Thanks for watching, Solo Cups! This was a fun (and kind of depressing) story to revisit! I'm curious: what are YOUR thoughts on the movie? Do you like it? Do you think the inaccuracies are justified since the movie spreads awareness of Pocahontas's existence? Or should Disney have refrained from making the movie at all? Let me know!

I feel like if Pocahontas was presented in a writer's room today, it would be more about her resilience and possibly give her a happy ending. I like the film, it's a visual masterpiece, but the inaccuracies are as uncomfortable as the animated Anastasia (also visually stunning).
As a member of the Chickahominy tribe myself it's amazing that Disney actually got the pronouncing of the names correctly. Do I wish they would have listened to the tribal members that came out to help Disney with the movie more so on the acualt history then just how the homes and traditional practices went. Yes, but I get it can't go with the truth if it looks really bad with her age being a minor.
Yeah Disney definitely went with the whole exotic woman falls in love with the first white guy she sees trope. Actually Pocahontas was a very tragic story.
But you forgot to add pocahontas 2 in where she travels to England, she is treated like a show pony in the movie, at some point shes looking for Smith and then sails off with a whole other John
Yeah that was based on the fact she married another man and if I recall correctly, died giving birth to his son on the way back to her homeland. But I'm not sure.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 yeah irl she ended up being married to Rolfe, bore him a son and died in her early 20's. Her father died of a broken heart, never seeing his daughter again.
I heard Russell Means speak at a lecture series at my college. He was supportive of the film given his own indigenous advocacy, and loved the idea of "white girls affectionately treating their Pocahontas dolls." So that was an interesting argument, where he was more focused on the cultural shift than the historical accuracy. (I remember reading that Pocahontas' friend, Nakoma, has a hairstyle more reflective of South West Indigenous Nations)
My brother is half Native American (same mom, diff dads) He has dual citizenship with Canada where he as worked his whole adult life as a Native American/Aboriginal rights advocate. He was also friends with Russell Means but when the movie came out he was very upset and called him a sellout. He softened his stance years later LOL My brother's name is Russell Diabo.
@@Darkhuntersrule Tiger Eyes with Russell Means and his son Tanaka was beautifully done. Based on the Judy Blue book. I just wonder how much pain and anger Means had throughout his life. I remember Disney was bringing in tons of Native groups to make sure the film was respectful. I can't see Means praising it or reprising his role in the sequel if he was upset with the portrayal of Native Americans. (This does not discredit those with serious concerns. Definitely a film I'll have to talk through my son with when he's old enough to watch it.)
They say the original intention of the movie was to keep it more authentic to reality, but Disney wanted a movie that checked all the hallmark Disney boxes- love interest, clear villain, morals, etc. What I think happened was Russell Means was told beforehand that the story would be accurate & didn't really know much more about it than white people of the time, so never saw much of a problem with the changes, only realized how off it was once the movie came out & chose, then, to focus on the positive. Dude was kind of nuts, but he did care about his people.
As someone who lives in Virginia where the movie is supposedly set, I've been wondering where those waterfalls are my ENTIRE life! LOL! They couldn't even get the terrain right.
For example, Pocahontas was just a kid when she met John Smith who was like twice her age. A romance would never have happened. Plus one theory on the episode where she saves John Smith from execution was in actuality an adoption ritual
Pretty sure actual romances between adults and children have happened quite a bit through history. It didn't happen in this case, but honestly an adult guy in history falling in love with a 10-12 year old girl and marrying her isn't that hard to find.
@@karoline7194 Thank you! It bothers me how people today don’t understand the age girls wed in history, and yet, they say things never would have happened. Queen Victoria’s family was considered the ideal of morality everyone should follow, and she had many of her daughters get married at age 14. Baby girls were often betrothed to men while they were still in the cradle. Of corse they wouldn’t actually marry these men until they bled, but that could be as early as age 11 or 12. Thankfully, it wasn’t common for girls to bleed around age 9 or 10, like it is today. Whether this was true pedophilia is debatable though. Most men from that time only slept with their wives to create offspring. They usually slept with their mistresses the rest of the time. Men rarely married someone they liked or found attractive either. They married whoever had the most money and social connections. So marrying a child to sleep with them would be a bit bizarre. Records also show, these men’s mistresses were actual adults. So I think the issue is more that they thought children magically became adults when they bled. There was no such thing as a teenager. There were babies, children, and adults. I can’t imagine how traumatizing it was for girls to go from children to adults and forced into marriage so fast.
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 Well, marryying that young was also mainly in noble and royal circles. Regular women, if they married, would usually do so in their early to mid 20's.
Thank you so much for making this video. The things Pocahontas + her people and other Native Americans had to go through were disgusting and upsetting. Thank you for shedding light on the subject!!! Edit: can’t wait for next weeks episode!! Sounds extremely interesting :)))
I heard a theory that John’s “execution” was a practice of the chief’s power. It was a ceremony where it would look like he was going to kill John and Pocahontas’ role was to step in and ask her father for mercy. This was to show the chief as a powerful but merciful leader
I wanted to request some history on celtic mythology I love your videos and how you explain stuff so I think your explanation of celtic mythos would be awesome cause it's pretty weird and dark like norse and Slavic mythology
I earned in my 10th grade early American lit class that John Smith wrote his journals in the third person to make himself out to be the hero of an adventure book. He wanted to be the main character so he wrote himself as a literary hero so people reading it would think that someone else wrote it about him and it wasn't for egotistical and narcissistic purposes. He literally wanted someone to find his journals, read about this great adventure hero and be like "Wow, John Smith is so cool. He's like Indiana Jones." So a lot of the things that happened are dramatized for his novel.
Writing about yourself in third person so that people who read it will think that someone else wrote all this great stuff about you sounds pretty egotistical to me.
Thankyou for revisiting this Disney story and the true history behind it. It's disheartening knowing what happened to her and what has continued to happen to native Americans to this day.
I saw your Thanksgiving episode first. Ty for covering my people accurately. Many times I've had to correct people that she was a child and her name was actually Mataoka. The way my tribe worked you had a nickname until a ceremony giving your tribal name. Like how now we have modern English names and a tribal name later. Keep up the good work correcting my culture. It was frustrating growing up native in the public school system. So much bad historical information.
Disney did come out and speak to members of the different tribes, like the Chickahominy, who told them the truth but as you can see they didn't go by it. They did get all of the homes of the natives and the regalia correct but that's about it.
@@yourfavoritenothing2.086 Because the real story wouldnt work as a movie, let alone a Disney one. They should have just make original characters and say it was inspired by the Pocahontas legends. Some people would still be upset (because that's how people are), but a lot less I believe. On the other hand, I'm sure a lot less people outside of America would know about Pocahontas and her real story.
@@yourfavoritenothing2.086 Because they already knew that the real story would not sell as a Disney animated film, and they wanted to do things their own way. Although, I still applaud Disney for finding a way to make the life story of Pocahontas and the myth of Hercules / Heracles kid friendly.
Disney Jon Solo: He hurt his back because he was saving children who trapped in cave. Rea-life Jon Solo: Hurt his back while squatted at LA Fitness. I am sorry Jon I couldn't help my self. But you are right through Disney made John Smith way better than how he actually was in real life.
Shame on RU-vid for not notifying me about this. Learning the real story as a kid from my native friends parents really opened my eyes from an early age
When I watched the movie the thing that confused me most was *why* on Earth would an injured John Smith risk a long, grotty sea voyage to receive "treatment" in a city that was filthy, where disease was rampant, and surgeons didn't wash their instruments 🤢🤮
The story of Pocahontas is how a girl about 12 years of age was abducted, raped, shown off as a living trophy, was forced to marry a man much older than her and when she warned her people of what the englishmen planned was probably poisoned. That whole part about her saving John Smith? Most likely only a thing the real man made up. How Disney even came up with the idea to make a movie about such a horrifying tragedy baffles me to this day.
kidnapping was common back then, natives kidnapped too, marrying young wasn't even taboo then. yeah i guess she was raped ,but did she actually say it? and how do you know she didn't adjust to her new life and eventually lived happy within it and even came to love and cared about her man? ... after all she was not exposed to tv or the internet to tell her how she should feel🙂 and without outside influence people tend to adapt to whatever situation they are in . and you cannot for 1 second convince me that she was on constant lockdown or supervision because she was a flight risk
@@humility-righteous-giving I saw several documentaries and read several articles about her and all of them say mostly the same things. When a few of her sisters visited her in captivity on the ship the was lured to she told them she had been raped several times by different men. This sadly happened to many native women. Some of the articles also said the whole thing happened to her on the trip back to England. Before that she believed her powhatan husband would save her, little did she know the man had been murdered shortly after her captivity. She even bore a child of one of those men. Some now say she was forced to become a christian, some said she willingly did it, the truth is lost to time. In England "Rebecca" was then shown around like an exotic animal. She was more or less forced to marry the much older John Rolfe, the whole thing sounded more like a business plan. Some stories say she actually fell in love with this man, some claim this did not happen like her saving John Smith. She did bore Rolfe's child. In March 1617 when she was only 20 or 21 Pocahontas died. Some native americans visited her and at dinner she told them about some things the settlers want to do to the tribe. Shortly after that she suddenly fell ill and died. It's most likely she had been poisoned. The people who visited her were then sold to circuses as attractions. When her father learned about her early demise he died shortly after. Her story is one big tragedy.
@@nbHawkeye what you say sounds truthful, have not really delved into the story, as a jew i am bothered by the extreme racism against whites like they are and were the scourge of earth, and that the natives and african's were living a peaceful moral existence until the "white devil" showed up and ruined their "heaven on earth" existence ,,the native tribes were constantly fighting each other ,kidnapping was common, scalping was of native origin, africans were the same, they were also eating each other on the regular and not due to lack of food, if africans or the natives were the technologically advanced ones ,then they would have come to Europe and done the to the Europeans the same,,, they are not and were not of higher moral character than Europeans ,in fact it could be argued that back then Europeans were in fact of a higher moral character in comparison, and getting along well enough is what spurred technological advancement
There's a bit more to the story. She had been visiting Jamestown for years, showing an interest in learning English & knew several of the people, there, including Smith. Of course, the Anglo-Powhatan War starts- ironically, caused by John Smith's severe disrespect to Chief Powhatan, the same day as his sudden accidental injury, which apparently occurred whole completely surrounded by his own people, on a boat, while he was asleep following said meeting- and Jamestown is put under seige, with minimal supplies, for years. The English actually lost the war & surrendered to Powhatan, who forced them to pledge loyalty to him in return for their lives. Pocahontas- now an adult- assumes all the fighting is over &, when she & her husband come across an English ship, she wants to take a closer look at it, assuming all is well between whites & natives. Unfortunately, they get her and some others on the ship, take them captive (probably with intent to sell them into slavery) & kill all who resist, including her husband. But, they happen to stop at Jamestown & the people there recognize her, so James Rolfe buys up the lot & sends a message to Powhatan that the war has actually not ended, & if the Powhatan do not surrender to England & give up their sovereignty, Pocahontas & the other captives will be executed. Powhatan resists surrendering just to save his daughter for a while, as it would be selfish to do to his people, but ultimately relents, at which point Pocahontas is apparently infuriated that her father took so long & turns on her people, just long enough to become a Christian & decide to marry James Rolfe.
I’d like to see you do a messed up origins on the mayflower voyagers aka the pilgrims. Because the story about explorers and natives having a dinner of peace and harmony is far from the truth... from my knowledge at least.
I think another film that absolutely tramples on the hard realities was the animated version of The King & I. Pretty much a solid remake of the live action bar a couple scenes, but would be an interesting topic to go into Jon!
I agree. Anna Leowens who wrote a memoir that the king & I was based on , completely embellished a lot of her time as tutor to the King of Siam’s children. First of all , she was Anglo/Indian who was born & raised in India. But the King did offer to send war elephants to president Lincoln to help with the civil war
I didn’t realize there was an animated version of The King and I. I only know of the one starring Yul Brynner, who played the King in over 6000 performances, in film and on Broadway
I grew up watching the animated movie a lot and I even still have the VHS tape of it, and some of the songs are nice and nostalgic , but I listened/watched it again after a long time and it felt weird how they portrayed some things. I think an episode on the story would be really interesting, I would love to know the origins of where they got everything from!
10:53 - It was more than just being angry that Pocahontas was kissing Smith, it was that he thought Smith was attacking Pocahontas. 12:14 - I've heard the theory that the whole business of them appearing to be about to kill Smith and then Pocahontas rushing in to save him was actually a ritual to adopt Smith into the tribe.
When Pocahontas, Indian in the Cupboard, Babe and some other movie, were at the dollar theater, I went to see all of them, on Thanksgiving Day, and my birthday. The staff were surprised I was electing to go see dollar flics on both my birthday and Thanksgiving, but it was a rainy, cold miserable day in Dallas Texas. The reason was that the rest of the family went to the football game with the Dallas Cowboys. In between these movies, I was cross stitching, so I was sitting under a light to see what I was doing. A mother and 2 kids came in for Pocahontas. I had to explain that this was a fantasy story, not real history. I was a history minor (30 hours, so I could've had a double major) in college, and my family, while not from Virginia, were among the earliest settlers in New Jersey. I knew Pocahontas was very young, even by the standards of the day, and it was several years before she married. I remember hating the movie, oh, it was beautiful, but I kept wanting to 'fix' it. I kind of hope that family went home and did some actual research on the reality of it.
Sounds snobby tbh. Let the kids enjoy their movie, and when they’re older, and at an appropriate age they can research the true story on their own, or they can wait till they learn about it in their social studies class like the rest of us. You didn’t have to do anything, you just want to flex on your “moral” superiority.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 no people except them to not whitewash and remake terrible historical events in a positive light, they could’ve made something original like other movies but instead rewrote a tragic story. You don’t see people making Anne franks story kid friendly 😐
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 slavery was a different time as well but that didn’t make it ok💀 duh it didn’t just come out but people can still look back and say/realize it wasn’t right💀
I have--according to my mom's cousin, who is the self-designated genealogist/family historian--somewhere up in our family tree, an ancestor who at one in his life served under John Smith for a good many years. Idk if it was during this Pocahontas business, but afterwards he went on to write a book about his experience and about how incompetent Smith really was.😂
Dude I'm Ponca from Oklahoma and thank you for not being afraid to post the gritty truth. Our shared history with one another (First Nation, Pilgrams) can seem so dark, I've seen other channels lie and say many tribes gave land away willing because they had so much they didnt know what to do with it {as if we were children, Yet we saved them their first winters and many more times over}; but what happened happened and we have to face it so we don't repeat it on each other. Let's show ALL of our ancestors they didn't die in vain because Love prevailed!! [Native Cry] Aye Thank you for your channel I like revisiting my favorite childhood Disney movies here and all the Greek mythology is Rad
I’ve always loved anything that is historically accurate, and other people hate watching movies w me for that.💀 But this channel has made me feel better bc I’m not the only nerd out here.
"Pocahontas encounters John Smith in the wilderness he was about to blast her in the face with his gun until he realized that she's kinda hot." 7:54 love how much shade was thrown in this one 😂
this movie always gives me such conflicting feelings on the one hand it gave native americans an icon to help bridge the cultural gap on the other it completely glossed over the real tragic history and its also baffling that somebody pitched this idea and somehow got it made
I find it both hilarious and sad that you did better on this story than some big name historical programs on here who still perpetuate the lie that this was some beautiful romantic fantasy
I've never seen Pocahontas for the same reason I've never seen Don Bluth's Anastasia: I already knew the actual histories of those girls when the films came out, so no matter how beautifully made they were, they just would have left me angry and depressed.
@@thenonexistinghero I can skip those and just watch the marvelous films from Studio Ghibli…they have all of that AND beautiful messages without whitewashing dark historical realities
@@dtschuor459 They didn't whitewash anything. They just took some elements here & there from history and crafted wonderful stories out of them. The goal was to make beautiful animated movies and stories that anyone could watch and enjoy. Not like the modern day where the goal is to brainwash and indoctrinate everyone with woke ideals.
I these old Disney books, and one of them touched on what points on history inspired some of their works, Pocahontas included. Learning her life was a bit of a brain-flipper, but ultimately helped the sequel make so much sense. Boy was I a silly kid for yelling at my TV when I saw her kissing John Rolf at the end.
Pocahontas was my favorite Disney movie as a little girl. I USED to say she was my favorite Disney character. Until being old enough to understand and research. Thanks for the Vid
Technically not a lie the key word is "inspired". Make no mistake it frustrates me too because EVERY MOVIE that says "inspired by true events" DOES THIS...! They know what they are doing and know most people will automatically think "we'll it's true" not it's "BASED ON" real events........
I have it on good authority that the disneyfication of your injury makes about as much sense as John Smith being sent on a three month boat trip to recover from a gun shot wound to the chest. I have a friend who was a teacher in a third world country and had to have me talk to her coworkers on identifying learning disabilities in students and to convince them it didn't mean they were stupid, because they don't test for it. It went about as well as would be expected given I'm literally a white lady telling them how to do their job. But she tried.
I commend you for trying to respectfully navigate that very tricky situation. I completely understand how it difficult it would be to try to teach teachers in another country our social model of disability, without making them feel like you’re saying the white way is the best way. But as a disabled woman and disability activist, I also completely understand that we can’t just sit back and watch people treat children with disableist attitudes. It would be so interesting if more research could be done on changing social attitudes about disability without pushing white culture onto these countries.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to convince people that their students are not stupid, it's them who are "stupid" (the actual saying "there is no bad students, only bad teachers"). Even in US and other developed countries, where teachers are empowered to create their own teaching materials on the fly, there were a variety of success. I discussed this with a friend recently. It seems like the pay and benefits (stable, low paid but with good prospect and pension, etc.) of the job helps attracts certain types of people to the job of teaching. So, in order to attract people that can create teaching materials on the fly (effectively), the pay and benefits has to compete with those of advertising firms 🤣!?
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 that's part of the reason why I chose the name I did for my channel. Hopefully, some parent with a newly diagnosed child, or a child with dyslexia will see what I do and reconsider their child's potential.
As far as I'm concrened, I don't consider Pocahontas and John Smith a Disney couple. I consider Pocahontas and John Rolfe a Disney couple, because that's who she ultimately ends up with romantically according to the sequel.
We've lost touch, but I knew a residential "school" Survivor who absolutely hates this movie. He said something in a tweet once to the effect of, "No, I don't hear he wolf cry to the blue corn moon." So I don't know about other Indigenous people, but I'm going to go with "That's a very authoritative 'nope', coming from a Survivor of the system."
You watch Honest Trailer? I love that series. I just watched it too before this episode. It makes sense though to see them both come out today since Thanksgiving is in 2 days. They needed Thanksgiving content. Just like how they had stuff come out during Halloween last month. There’s not really much in terms of Thanksgiving content. It really is stuck between the 2 big dog holidays and gets forgotten or pushed to the side. The story of Pocahontas and the Pilgrims really is pretty much it in terms of content that is very well known to everyone. So I don’t think Pocahontas is really the next big thing. Just Thanksgiving content for us. Hence why we are getting this content from different channels.
I've read that Kocoum was her husband whom she married at the age of 15 and had a daughter Ka-Okee with him. When Argall with the help of chief Japazaw kidnapped her, her husband was killed and the daughter was brought up by another tribe from the Powhatan confederacy. At least this is what the Mattaponi tribe tells through their oral history - I believe there are more ppl out there to correct me. Look at this whole buzz with the movie from a different perspective - people all over the world (I'm not from US for instance and English is my third language) began to investigate the topic to figure out what really happened and got fascinated with the Native Americans' history. This is a huge help in raising interest in indigenous heritage.
This is why I didn't like Pocahontas not even as a kid, it felt off as a kid and then when I learned the real story I just hated it even more, only good thing about it was colors of the wind 😂
I was going to take you and the Wife to meet Wayne Newton who is descendant of Pocahontas son .When the movie was 1st released they were trying to get her body returned back here to the States and have her lain to rest with her people. See when You 2 were going to meet him here in Las Vegas. He had some very rare items that may have belonged to her and her father. That would have been a perfect time to give you 2 kids your wedding present. It was from the heart that I wanted to gift you. Did you ever get pictures of London Bridge while you were in Az?
I was a kid when this movie came out and my Mother wouldn't let me watch it on principal... One I only came to understand properly as an adult. The only other film she wouldn't take us to see was Anastasia, for similar reasons.
when doing a project regarding my family tree for a class a few years ago i actually found out im a descendant of pochontas and john rolfe. Im related to thomas rolfe ( i think he is a great grandparent) with john rolfe being a direct great grandparent and pochontas being a great- grandma in law
I’m about as surprised by Disney taking “leaps” from the original material, as I am when they released the Black Mermaid Trailer and tried to claim you were racist for noticing.
So I'm 1:54 seconds in when you talk about sacrificing the Like and Subscribe buttons and it hits me that you have the perfect voice, pitch and snark for running a Call of Cthulhu RPG session. The thought crossed my mind of you telling people to "roll sanity" with our usual snarky flair and I admit it made me giggle a bit. Random thought of the day.
I really liked hearing the comparison between the movie & what actually happened. I love ur videos & not a single 1 of them has disappointed me. As always...lookin 4ward 2 ur next 1. 🐈⬛🖤💋
I mean, according to Disney, Pocahontas learned English in five seconds with the help of a few colorful leaves. It was extremely inaccurate! I still love “The Colors of the Wind” song. It’s still in my Top 10 Disney song list.
5:11 actually from what i understand modern historians would say john smiths stories while probs a bit aggerated to be sure were more accurate than previously thought he actually did live an exciting life ( also im pretty sure that pic is from later in his life )
This was one of my favorite movies as a child I thought Pocahontas was so fierce and beautiful now that I'm older it's like.. damn heartbreaking. It will always be a favorite tho
@@BelenPeralta1 Op can still like the movie while having respect for the actual events. Ya’ll act like everything exists in the binary, when multiple options can be true at once.
Yes they won't. Even Alan Menken said that this one won't get a live-action remake because it would offend a lot of people. They even have a song that is controversial.
:30 Actually you're using the word ignorance perfectly. The evidence, history & facts are directly presented to them. In which in return they then promptly *ignore* the events for how it is. Making their actions *ignor*ant in the process.
Some historians believe that John Smith stole the whole Indian princess saved me from certain story. Juan Ortiz was a Spanish Conquistador who was a member of Narvaez party when exploring Florida. He was captured by Florida natives and was almost roasted alive twice by one of the Native chieftains but his daughter saved him and helped him escape to neighboring tribe by telling her father that we are not savages like the Christians so you should not kill him. He was a captive for 12 years when Hernando de Soto came to explore Florida and the chieftain of the tribe he escaped too told him more Christians have come and he can go to them. He became a translator for de Soto since he knew three different native languages but he died before leaving what is now the state of Florida and he never made it home back to Spain. The Man from Elvas recorded his Juan Ortiz's story and John Smith is known to have a copy of it.
I remember how much I loved the Pocahontas so much even different verse until I learned the real story and it mad me so sad (I was a child) so the new Mulan movie became my new favorite lol
The Ballad of Hua Mulan is even sadder. Mulan was actually trained by her father to fight and when the invaders came to battle in China Mulan’s father agreed with her disguising herself as a man and going to war China eventually won the war and Mulan was offered medals and awards for her bravery and when she returned home a few of her comrades realized after taking off her armor they realize she was a woman a few years past and Mulan’s father ended up passing away and her mother remarrying and Mulan ended up committing suicide.
Changes I would make is that John Smith is actually the villain instead of Ratcliffe. Maybe the love interest could've been Thomas - just got to change his personality a little And instead of an arranged marriage, Chief Powhatan allows Pocahantas to reject Kocoum to find her true love In this change of events, John Smith sees Thomas and Pocahantas smooching and it enrages him, so he plans on shooting both. Then, Kocoum shows up and tries to stop him, only to be shot in the scuffle John Smith is taken to be executed, but Pocahantas still tries to stop it because "if you kill him, you are no better than the white man" or something like that The movie ends with everyone going back to England while Thomas is accepted into their tribe and him and Pocahantas are engaged Just an idea
Now I'm curious if Disney will eventually do a Remake of Pocahontas? If a Remake is in the works, I'll be surprised if they'll even changed the original story as much accuracy as they can. Is Disney really doing a Pocahontas live Remake?
Idk, but I'd like to see another animated version of this story, whether it's from Disney, DreamWorks or some other studio. I just think it'd be interesting to compare it with the original movie. Kinda like barbie's rapunzel and tangled I guess
I think the film does plenty well and plenty sloppy. It's fine but not the best and underwhelming but hardly the worst. Also, a vast improvement over the earlier version!
I love Pocahontas. It got me into researching Native Americans and the history behind different tribes. Not to mention Colors of the wind is a good song.
