Pocahontas


As we watched this movie today I realized that it is the only Disney movie I know of where the main characters do not end up together at the end. Weird. Not only do they not end up together at the end of the first movie, but then Pocahontas ditches John Smith in the 2nd movie for John Rolfe. Now I know that it's based off of a real life story so Disney couldn't really change that...but seriously that's so sad! And what are the odds that the guy she ends up with has the same name as the guy she loved in the first movie? Maybe I feel a little bitter because that's how real life is most of the time. Most people don't marry the first person they ever date, or even the first person they ever love. Plus also, I have my own story with ending up with a guy who has the same name as the first person I dated. Awkward. Anyway, usually I think I go to the movies or watch TV to get away from reality, to feel like magic is real, to see people living happily ever after...


But ya know what?...we CaN have a happily ever after in real life because of the gospel! Latter day Saints are basically Disney characters! Hmmm cool.

  1. The ending of this movie IS unsatisfying... but I kind of like it because it sets it apart from all the other Disney movies that end with happily ever after! This is by far one of my favorite Disney movies!
