in the final version.
you made me laugh getting at the British.. I agree that we shouldn't have roamed (if you get me)... Look at what's become of America and Australia. we should of left well alone. 🤣🤗
I just finished Black Sails today lol this is great timing for ship content lol
Thomas is Batman from Batman Begins. I have been reading about Filipino history and America "rescued" them from Spain, but basically colonized them. It made me think of what the British colonists did to the Native Americans.
Loved this!!
Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one
24:25 That part annoys me. Why did she have to lashed out at Thomas when he shot Kocoum like that?? John ALMOST got killed and Thomas saved his life!
Plus, she never really wanted to marry Kocoum anyway because she had absolute NO INTEREST in him, whatsoever. Kocoum had a strict and very serious behavior while she on the other hand, was more adventurous, carefree, and independent and she thought that he was way too boring for her. And now that he's gone, she should (and should have) _thank_ Thomas for sparing John's life and freeing from that silly *arranged-marriage* she never really wanted to be in the first place! 🤦♀️
Anyone 100% agree?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I never noticed that this was the same story line as avatar 😂
it's not the same story. I can't understand why people say they are the same, they are very different.
but its not lol
In the sequel she goes to London.
She's buried less than 30 miles from central London, so it's a fair bet she did go there.
@@nicksykes4575 I just said she did... in Pocahontas 2 you get to see it.
If you liked David Ogden Stiers as Ratcliffe, you'll probably have fun with Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast.
Ahhh I have reacted to that, same guy?
@@AdamfromFWCI yup, he did a lot of voicework (and was a star in the show MASH)
@@AdamfromFWCI also, it's not mentioned much in reaction suggestions, but you might like First Wives Club
My card collection was only Pokémon 😂
You should watch Pocahontas 2
All Disney are "song" ones.
❤
I am so confused, that was Pocahontas, not Avatar? or the other side around?
W Video 🎉
I will say, they should've made the bears black bears, not brown bears. Brown bears are very protective of their cubs, but black bears aren't quite as violent over them.
If you want to see "My Fair Lady," Pocahontas-style? Watch the made-for-TV sequel. I actually liked it, but I think I'm in a minority.
Does she go to the races at Ascot like
"My former fiance died from a blunderbuss wound"
@@AdamfromFWCI lol Nah, she goes to "the Hunt Ball." There are a couple twists.
Watch the second one please
You should watch Avatar
The HATE I BREW FOR THOMAS IN THIS MOVIE WILL NEVER GO AWAY. Im a Kocoum defender since I was a kid and I will remain hating Thomas until I die.
As an adult, I can understand he didn't really think of what he was doing
I hate how they didn’t tell the true story for a Disney Movie. Technically they didn’t get the story right at all…..
I can separate the movie from what actually happened because what happened was terrible, maybe if they didn’t name the characters after the real people it would’ve been better but overall I love the movie and the soundtrack.
Avatar being essentially a retelling of this story, is why I never watched it.
Please watch Pocahontas 2 as well, it has some good songs and comedy, she goes to London in that ine and the villain returns. It also has a interesting love part.
Please watch the sequel to this!!!
25:26 Kocoum was jealous. Remember he was supposed to marry Pocahontas or whatever. It was jealous. Thomas and Pocahontas' friend both suck.
Do you believe that Kocoum's death is Nakoma's fault? (name of Pocahontas' friend) She told Pocahontas that she sent him after her and said she thought she was doing the "right thing".
But in actuality, it was the *wrong* thing she had done?
@@Elysia63 No. It wasn't her fault. Kocoum knew two things about John Smith. He kissed Pocahontas and he could have been dangerous. Maybe it was jealousy, maybe he thought John was trying to assault her. From an outsider's view, one could say Thomas and Nakoma suck. But thinking about it more, both of them are just loyal friends.
I do find it funny that this guy was a brave warrior and one of the best...but quickly, nobody cared that Thomas, apparently the new leader of the Englishmen towards the end, killed him. It's never brought up again.
@@larryjester Do you believe that Kocoum is *responsible* for his own death? Because his jealousy for John and his _obsessive love_ for Pocahontas were actually his *own fate?*
@@Elysia63 Human emotions. That's what killed Kocoum. Rage, jealous, fear, and passion from him...fear from Thomas as well. Both Thomas and Kocoum were convinced by their leaders that they had an enemy in the other group. So you could really blame both Radcliffe and Powhatan for instilling hatred into their people.
