Disney movies are generally a hit with children and adults alike. Some were so successful that Disney is now considering remakes of many, and some of these remakes are already underway. One of the films that are rumored to have a remake in progress is Pocahontas, so what do we know about this so far? Fans of Disney movies will probably remember the release of ‘Pocahontas’ back in 1995. Even those who had not been born at that time have probably seen it since. The film was a fictional account of the historical encounter between the Jamestown settlers and Englishman John Smith. This animated musical romantic drama film was co-directed by Mike Gabriel, and Eric Goldberg, and co-written by Carl Binder, Susannah Grant, and Philip LaZebnik.
The speaking voice of Pocahontas was provided by Irene Bredard, while Judy Kuhn was the lead character’s singing voice. Others who provided voices for the original film included Mel Gibson , David Ogden Stiers, John Kassir, and Russell Means. ‘Pocahontas’ was a big hit, both critically and commercially. Critics gave it predominantly positive reviews and the box office figures were excellent. In fact, this movie grossed $346.1 million at the worldwide box office from a budget of just $55 million.
Back in May 2019, Digital Spy reported that it was unlikely that ‘Pocahontas’ would get a live-action remake like many other Disney classics . This report was based on comments made by Alan Menken, who is the legendary composer of the music in Pocahontas, as well as the composer for many other Disney movies. Menken said that although many other Disney films were getting a remake, he thought remaking Pocahontas would create too many difficulties. He did not think the storyline would fit well in today’s society and he believes that it is likely to cause offense to somebody. However, it now seems that this is the opinion of just one man rather than a hint towards what is really happening with the Disney movies. Since Menken made these comments, rumors began to arise that suggest that a Pocahontas remake is a reality.
Elite Daily is one source reporting that a Pocahontas remake is underway. It is hoped that this will follow on from the success of other Disney classics that have been reimagined as live-action movies in recent years, including ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Dumbo’, ‘Aladdin’, and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. As yet, ‘Pocahontas’ is one of only a few Disney films from the 1990s that has not been confirmed as being remade as a live-action movie. However, new reports suggest that this movie is already underway and that Disney has simply been keeping it under wraps. The reports also say that they are already looking for a Native American actress to play the lead role in the remake.
Fans of the original may have a shock, though, as it is believed that the new movie will differ significantly from the original in terms of its storyline. It is intended that the new movie will have greater historical accuracy than the original, which was simply a fictional story based on historical events. This would mean that the new movie focuses less on a romantic love story as there is no historic evidence that Pocahontas and John Smith ever had a romantic relationship.
Another film based on historical characters and events that Disney is reimagining as a live-action movie is ‘Mulan’. In the original, the true story of the Chinese warrior is only a loose basis for the story, and the Disney film adds elements of silliness, such as talking animals and characters breaking into song for no reason. The rumor is that the remake will adhere more closely to the true story of the Chinese warrior of Mulan and will include fewer silly distractions from the storyline.
With this in mind, it is possible that the remake of Pocahontas will also remove many of the overly fantastical and silly features of the film, such as Pocahontas’ talking animal friends. However, the exact approach that Disney will take is not known as the remake is only rumored at this time. This also means that there are many other details about a potential ‘Pocahontas’ remake that have not yet been revealed. Until it is officially announced that the remake is underway, Disney fans will simply have to show patience with regards to the details of the movie.
In the meantime, Disney fans still have several other Disney film remakes to look forward to, says Oprah Magazine . The first one of these to hit movie theaters is ‘The Lion King’, released on July 19, 2019. Earl Jones is once again voicing Mufasa, while Donald Glover is Simba and Beyoncé is Nala. The film is directed by Jon Favreau , who also directed the 2016 live-action remake of ‘The Jungle Book’.
Later in the year, Disney fans can also look forward to the live-action remake of the 1955 animation ‘Lady and the Tramp’. This is set for release on November 12, 2019. However, this will make its debut on the upcoming Disney streaming service, Disney+, rather than at movie theaters. Those starring in the film include Justin Theroux, Tessa Thompson, Sam Elliot, Janelle Monae, and Yvette Nicole Brown.
Another film on which Disney is currently working is ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’, although this is a sequel to the 2014 film ‘Maleficent’ rather than a remake. The original gave a character from the classic ‘Sleeping Beauty’ film of 1959 her own storyline. Angelina will be reprising the lead role of Maleficent for the sequel, and others starring in the film include Michelle Pfeiffer , Elle Fanning , and Chiwetel Ejiofor. This film is set for release on October 18, 1959.
Furthermore, it is rumored that they are making a film called ‘Cruella’, which is giving the villain from ‘101 Dalmatians’ her own movie. It is believed that this film will be released sometime in 2020. Overall, there is plenty for Disney fans to look forward to in the coming year.

Although Pocahontas was not a princess in the context of Powhatan culture, the Virginia Company nevertheless presented her as a princess to the English public. The inscription on a 1616 engraving of Pocahontas, made for the company, reads: "MATOAKA ALS REBECCA FILIA POTENTISS : PRINC : POWHATANI IMP:VIRGINIÆ", which means: "Matoaka, alias Rebecca, daughter of the most powerful prince of the Powhatan Empire of Virginia."

In 1995, Roy Disney decided to release an animated movie about a Powhatan woman known as "Pocahontas". In answer to a complaint by the Powhatan Nation, he claims the film is "responsible, accurate, and respectful."
We of the Powhatan Nation disagree. The film distorts history beyond recognition. Our offers to assist Disney with cultural and historical accuracy were rejected. Our efforts urging him to reconsider his misguided mission were spurred.
"Pocahontas" was a nickname, meaning "the naughty one" or "spoiled child". Her real name was Matoaka. The legend is that she saved a heroic John Smith from being clubbed to death by her father in 1607 - she would have been about 10 or 11 at the time. The truth is that Smith's fellow colonists described him as an abrasive, ambitious, self-promoting mercenary soldier.
Of all of Powhatan's children, only "Pocahontas" is known, primarily because she became the hero of Euro-Americans as the "good Indian", one who saved the life of a white man. Not only is the "good Indian/bad Indian theme" inevitably given new life by Disney, but the history, as recorded by the English themselves, is badly falsified in the name of "entertainment".
The truth of the matter is that the first time John Smith told the story about this rescue was 17 years after it happened, and it was but one of three reported by the pretentious Smith that he was saved from death by a prominent woman.
Yet in an account Smith wrote after his winter stay with Powhatan's people, he never mentioned such an incident. In fact, the starving adventurer reported he had been kept comfortable and treated in a friendly fashion as an honored guest of Powhatan and Powhatan's brothers. Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.
Euro-Americans must ask themselves why it has been so important to elevate Smith's fibbing to status as a national myth worthy of being recycled again by Disney. Disney even improves upon it by changing Pocahontas from a little girl into a young woman.
The true Pocahontas story has a sad ending. In 1612, at the age of 17, Pocahontas was treacherously taken prisoner by the English while she was on a social visit, and was held hostage at Jamestown for over a year.
During her captivity, a 28-year-old widower named John Rolfe took a "special interest" in the attractive young prisoner. As a condition of her release, she agreed to marry Rolfe, who the world can thank for commercializing tobacco. Thus, in April 1614, Matoaka, also known as "Pocahontas", daughter of Chief Powhatan, became "Rebecca Rolfe". Shortly after, they had a son, whom they named Thomas Rolfe. The descendants of Pocahontas and John Rolfe were known as the "Red Rolfes."
Two years later on the spring of 1616, Rolfe took her to England where the Virginia Company of London used her in their propaganda campaign to support the colony. She was wined and dined and taken to theaters. It was recorded that on one occasion when she encountered John Smith (who was also in London at the time), she was so furious with him that she turned her back to him, hid her face, and went off by herself for several hours. Later, in a second encounter, she called him a liar and showed him the door.
Rolfe, his young wife, and their son set off for Virginia in March of 1617, but "Rebecca" had to be taken off the ship at Gravesend. She died there on March 21, 1617, at the age of 21. She was buried at Gravesend, but the grave was destroyed in a reconstruction of the church. It was only after her death and her fame in London society that Smith found it convenient to invent the yarn that she had rescued him.
History tells the rest. Chief Powhatan died the following spring of 1618. The people of Smith and Rolfe turned upon the people who had shared their resources with them and had shown them friendship. During Pocahontas' generation, Powhatan's people were decimated and dispersed and their lands were taken over. A clear pattern had been set which would soon spread across the American continent.
It is unfortunate that this sad story, which Euro-Americans should find embarrassing, Disney makes "entertainment" and perpetuates a dishonest and self-serving myth at the expense of the Powhatan Nation.
The original burial registry indicates that Pocahontas was interred on 17 Mar 1617 in a vault beneath the Chancellery of the Church in Gravesend, England, which shows the esteem in which she was held. A representative of the church stated "you don't get buried under a church in a private vault unless you are quite important." The church burned in 1727 and a new one was built on the same site. Several graves were opened during the construction and the remains were re-interred in the church courtyard. There is no record indicating which graves from the hundreds on site were moved. Many of those were moved again in 1890 when an addition to the church was built. So, it is not exactly known where her bones are, as stated by Gravesend Chamber of Commerce Director Graham Sawell said. "We believe they may be underneath the church, but without digging up the whole thing, we will never find them"
There is positive and indisputable proof (Strong Words for Genealogy) that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra (?Matachanna). This proofwas located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years. During the period covered by the fragment, matters became so bad between the Whites and the Indians that Opechancanough , Chief of the Powhatans, was induced to agree upon a line being established which neither White nor Indian, excepting truce bearers, should cross under penalty of
