These are my honest thoughts and observations as I watch
Pocahontas:
· The
beginning made me initially think of the Little
Mermaid because they both start off with seagulls flying past and cawing.
· Notice
how they make all the other men not as good looking (add facial hair, bulkier, cockney
accents, etc.) than the hero, John Smith.
· The
moment you see that carriage barreling through the streets, you know that
whoever is in it must be the supposed bad guy or villain
· Oh
wow, I forgot how flamboyant Governor Ratcliffe was … OH A DOG YAY
·
· Gosh
this movie has sooo many editing similarities as the Little Mermaid. The ship in a storm scene is almost identical
seeming
· Ironic
how John Smith is the only man who can secure the cannons in the storm, when
there are plenty others around to help. But hey, he is the hero. And a cute one
at that.
· Aw,
please don’t leave him behind to drown !! Oh dang, that’s impressive. YGG Smith
· Of
course, Gov. Ratcliffe “didn’t notice” the storm.
· I
never noticed until now, but his little henchman is quite feminine as well. Very
skinny, has a higher pitched voice, is clumsy, etc.
·
Oh
no, I forgot that this dog is supposed to be evil too … Disney must’ve designed
his personality around that of a cat’s
·
Hundreds
of new lands you say? Hmm ok. There are only 195 countries in the world today, and
I know back in the 1800s, there were definitely less than 195.
·
If
a viewer didn’t have any prior knowledge of native Americans before seeing this
movie, at this point you would certainly think they were savages
·
Oh
wait, here come the Indians, yess
·
Again,
why do they have to make every female look pretty much the same?
·
Ah,
I love the part where the woman is so excited to see her (presumed) husband
that she rushes and knocks them both in the water. Very cute
·
AGAIN!
Just like Ariel had missed her welcoming ceremony thing to explore, Pocahontas
misses the return of her father and the men because she is exploring
 |
| Hahaha Miko’s response to Pocahontas marrying Kocoum is wonderful |
·
AHHH
Yes Flit and Miko !!! they are adorable omg
·
Omg
omg PANIC ATTACK nope would never jump off a cliff that large. Only in Disney movies
could someone actually survive that
·
Miko
is me jumping off the water fall. At first thinks it is going to be fun, then
IMMEDIATELY regrets it and flops
·
I
appreciate Pocahontas’ sarcasm, especially about Kocoum
·
Another
example of how Disney creates similar characters in their movies à the father/chief wants his daughter to marry
·
This
animation is so colorful!
·
Oh,
I feel another song coming on! “Just around the river benndddddd”
·
Why
does this girl love danger? First jumping off waterfalls and now white-water
rafting
·
Where
can you get a wise talking tree?
·
Aww
love at first sight (kinda)
·
Miko
is just so adorable
·
It’s
so sad to see them tear apart the land for nothing
·
Aww
it really is love, or wonder, at first sight!
·
Smart
Pocahontas, run !
·
Ugh,
not smart, don’t trust strangers ! yes, he’s cute but that doesn’t excuse him
for anything
·
How
did she just learn English ?
·
NO
DON’T SHOOT
·
“a
man is not a man until he knows how to shoot.” …. Wow ok. And is a woman not a
woman unless she knows how to cook?
·
I
think Flit is definitely the brains in the bunch
·
OH,
bad wording John. Don’t call them savages or claim that you know better 1)
because you really don’t know better and 2) she’s a woman, we are almost always
right
·
Boom.
Tell him Pocahontas !! “But still I cannot see, if the savage one is me. How can
there be so much that you don’t know?”
·
Nakoma’s
reactions to seeing John, then Pocahontas saying she’s already met him, and so
forth, are so funny!
·
I
love Pocahontas’ reaction to John seeing Grandmother willow show her face to him,
he’s so freaked out haha
·
These
poor Indians have no idea what they are getting into.
·
Also,
poor Kocoum doesn’t have any idea that Pocahontas is a lost cause
·
I
think Miko is my spirit animal. Clumsy and always eating
·
Gov.
Ratcliffe should think twice before he says anything more about this land being
his because all his lazy bum has done is eat and complain, whereas everyone
else has been slaving away
·
Ok
Pocahontas, you really didn’t see this coming? You kiss a “bad guy” in your
people’s eyes WHEN YOU ARE ENGAGED to another, and its honestly surprising that
your fiancé comes to fight the bad guy ?
·
Watching
this movie is making me realize how much my opinions have changed since I was 10.
I am now siding with the chief and believe that marrying Kocoum would be best
when I used to adore John (don’t get me wrong, I still do), but he just needs
to pack his stuff and go before war starts
·
I’m
so conflicted watching this fight! Can they both just live, PLEASE
·
NO
ugh why couldn’t they just let them both live !! poor Kocoum didn’t deserve
this fate.
·
I
really hate to say it, but Pocahontas really needs to learn the lesson of obedience
·
Wow,
why do I not remember a song sung by John Smith?? It’s so sweet.
·
Of
course, Ratcliffe takes this opportunity of John’s peril for his own bidding
·
This
song reminds me a lot of “The Mob Song” from Beauty and the Beast
o
Very
ironic lines saying “they are not like you and me, which means they must be
evil.” (sung by ratcliffe) and “They are different than us, which means they
can’t be trusted.” (sung by Kekata)
·
OH
MY GOSH I never understand the purpose of the compass until now! It’s like her
dream coming to life. Wow, I am so slow. (I also haven’t seen this since I was
10, so)
·
I
guess war would’ve come anyways even if Pocahontas had not met John Smith so I
am now not as upset that she was so reckless at the beginning.
·
Ratcliffe
strikes again with his terrible ideas. Please someone stop him
·
They
don’t show bullet wounds in this movie, interesting.
·
RED
EYES!! Ratcliffe had red eyes when they chained him and threw him in the boat!
·
I
KNEW IT the dog couldn’t be permanently evil. He’s so sweet now
·
They
kiss right there, in front of everyone… wow bold
