And with Pocahontas II...I don't know, lol. That whole movie had me going "O_O". John Smith, who? I know that's not who she really was with, but still, lol. "We once crossed paths before...now I have to choose this other guy I just met cause he's haaawt. I thought you were dead. Sorry!"
Pocahontas two makes me angry EVERY SINGLE time. becuse John SMith would NOT say the stuff he did! and nether would Pocahontas! so... I pretend like it does not exist.

Well, it's implied that there has been a bit of time that has passed between the first and second Pocahontas films. Maybe after the fling they calmed down and backed away and said "wait, is this what we really want"? Plus, in real life, she was only 12 or so when she first met Smith, and she really did marry Kocoum. We don't whatever happened to that marriage, there's no information beyond them getting married, but no more than a year later she was taken into captivity as sort of collateral. There she waited for a year or so and met John Rolfe, who she also married, so it's assumed that there was some sort of divorce or Kocoum's death. Or it could very well be that the English didn't recognize that there was a marriage between them as it wasn't with their religion and customs. They were married only for a couple of years until she died at age 22, I think it was smallpox

The actual story of "Sleeping Beauty" is a great read too. XD Oh! And the Romanovs depicited in "Anastasia" from Fox? Ahahaha, go research them for a bit.
Yes, I agree. Disney does make the world all pretty, but that's so they can blind us with the shine as they take over the globe, one maimed fairy tale at a time. ^^

I didn't touch Anastasia because it's not Disney but yes, obviously there was no "curse" and they were all shot and killed in 1918 in the countryside, not the day after the October Revolution in St. Petersburg as was depicted in the film. Interesting enough, however, people had a damn hard time trying to kill Rasputin, so the him-not-dying and coming back to life in the film was a remotely amusing hark to the real life events. There were many assasination attempts by palace officials (though very recently there was a report that claimed that it was actually British intelligence, but I'm not sure how true that is) that never went through because he was virtually indestructable. The guy was towering aroud 6'7" or so, and when they finally did kill him in 1916 he was poisoned, thrown in the freezing river for a few miles, and then beaten and shot

Actually in the earliest form of of the Sleeping Beauty text, Germanic I think, a king finds a sleeping beauty in the woods in a forgotten castle and, 'cause she's so pretty, he sleeps with her thinking she is dead. This goes on for awhile, everytime he finds himself in that part of the woods he makes a dead-girl booty call. She ends up having twins (who fairies take care of) and the curse is broken somehow later... glah, I can't remember. I just remember she sleeps through childbirth and rearing...
they're making a third little mermaid about BEFORE the prince eric thing. Heard it direct from Jodi Benson's mouth when she was at my school. Crazy. I wonder just how bad that one is gunna be... >.< lol.
Great icons! They're making a Little Mermaid 3? For Christs Sake...Stop adding on to the classic movies. Disney isn't near as good as they were at one time so they should really just stop trying...I love the Little Mermaid. But hey, compared to most of the Disney Sequels the Little Mermaid 2 wasn't too bad. And the Lion King 2 kicked ass, I love that movie. Meh, the third one sounds stupid though.
