arfink Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If you want to take some digs on an animated film, do it to Pocahontas. It's utter garbage, and totally deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeteorShower Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I never made that connection! I feel so ... betrayed I do remember, however, being shocked that they were going to execute him for stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
