Number Thirty Three: Pocahontas


Pocahontas

1995

Right now it is 11:36. That means I have twenty four minutes before it is a new day, and I am just starting this blog now. I now have twenty two minutes to finish writing this. Let’s see how this goes!

Well, this movie was dumb. Disney murdered history with this film. The real Pocahontas was around ten or eleven years old when she met John Smith, so a romantic relationship would have been extremely wrong and creepy, since he was twenty six or so at the time. Yuck.

Besides the fact that none of these events actually happened like the way the movie said, this movie was just boring. It’s predictable and kind of corny. It has moments where the scenery is beautiful, drop dead gorgeous in some parts, but that really isn’t enough to make me want to watch this again.

Ahhh I have nine minutes till midnight! Well, all I have to say is don’t watch this movie! Go read a book on the real Pocahontas. She was much cooler in real life.

Movie Watching Budd(y)(ies): No one. None of my friends or family like this movie. None!

Best Song: I will say that since Alan Menken did the score (He also did Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, just to name a few), the music of this movie was pretty fantastic. My personal favorite was “Colors of the Wind.” I do tend to like the popular songs I suppose, but they’re popular for a reason!

Best Part: Meeko, the raccoon, using a hummingbird as a sword. 

P.S It's now 11:59! I did it!

  1. It really was too bad that they slaughtered the history of this story. The real one is so exciting! Just think what they could have done with this movie?
