Pocahontas

Send us Fan MailTERMINOLOGY NOTE: After the airing of this episode I was kindly informed that I used the wrong terminology.  First Nations is the appropriate and accurate term. In the future episodes on indigenous culture movies I’ll be sure to use the accurate term! Thank you for understanding in my continual education of using respectful terms! Love ya! Pocahontas is one of those films people have been mixed about since the 90s. They either loved it, hated it, or scared to admit they liked it. In the past years, people have toned down on the film and seen it for being a beautiful despite the inaccuracies that shroud the spectacle of this film. It’s an important film to Disney, and it’s one of the most important films to me and I’ll be sharing all my love for this film that had a different twist in time. What was it about Pocahontas that made it a success despite it’s controversy? What was the other controversy of the film? What song almost got cut from the film? Listen with your heart as we dive into this 90s gem of Disney history. Part 1: Intro!Part 2: Why was this was a game changer for Disney?Part 3: A Film full of firsts!
