Problematic Disney Movies That’ll Make You Question Your Childhood

‘Pocahontas’

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

“Pocahontas” is wildly inaccurate historically. Pocahontas wasn’t even her real name. It was Matoaka. Her tribe kept her real name from white colonizers out of distrust. And in the film, she looks like a grown woman. But in reality, John Smith was in his 20s during the time depicted, while Pocahontas was around 11. Makes child bride Ariel look like a grown-up.
