Live action Disney movie Pocahontas?

[Estro Felino]

@Estro Felino Do you think it would be a good idea to make an animated musical based on the diary of Anne Frank? Except instead of meeting her tragic demise in a concentration camp, she instead falls in love with a german officer who has a change of heart and whisks her away to safety and freedom?

Is that a matter of names?
John Smith is the most common English name ever.

But Danes could feel insulted that Disney completely twisted the meaning and the plot of The Little Mermaid. They consider Andersen a national hero, and yet they don't.
Or in Mulan there are things which are not historically accurate.

So you're comparing the hypothetical feelings of dead people to historical plights and injustices?

Come on...these are all excuses, in my humble opinion. Otherwise they would have never made the Pocahontas cartoon in the first place.
It's because of the message: the American audience, the Capitalists don't want to feel guilty.

I implore you once again to step out of the pizza dimension and into the real world. It has nothing to do with "guilting capitalists". There are countless books, TV shows, songs, movies, etc. that have been and continue to be produced that are critical of greed, exploitation, colonialism, etc. (such criticism is considered "woke" by conservatives).

Stop making up silly nonsense about my country.

I'm going to ignore your insultingly disingenuous question and ask that you give me a proper answer.

But apparently...it turns out the only ones who disliked the 1995 movie Pocahontas were WASPs.
So your reasoning doesn't add up, I am sorry, sir.

What do Native Americans think of Disney's Pocahontas?

Answer (1 of 23): I’m Native (Ojibwe), as is my mom. My mom bought both the Pocahontas movies as soon as they came out on VHS when I was little and we watched them pretty regularly. I would say that both of us view it as a positive step of just having a Native woman character who is smart, kind, ...

Yup.

I'm really taken with the idea of doing a Maleficent style rework now, though.
(Not sure if you've seen that?)

I haven't seen it, no. I almost exclusively watch horror nowadays, and when I watch anything else, it's usually a thriller or disaster movie.

I suppose one could make the case that a sufficiently bad Disney remake would qualify as a disaster movie, but...

You should be, albeit for different reasons.

"Pocahontas' draws ire of American Indians

Walt Disney Pictures has circled its public relations wagons to defend itself against a wave of protests from American Indians concerning the animated feature film Pocahontas.

Do you know what I admire the most about Americans?
That they know how to contain laughter.

We can't. I would have burst out laughing...making a terrible blunder...listening to Trump saying Pocahontas...with a straight face.

I have burst out laughing in the most formal occasions.

Again, as we've already explained, it's not the movie itself but the source material. Pocahontas was a real person, who lived a short tragic life essentially due to being trafficked. You wouldn't get away with trying to sweep that along with the plight of the Native Americans in general under the rug today.

The real Pocahontas via historical documentary is definitely recommended.
