Friday night is movie night at our house and we usually watch one of the movies the kids and I have already seen a zillion times. Last night I thought it would be fun to watch something new so we decided on Disney's "Pocahontas." Well, I guess I should have given a bit more thought to the fact that this movie is all about the Native Americans fighting with the English settlers. Lots of arrows and guns, which of course leads to lots of conversations I don't want to have with 3 and 4-year olds.
[Spoiler alert!] At the very end of the movie, Pocahontas bids farewell to her love, John Smith, as he sails back to England. As Pocahontas stands on the cliffs waving goodbye, P bursts into tears and proceeds to sob for the next 15 minutes about, "Why Pocahontas has to say goodbye to her Daddy?!?" Not entirely sure how we got this interpretation but whatever, we won't be watching that movie again for a bit!
