You know, despite how a Pocahontas remake will most likely never happen, at least it would`ve been more plausible than a Hunchback remake. Regardless of what a risktaker Pocahontas was back at it`s release, it still was less controversial than Hunchback as a whole. Sure, Pocahontas had many scrutinies (historical inaccuracy, racial controversy, ect), but the chances Hunchback took were way more radical, as Hunchback went far into the lengths of showing sexual content. And regardless of how Pocahontas is perceived as a minor Black Sheep of the Renaissance, it still was a huge hit commercially back on it`s release. While it didn`t outgross it`s predecessors, it still was a hit ($141,579,773 Domestically and $346,079,773 Worldwide). Even more than Hunchback.Woodrow Pride wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 5:13 pm Honestly, I wouldn’t be sad if they made a Pocahontas remake; it seems like it would really work live-action. Although, a historically accurate film wouldn’t make that much sense because the film derives a ton from history. I mean, John Smith and Pocahontas were never actually romantically involved, which is pretty much the core of the story, right? I’d think it’d probably be too much of a headache to figure those kinds of things out that Disney just won’t do it. Plus, portraying Native Americans is a little risky in itself, because if they do anything wrong, they will be roasted.
And yeah, personally I wouldn`t mind a Pocahontas remake. Because it`s always been of my favorites (yes, I`m not ashamed to admit it). But due to it`s staple, it`s not likely to happen.
