Pocahontas (1995)
Disney’s animated rendition of Pocahontas, released in 1995, faced controversy due to the extensive alterations made to the historical narrative, as well as the portrayal of John Smith as a heroic figure. More than 25 years later, with easy access to information through smartphones, the film would likely encounter even greater scrutiny and be deemed even more problematic if it were produced in the present era. The availability of historical truths and the heightened emphasis on accurate representation would make it challenging for such a reimagining of the Pocahontas story to gain acceptance.
