Re: Pocahontas (explained)

Perhaps the subject line should be retitled "Disney Strikes Again"

As Gail remarked:

> Jungle Book

And that perhaps partly explains my reaction to Pocahontas. Earlier this
summer my husband (an English teacher) and I rented the Jungle Book
video hoping for a good interpretation of the original. What we found
bears absolutely no relationship to the book other than the title and the
main character's name.

How many kids saw the movie and now think that is what the book is about!!
