quote
Pocahontas: We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
Powhatan: Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
Pocahontas: But maybe we should try talking to them.
Powhatan: They do not want to talk.
Pocahontas: But if one of them did want to talk, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?
Powhatan: Pocahontas...
Pocahontas: Wouldn't you?
Powhatan: Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.

Anyone who expects historical accuracy from a Disney animated feature should be ashamed of themselves. Those approaching POCAHONTAS in anticipation of seeing a true-to-history account of the early days of Jamestown are in for a rude awakening. In reality, Pocahontas was a 12- year old girl who never had a romance with John Smith (she later married John Rolfe, the man who brought tobacco to England). Writers Binder, Grant, and LaZebnik have changed those details (and more) in an effort to create a story that appeals to both children and adults. Taking advantage of the studio's breathtakingly intricate animation, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg have breathed vitality into this, the fifth "new wave" Disney animated feature.
