The Little Mermaid is not pretty at all either! You are so right! But I guess... there's so much sadness in our world. Disney is about bringing some joy, don't you think?Maggielle;140 said:Nothing fires me up more than the way Disney feels the need to pretty up legends, myths, and fairytales. Where do you think our children will be when they have to learn the truth behind Pocahontas. I just feel that these stories were created and live on to teach us about life and history. If we change them to get ratings what will future generations be left with? A bunch of DVD's?
I'm a huge Disney fan who loves their retelling of the fairy tales. But the story of Pocahantas is a piece of American history. I do not like what they did with that story. They have misguided a generation of children with regards to John Smith and his 13 year old bride he forced to go to England where she died from a disease her tribe would never have encountered had the Europeans not invaded.Maggielle;140 said:Where do you think our children will be when they have to learn the truth behind Pocahontas.
