They wanted minorities, logic be damned. Otherwise they'd be limited to Jasmine and Pocahontas.

And have I ever mentioned how much contempt I have for the Pocahontas team raping history?

It's a fascinating story, and one nearly opposite in each detail to what Disney did. John Smith reported Pocahontas as being "tenne" or "twelve", and going naked like other Powhatan children. She may not even have hit puberty, let alone been sexually attracted to Smith. By the time she was a young adult, she'd been captured by the colonists, embraced Christianity, and soon made peace between the two peoples via political marriage. Instead Disney has her converting her English love interest to shamanism.
She also met King James and Ben Jonson in London, before dying of a Eurasian disease at no more than 22 (some direct to video sequel that would've been).
The history is one thing, but what always bugged me about Pocahontas was the geography (being a map nerd and all). Watch the "Colors of the Wind" trailer. See how there's suddenly mountains within easy walking distance of Jamestown? Those mountains are easily a 3-hour drive away in real life. :P

They're not even in the post-ACW state of Virginia, IIRC, but the Appalachians of West Virginia.

This thread went in a totally different direction than I expected
I figured it would be Alice being loopy and AU and Imi responding and then drop off the front page in like a day

lol they should make a movie about Cristoforo Colombo's romantic quest to prove the earth was round and make friends with the Native Americans.
"The year is 1492. Many people believed that the world was flat, and that ships would fall off the edge of the earth and float off into space. However, an Italian navigator named Christopher Columbus had a revolutionary idea — he thought that the world was square."

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what it might be
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
^^After they let Pixar have the run of the feature animation side really things have been better
I admit, I wasn't all that into Disney when I was younger (their work didn't resonate with me that much then, and Eisner was trying to turn Disney into something it wasn't and it felt off to me)
Though both book and film deal with the relationship between a mouse and Benjamin Franklin, the book, with illustrations by Lawson, focused more heavily on actual historical events and personages.
