What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the biography of the Native American princess Pocahontas.
  • John Rolfe was actually a tobacco plantation owner, not a diplomat.
  • John Ratcliffe, the film's main antagonist, actually died seven years before Pocahontas's visit to England with her family.
  • During Pocahontas's performance of the song "What a Wonderful World!", William Shakespeare is shown as one of the townspeople, and he comes up with the line "To be or not to be..." However, the playwright actually died two months before the Native American princess's visit, and "Hamlet" wasn't written until 1600-1601.
  • Princess Pocahontas did indeed visit England in 1616, causing a real sensation among the local nobility. However, by that time she had already been married to John Rolfe for a year, and they were accompanied by their one-year-old son Thomas, the shaman Tomocomo, and a retinue of Native American women. Furthermore, Pocahontas had converted to Christianity before the wedding, and her new name was Rebecca. According to the plot of the cartoon, she stayed in London for a week or two, but in reality she lived there for almost a year. She set off on her return journey, but was forced to turn back because she and her son contracted smallpox. She soon died from it on English soil at the age of 22, while two-year-old Thomas survived and lived to be 65. Correspondence makes it clear that Rolfe truly loved his wife, but Pocahontas’s true feelings for him are unknown: it is possible that her marriage was dictated solely by economic and political reasons.
  • Pocahontas did meet her former lover, John Smith, in London, but she was very angry with him for breaking off the almost family-like relationship that had developed between them in the New World.
  • In the scene "What a Day in London," Pocahontas gives Shakespeare a hint to write the tragedy Hamlet ("To be or not to be?"). From this, we can conclude that the cartoon takes place in 1600 (the year Hamlet was written). At that time, England was ruled not by a king, but by Queen Elizabeth I.
  • Mrs. Jenkins is a great tea lover, but at the time of the film's action (somewhere between 1609 and 1616) tea had not yet become popular in England. This would happen later, during the reign of Charles II, thanks to his wife Catherine of Braganza.
  • During the performance of Pocahontas’s song “What a Wonderful World!”, William Shakespeare appears as one of the townspeople, and the line “To be or not to be…” comes to his mind. However, the playwright actually died two months before the Indian princess’s visit, and “Hamlet” was not written until 1600–1601.
  • In the scene “What a Day in London,” Pocahontas gives Shakespeare a hint to write the tragedy of Hamlet (“To be or not to be?”). From this, we can conclude that the events of the cartoon take place in 1600 (the year Hamlet was written). At that time, England was ruled not by a king, but by Queen Elizabeth I.
