I was just a little kid, but nobody was happy about this thing. And goddamn. Y'all knocked it out of the park. Applause to whoever sang that riff. That was amazing.

"Comes a stinker that kicked off a decade of garbage" How dare you, Hunchback of Notre Dame and Lilo & Stitch are some of Disney's best works and come from this era
I don't think they meant that they exclusively made garbage, it's just that during the "Disney Renaissance," ALL of their movies were hits, both critically and commercially. Besides, Emperor's New Groove is from the same era, and that's singlehandedly Disney's best movie.

One of the funniest things about this movie was how she learned to speak English just by listening with her heart 😂 although I will say I found how Pocahontas and her tribe were so deeply connected with their land was displayed very beautifully
When I was a kid this movie actually made me appreciate nature more. I never cared about the love story, and I was too young to really grasp the inaccurate historical details. I just cared about being one with the earth, lol.

And Disney was hoping this could be a Best Picture contender. 😂 The Lion King was considered the B-tier movie, with animators wanting to move up to work on Pocahontas.
You forgot to mention the part at the end where she gives him willow bark to help him with the pain of his gunshot wound. Willow bark is what aspirin is derived from. That's right, aspirin for a bullet wound.
My family are full blooded natives, Paiute tribe and Choctaw and my mom unironically loves this movie! She has collectibles, dolls, the movie poster in a frame. I tell her that the movie is complete bull crap, but she still likes it. Probably why I'm like that with my love of Star Wars. I thought Pocahontas was okay, the animal shenanigans always got a chuckle out of me.
It's a really nostalgic film for me and it looks gorgeous! Plus I actually love the music in it. It definitely has a lot of problems, but I still love it anyway

There is one good line in that song: “If you walk the footsteps of another, you’ll learn thing you never knew you never knew “ - I like that one sentence in this movie. Edit: I made a mistake above and since this is getting a lot more attention than I expected here is the full correct line of the song: “You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you, but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.”

Pocahontas is a disgusting white washing movie that uses a real little girl to be in a "mature love story" with her kidnapper and r*pist. A man who betrayed her tribe several times and kidnapped her and brainwashed her into essentially OG Stockholm Syndrome.

Pocahontas was a great movie about a strong woman having the courage to go up against her father and protect someone she loved to stop a war. If you listen to the song paint with all the colors of the wind you hear a wise woman who uses compassion and love to get someone who never questioned their actions or beliefs to change their mind. The music and movie are amazing, and make pocahontas one of my favorite Disney movies.
Agreed - it’s a classic. I realize it isn’t historically accurate, but most people who complain about it haven’t even seen the movie - typical herd mentality.
@@rb4128 I saw the movie when I was a kid and loved it but after learning more about what actually happened I recognize how insulting it is to have used the life of a real girl who was exploited terribly by colonizers to tell a watered-down story that downplayed how awful and violent colonization was for the indigenous peoples so they can tell a false story of *checks notes* 'a strong woman having the courage to go up against her father and protect someone she loved to stop a war.'
It is kind of funny that they were hoping that this would be the best picture winner and considered the best animated movie ever, but instead The Lion King would be considered one of the best animated movies ever. In this movie’s defense, the animation still looks lovely even today, and the music and songs are still amazing.
Same. I know it is far from beeing historically accurate. Don't know if anything except Pocahontas beeing a native American is true in the movie. But I just love it. It does not have to be true to be a good movie.
Also, I declare blasphemy on Brother Bear (can teach Pixar about a thing or two about emotionally wrenching characters), Bolt (fun) and Meet the Robinsons (one of the best twist endings in animation)
In memory of Jason David Frank, say "No, not this time. This time it's different. I'm at the end of the ropes, guys. Lord Zedd's had it in for me since the beginning... and he's closing in..."
I like this movie. It's not the most amazing thing to come out of Disney, but it's still enjoyable. My two favorite songs from it are "Colors of the Wind" and "Savages".
That movie is adorable and the songs always feels comforting. I think this movie speaks to a lot of kids out there that felt isolated for being different and give them hope that it is still possible to make strong lasting connections with others in spite of it.
The worst part is that they clearly did SOME research. Almost every named character was an actual person in that area around that time. Shocked me when I found out in my history class lol
I'd actually learned the history before I saw the movie, so I knew it'd be Disney-fied with historical inaccuracies. At the time, it was a good movie. Unfortunately, it seems to not age well at all.
It's a shame it takes a "both sides are at fault" view on,,,, colonialism and genocide (it IS catchy, And I'm sure there are really good native parodies of it out there if you want a different version to hum lol)
The songs are memorable. You're not wrong about Pocahontas being land Little Mermaid. "The Maize Runner" had me dying 🤣🤣 Badass, hot native woman threatens my life in detail Me: guess I found the perfect wife
John Smith spends a good chunk of the film bragging about how great he is at killing "savages". Other Disney villains are saints in comparison, Judge Frollo would be proud.
It's part of his classic hero's journey. Start off being a full-blown douchebag, meet someone who challenges his worldview, fall in love and then make slight improvements to that worldview. It's the exact same plot given to the prince in Ella Enchanted for example except he's SLIGHTLY less of a douchebag at the beginning.
@@MrBrock314 There’s a slight difference between being a douchebag and an outright colonizing war criminal whose motivation is nothing but pursuing gold and riches. His whole character arc consists of having the hots for a native woman, not gaining genuine compassion and understanding of native people and their cultures. The movie doesn’t delve into his backstory at all, perhaps if he was someone who grew up destitute and was recruited by Radcliffe with promises of a better life for his family and then exploited and forced to kill people, maybe he’d have some redeeming value. But no, he’s just a greedy bastard who absolutely enjoyed killing “Indjuns”. He’s an irredeemable POS.
It amazes me how different the reception of this movie is in the US. Where I'm from Pocahontas used to be the 2nd most liked Disney movie (after Lion King) and Colors of the Wind was the most well known song out of all their movies until Frozen came out. I don't think I know any person who knows a single song from Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast which seem to be the ones you guys favored.
Your people don't know Under the Sea or Be Our Guest??? That's wild. Colors of the Wind is the main good song from Pocahontas, most of the songs suck. Little Mermaid has Part of your world, Poor Unfortunate Souls...Kiss the Girl??? Honestly has zero flops. B and the B has Be Our Guest, Gaston is always fun, and of course 'beauty and the beaaast' which is universally loved by kids and adults
Chicken Little and Bolt might be just nostalgia, maybe brother bear is more problematic than I remember, but Tarzan, Home on The Range and Meet the Robinsons are GOLD
@@rubz1390 I hope it isn't, cause I still remember it fondly, but then again, the last time I saw it was more than 10y ago and it was a movie made in the 2000's about First Nations people, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they weren't sensible while making it
Okay, Honest Trailers, I'm going to call you out on this one. Haha! The Frozen Honest Trailer notes 18 years since the last good Disney musical - Pocahontas~!! Great job on the trailers, but you guys are so good I had to mention this. Thank you for all the hard work!
Tarzan was not garbage. In fact I dare the epic voice guy to say “No matter where I go, you’ll always be my mother.” and not cry. You can’t unless you don’t have a soul. Haha
I know it’s terribly historically inaccurate but most musicals even loosely based on history are. (Finding Neverland & Greatest Showman, for example.) I’m not saying it didn’t have problems, but for the time, it did fairly well. They actually got native actors to do some of the lead voices and asked for their input. Pocahontas was and still is one of my favorites.
My mom was so mad when this movie came out. We had to have a family meeting about how Pocahontas was a little girl and was definitely NOT in love with John Smith.
Na this leaves the realms of being ‘loosely based’ altogether. It basically flipped the story upside down and sensationalised it to no end. 😭 there’s no redeeming this one
I once saw somewhere that one of the native VAs, I think it the voice of Pocahontas' father, said it was one of the better portrayals of Native Americans in cinema up to that point. I guess these days his opinion and the opinion of Natives who worked on the film or like it in one way or another doesn't matter, only the opinion of those who are offended by the movie lol.
@@Jaheartsjonas nah, there's a podcast i listen to with native people at it's head and they talk about their experience, it's very split with some liking the fact native people are in it at all and some hating it because it's an insult to them, with the vast majority being the latter. You could say the same thing about native actors for old televisions shows about the frontier but it doesn't make it any less exploitative or revisionist
They asked natives for their input then dismissed it. The natives went on to say they wish they had never spoken to them. It's truly awful what was done. The real Pocahontas was trafficked, then 400 years later, her descendants were sexualized and commodified.
"The real colonizer was love all along" got me. Got me good.
Not wrong, people are starting to figure it out!
Hahaha that got me too

Have you seen Bolt? One of my all time faves, along with Meet the Robinsons, and Megamind. And home on the range wasn’t THAT bad. This guy’s funny, but he has horrible taste, lol.
How come brother bear is not mentioned by anyone
@@kingbokor idk never saw it, isn’t it like Brave? Weird magic stuff? Never saw brave either, lol
And so is Pocahontas.
@@KeilaBevins Well no not like brave but still fun all the same. Its about respecting nature and stuff.
I'm pretty sure you can guess anyone's age based on what era of Disney they think is garbage
Ok, all the non-animated Disney movies are garbage. Whats my age?
@@hubertnnn Heh. I'm going to guess younger than the first Mary Poppins and High School Musical, but older than the remakes of those movies.

Can't believe Pocahontas got an honest trailer before The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Please say, “Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger” in honor of Jason David Frank.
Hearing him calling Tarzan "Garbage" is probably the most surreal thing i heard today.
The boxoffice and Rotten Tomatoes would disagree with that.
If he said Tarzan & Jane, yea. That threw me off.
@@writerpatrick pretty the box office says Treasure Planet isn't good and that avengers end game is so I'm not listening to anything the box office says. But that's just me 😅
@@writerpatrick 89% and 75% are garbage?
Pocahontas was a great movie about a strong woman having the courage to go up against her father and protect someone she loved to stop a war.
If you listen to the song paint with all the colors of the wind you hear a wise woman who uses compassion and love to get someone who never questioned their actions or beliefs to change their mind.
The music and movie are amazing, and make pocahontas one of my favorite Disney movies.
Agreed - it’s a classic. I realize it isn’t historically accurate, but most people who complain about it haven’t even seen the movie - typical herd mentality.
@@rb4128 I saw the movie when I was a kid and loved it but after learning more about what actually happened I recognize how insulting it is to have used the life of a real girl who was exploited terribly by colonizers to tell a watered-down story that downplayed how awful and violent colonization was for the indigenous peoples so they can tell a false story of *checks notes* 'a strong woman having the courage to go up against her father and protect someone she loved to stop a war.'
It is kind of funny that they were hoping that this would be the best picture winner and considered the best animated movie ever, but instead The Lion King would be considered one of the best animated movies ever.
In this movie’s defense, the animation still looks lovely even today, and the music and songs are still amazing.
Pocahontas and Lion King are both amazing visual movies and were excellent movies to watch in the mid/late-1990s.
Maybe this movie would've done better if they'd had Timon & Pumba in it. Those 2 are like Statler & Waldorf (from the muppets)!😆
You got me with the "Exactly what TLC warned us not to do" line.
Colors of the wind Is by far the best song of Disney movies. Too underrated.
This was one of my favorite childhood movies so I accept its flaws, but still love it.
I feel the same way U homie.
Birds of a feather flockkk together I suppose @@isaackinne1971
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 is that a nice compliment?
Same. I love Pocahontas! Even though its far from a perfect movie
Same. I know it is far from beeing historically accurate. Don't know if anything except Pocahontas beeing a native American is true in the movie. But I just love it. It does not have to be true to be a good movie.
Well, it didn’t take long for them to let us know what they think of it 😂
Facts. Realistically speaking, this movie is HORRIBLE 🤣🤣💯
If U R 1 of the MANY people who hate this film, U have not right 2 call yourself an animation or Disney fan.
And I wholeheartedly agree with them!
@@mori1bund good for you then
@@isaackinne1971 It's like doing a love story between a Nazi and a Jewish person in the Holocaust
I need a full version of the colors of the wind remix 🤣🤣🤣
Also, I declare blasphemy on Brother Bear (can teach Pixar about a thing or two about emotionally wrenching characters), Bolt (fun) and Meet the Robinsons (one of the best twist endings in animation)
For your true NDN fans, please say in your awesome voice: "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd, even if you have all the medicine."
Please review real NDN tv, Rez Dogs is amazing!
Aho ScreenJunkies! Stoodis!
Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".
In memory of Jason David Frank, say "No, not this time. This time it's different. I'm at the end of the ropes, guys. Lord Zedd's had it in for me since the beginning... and he's closing in..."
It feels both wrong and spot on to say that this Honest Trailer was savage.
The Tarzan slander in the beginning 😭😂
Please say “We’re going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu!”
There's a movie called "Thankskilling".😃
Say what you want about this film, colors of the wind is one of the best Disney songs ever made
True.
Agreed. It's there with "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan.
Agreed! 💯
I also love savages, 😅 I know I know
honestly, I prefer Savages out of pocahontas.
I like this movie. It's not the most amazing thing to come out of Disney, but it's still enjoyable.
My two favorite songs from it are "Colors of the Wind" and "Savages".
Tarzan is great!
One of my favorite 2D animated movies of all time.
That movie is adorable and the songs always feels comforting. I think this movie speaks to a lot of kids out there that felt isolated for being different and give them hope that it is still possible to make strong lasting connections with others in spite of it.
How dare you call Tarzan, Meet the Robinsons, and Brother Bear garbage!
“Exactly what TLC warned us not to do” was underrated :))
Okay whoever sang the parody song Needs a raise. It was brilliant. Please list in info box so we can properly thank them!
It sucked and wasn't funny at all
@@GhostNet0997 an edgelord has entered the chat.
@@GhostNet0997 you seem offended
Ugh the voice was terrible.
it was way off pitch...
The worst part is that they clearly did SOME research. Almost every named character was an actual person in that area around that time. Shocked me when I found out in my history class lol
Yeah apparently the real Kocoum was probably her husband before she was kidnapped and Stockholm Syndromed into marrying John Rolph.
I'd actually learned the history before I saw the movie, so I knew it'd be Disney-fied with historical inaccuracies. At the time, it was a good movie. Unfortunately, it seems to not age well at all.
Give us that song by itself, please!!! Also, thank you for creating a movie plot I'd love to see. Grind them bones!
I actually really like "Savages", it's the best song in the movie. The visuals are great and the lyrics are really catchy.
It is a great song. It would also have a great message... if it weren't being applied to the actual genocide of Native Americans.
I sing it referring to my children 🤭😂
I like that song too. Plus, "sandwiches" subs out easily for "savages" while you're making lunch...((ahem)).
Then you'll love that Zog machine song Seth sings in American History X
It's a shame it takes a "both sides are at fault" view on,,,, colonialism and genocide (it IS catchy, And I'm sure there are really good native parodies of it out there if you want a different version to hum lol)
“Mine, mine, mine” is an absolute bop and you cannot tell me otherwise.
Okay but her Threatening Wind song SLAPS 😂
Whoever sang Pocahontas was pretty good.
Judy Khun and Vanessa Williams☺️
They R more than good. They're amazing.
@@IndomitableT I think he meant they parody song version
That was the Epic Voice Guy. What a range, huh?
No hate, I just disagree.
Or at least, I didn't find her a good fit.
The songs are memorable. You're not wrong about Pocahontas being land Little Mermaid. "The Maize Runner" had me dying 🤣🤣
Badass, hot native woman threatens my life in detail
Me: guess I found the perfect wife
Dude I'm not gonna lie, I didn't know that Christian Bale was in Pocahontas.
That "Color of the Wind" parody had me cracking up. Well done.
Yup, You love that fantasizing about torturing them "Wyte Devils" to death don't you?
I love Pocahontas, but this was funny. Also, the end song If I Never Knew You by John Secada and Shanice is amazing.
Still my fave duet in a Disney movie.
@@_sarcasmiss2141 It was a good song.
I love that song
OMG that song... OMG i need that played somewhere in my life for a special occasion... Ugh, love it.
John Smith spends a good chunk of the film bragging about how great he is at killing "savages". Other Disney villains are saints in comparison, Judge Frollo would be proud.
It's part of his classic hero's journey. Start off being a full-blown douchebag, meet someone who challenges his worldview, fall in love and then make slight improvements to that worldview. It's the exact same plot given to the prince in Ella Enchanted for example except he's SLIGHTLY less of a douchebag at the beginning.
@@MrBrock314 There’s a slight difference between being a douchebag and an outright colonizing war criminal whose motivation is nothing but pursuing gold and riches. His whole character arc consists of having the hots for a native woman, not gaining genuine compassion and understanding of native people and their cultures. The movie doesn’t delve into his backstory at all, perhaps if he was someone who grew up destitute and was recruited by Radcliffe with promises of a better life for his family and then exploited and forced to kill people, maybe he’d have some redeeming value. But no, he’s just a greedy bastard who absolutely enjoyed killing “Indjuns”. He’s an irredeemable POS.
Not the best of the era, but definitely not the worst.
Also, I stan for Tarzan.
It amazes me how different the reception of this movie is in the US. Where I'm from Pocahontas used to be the 2nd most liked Disney movie (after Lion King) and Colors of the Wind was the most well known song out of all their movies until Frozen came out. I don't think I know any person who knows a single song from Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast which seem to be the ones you guys favored.
Your people don't know Under the Sea or Be Our Guest??? That's wild. Colors of the Wind is the main good song from Pocahontas, most of the songs suck. Little Mermaid has Part of your world, Poor Unfortunate Souls...Kiss the Girl??? Honestly has zero flops. B and the B has Be Our Guest, Gaston is always fun, and of course 'beauty and the beaaast' which is universally loved by kids and adults
I’m 39 and JUST discovered that Mel Gibson was the voice actor for John Smith. 😅
And Christian Bale was his buddy, Thomas
And he wasnt born in australia
@@BenHopkins1000 My mind continues being blown 🤯
Y'know, "Love in a Time of Colonization," would've actually made for a great Honest Title at the end. 😆
Edit: I guess "Love at First White" works too.
Yeah, an almost B-Movie vampire comedy from the late 70s starring George Hamilton, is more cerebral.
IMO 😉
Pocajohntas 😂 best celebrity relationship name yet.
Chicken Little and Bolt might be just nostalgia, maybe brother bear is more problematic than I remember, but Tarzan, Home on The Range and Meet the Robinsons are GOLD
No, not Home on the Range that was terrible except for the Villian, but Tarzan and Meet the Robinson are gold.
What was wrong with brother bear?
How is brother bear problematic?
@@sebastiantrias1529 maybe the translation to portuguese gave em a glow up but the songs are all slaps
@@rubz1390 I hope it isn't, cause I still remember it fondly, but then again, the last time I saw it was more than 10y ago and it was a movie made in the 2000's about First Nations people, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they weren't sensible while making it
Man you guys timed that Bob Chapek joke well
This comment deserves more attention
You forgot about, "Just Around the River Bend," and "Savages," which were great songs.
Okay, Honest Trailers, I'm going to call you out on this one. Haha! The Frozen Honest Trailer notes 18 years since the last good Disney musical - Pocahontas~!! Great job on the trailers, but you guys are so good I had to mention this. Thank you for all the hard work!
Exactly
Meet the Robinsons was amazing!
"They all hated me,"
That Song made me sooo happy! 😂
I loved the scene where she goes to see off John Smith. She's standing on a cliff. THERE ARE NO CLIFFS NEXT TO THE OCEAN IN THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY!
And there was multi rapes, and cages for pocahontas what's your point who was about 12 but there missing from the movie too
Outrageous! Cliffs! We know in that part of the country there are only talking trees and raccoons and hummingbirds being friends!
According to Assassin’s creed which is canon for Earth history, there are lots of cliffs!
are you perhaps a part-time jackal?
Exactly! I'd like to know where in TIDEWATER VIRGINIA has majestic cliffs?!?
The movie is not without flaws, but growing up it was my favorite film and I still love it to death
I'm with U!
This is definitely better than the movie. The only thing this movie did is stoke my curiosity to learn the true story of Pocahontas.
Tarzan was not garbage. In fact I dare the epic voice guy to say “No matter where I go, you’ll always be my mother.” and not cry. You can’t unless you don’t have a soul. Haha
Love at first White is absolutely gold! Thanks for providing us each week with these even after all this time 😊
U don't hate it do U?
@@isaackinne1971 How do you mean? I do not hate it, it was a very creative title and I found it funny :)
@@OrdinarySpeaker o ok. Sorry. I really love this film 2. I was just asking.
@@OrdinarySpeaker I was asking if U hat the film.
@@isaackinne1971 No no, I don't hate the movie. The "honest" title was just brilliant.
That parody song was glorious lmao.
Easily the best part of this video
I know it’s terribly historically inaccurate but most musicals even loosely based on history are. (Finding Neverland & Greatest Showman, for example.) I’m not saying it didn’t have problems, but for the time, it did fairly well. They actually got native actors to do some of the lead voices and asked for their input. Pocahontas was and still is one of my favorites.
My mom was so mad when this movie came out. We had to have a family meeting about how Pocahontas was a little girl and was definitely NOT in love with John Smith.
Na this leaves the realms of being ‘loosely based’ altogether. It basically flipped the story upside down and sensationalised it to no end. 😭 there’s no redeeming this one
I once saw somewhere that one of the native VAs, I think it the voice of Pocahontas' father, said it was one of the better portrayals of Native Americans in cinema up to that point. I guess these days his opinion and the opinion of Natives who worked on the film or like it in one way or another doesn't matter, only the opinion of those who are offended by the movie lol.
@@Jaheartsjonas nah, there's a podcast i listen to with native people at it's head and they talk about their experience, it's very split with some liking the fact native people are in it at all and some hating it because it's an insult to them, with the vast majority being the latter. You could say the same thing about native actors for old televisions shows about the frontier but it doesn't make it any less exploitative or revisionist
They asked natives for their input then dismissed it. The natives went on to say they wish they had never spoken to them. It's truly awful what was done. The real Pocahontas was trafficked, then 400 years later, her descendants were sexualized and commodified.
