Poca and John

Can I just say that Pocahontas is just about the most unfulfilling Disney Princess movie ever?
First, Poca (I'm just going to give her that nickname from now on. Pocahontas is way too long to spell out ten times and now I've done it twice. Yay.) won't marry the wonder-boy of the Indians, Kocoum-who is pretty hot in my eyes- because he is too "serious".
 Um, first point: He was "so serious" as apposed to John Smith, who was like, what, a clown or something?? Second point: If he hadn't serious, A BEAR WOULD HAVE EATEN HIM.
   So then Poca and John Smith meet and fall in love( even though he had been about to shoot her. It was good luck for Poca that she wasn't an ugly Indian girl, or he would have just shot right through her. Nice message to kids btw). Then John Smith is just like "Oh, a talking tree. That's nice."
   I guess in every movie when there is a talking tree/ animal, people aren't quite as shocked as they should be(I mean, c'mon, I get scared when my phone vibrates and I'm not expecting it to). But John Smith looks at it for five seconds and just acts like he is meeting Poca's mom or something(which would also have been shocking since her mother is dead.... But I'm sure John would have handled it just fine!!).
    So now we are just going to skip ahead to when John and Poca kiss(on their 3rd or 4th meeting no less) and Kocoum freaks out. As children, we are taught to believe that this is wrong(and kissing someone you've known for 3 days is right...?)
   Um, HELLO! The white guy(who comes from the group of people he thinks is going to kill his whole village) just kissed the girl he's planning on marrying, the girl he's tried several times to protect(a good quality in a guy I think). Romeo never gets any grief for attacking Juliet's cousin that day after they were married, so why can't Kocoum get a little mad?
   And then, it all ends with John Smith being sent home because he, also, was shot. That's great. I guess the "happy ending" was the fact that the Indians and English didn't kill each other, but still! That was a lot of emotional turmoil you went through just to send the love interest home.
   And here's the real kicker: John Smith was never in love with Pocahontas.
   So BASICALLY all Disney did here was lie to children and make them more historically challenged than they already were.
   Yet, I still love this movie... I guess we can complain on and on about the stupid messages/ characters in Disney movies(especially the Princess movies)...but they just ARE. Plus John Smith is really hot, even if he and Pocahontas never fell in love in real life, and the art work is gorgeous.

This is such a cool picture- I love pretty much all the art work during the "Colors of the Wind" song
