It really is amazing just how different the portrayal of a character in history to film differs, or at least things that they did.  Disney portrays attacking Natives and fighting Englishmen, who have no problems with food or staying alive.  John Smith meets a grown up Pocahontas, not a 10 year old.  I guess they thought it would make for a better story.  --Ashley Wilkins

This reading felt more like a trading journal, which I suppose is mostly what they did at the time. Pocahontas is such a minor character that she is only mentioned twice by name. She doesn't seem to have made a large impact on him, if any at all, actually. It doesn't even appear that they can speak to each other, begging the question.. where did Disney come up with this storyline? --Amanda Russell
