![]() ![]() Perhaps the Disney film best known for being based on real history is the 1995 movie Pocahontas, a musical romance focusing on the relationship between Powhatan princess Pocahontas and English settler John Smith. The stories may have been embellished, sanitized, or given a touch more magic by Disney, but they are none the less fascinating and sometimes even more incredible than their adaptations. But not every story has been adapted from sources like the Brothers Grimm – some of them are even based on real historical events and figures. Snow White, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid were all inspired by European fairytales, for example. Some of the movies are original to Disney, but at their core most Disney movies are inspired by ancient folklore. Many of us grew up watching Disney movies and their tales of fairy princesses and evil queens are undeniably a part of the modern zeitgeist. ![]()
