Pocahontas came out on June 16th, 1995. It's now 25 years old. What do you think of it?

It ain't that good...
A lot of people whine about its political correctness or whatever, but I never saw it as explicitly offensive or anything

I remember we saw it with my Grandma and afterwards she said she didn't like it. I remember that because for some reason as a kid I guess I was conditioned to always say I liked a movie even if I didn't because I knew my parents had mad a big deal of going, spending money, etc. So I always said I had a good time because I was afraid if I didn't then they wouldn't take me to movies any more. Anyway, when my grandma said that, it shocked me because I also thought it was really boring and it felt really good to have a grown up agree with me on something like that. It's the first time I remember admitting that I didn't like a movie.
RIP Grandma =(

I thought it was fine when I watched it as a kid (also only saw it once on TV; never owned a copy or saw it in the theater), but rewatching as an adult it feels almost like a parody of a Disney movie.

Not even really in a "it's just THAT bad" sense, since there are worse Disney movies out there, but like the combination of making a kids' animated movie out of a subject they probably shouldn't have touched and the lyrics etc. of some of the musical numbers being so heavy-handed that you're just kind of left laughing at them. Rewatching was really kind of a surreal experience for me. Like I'm not even saying it's necessarily bad; it just feels so fucking weird that it even got made.

Poky was there, she just didn't do much.

>unless Pocahontas was one of the princesses in "Ralph Breaks The Internet"
She was

>merica bad
why was this movie so based and beautiful?

Honor your grandmother's memory by giving her a granddaughter.

Not a great-granddaughter. A granddaughter. Think about it.

I don't.

If they ever do a Disney Princess Cinematic Universe, man I hope they redo the character models from scratch. That is just atrocious.

It's goofy and forgettable. I watch it and then I can't remember it exists until I read about it. That said Mel Gibson makes it worth watching at least once.

Natives are indeed the most fucked over of all people in this country. And not to inject a "but" as if raping and pillaging their land is justified, the but here is that the Powhatans were a violent asshole tribe actively working to extinguish other tribes in the area.

>Pocahontas wasn't barefoot

That's just inexcusable.

All of the Natives were just as savage and war mongering as any other tribe in the Americas. Humans are domineering assholes regardless of race. This is why i find the idea of returning land stolen from the Native people's retarded because all of that land was stolen dozens of times over prior to the European colonization.

I think I want to go back.

So hypothetically if we were ever wiped out by aliens, and they justified it by saying we weren't violent assholes who wiped out each other, how'd you feel?

Would you think Xandor was justified in his conquest?

Pocahontas is one of these things that I didn't particularly like but because everyone else judges it even more harshly I always find myself defending it

That’s not a but, natives aren’t one united group, prior to Europe invasion that fucked each other over like ever other human and if left alone you’d probably have the Aztec / Inca or a offshoot if then end up taking over the place like these things usually go. What makes it bad in my opinion is that it become about race and was American history spamming systematic spiked dildo up their ass. Like hate someone for their beliefs not how they look

>In 1491, about 145 million people lived in the western hemisphere. By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90-95 percent, or by around 130 million people.
If you can't see how the "muh both sides" shit the film pulls is amazingly in poor taste, you're either a social darwinist sociopath or you lack basic American history.

Don't get me started on Raps wearing shoes. DONT GET ME FUCKING STARTED FUCK THIS FUCKING MOVIE FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT EVERYONE WHO PAID MONEY TO SEE IT FUCK EVERYONE

>how'd you feel?
Nothing because I'd be dead along with the rest of humanity.

Kinda weird they made this considering Pocahontas was like 12 during the time John Smith's bullshit story even happened.

And she danced naked for the white men.

do you even know how that population change occurred? It wasn't because of Europeans Slaughtering natives, there weren't even enough europeans in the Americas to kill that many. It was the result of viral infections that was going to occur regardless of whether the Europeans came peacefully or not.

I only liked the songs

I remember thinking the talking tree was the coolest thing ever. Reminded me of that hang man's tree in nightmare before christmas.

Plus it was a nature movie which didn't have those annoying fucking talking animals like the Lion King or Tarzan or Brother Bear so that's another plus. Or lack of a minus? That being said I don't remember much of it.
