Considering how notorious the complaints of the film 'not being historically accurate' are, I can't help but see that final line as incredibly hilarious. To the point that I'm pretty sure he's being ironic there, which may or may not go over some heads. The fact that Pocahontas, in the film, does not even wear that dress he sketches her in the 'look how accurate this is' comparison sketch kind of helps drive that point home. Either way, Glen Keane is wonderfully talented!
Considering Pocahontas was a real person and how inaccurate the film was compared to her actual life I wondered why they decided to base it off her in the first place, I mean they could’ve just changed her name and John smith’s and it would’ve worked out without the whole issue of both their stories not being similar at all
Blurryink Because “Pocahontas” is not just a historical name but a symbolic part of the American experience. Every person and their grandmother knows the legend; this was meant to be the big-budget, definitive version of it. The legendary names of Pocahontas and John Smith have the same appeal as other iconic fairy tale and folkloric characters that Disney has adapted. It’s part of that appeal.
That engraving of her from 1616 by Simon van de Passé is actually considered to be well-made and fairly accurate to what her facial features would’ve looked like. Look up the 1994 Mary Ellen Howe recreation of the engraving. Howe spent years studying the facial features of Virginia Indians such as the Pamunkey, Mattoponi, and Rappahannock. It’s hard to tell in its original black and white form, but that engraving truly does reflect many of the common facial features of Virginia natives and is likely very accurate to Pocahontas’ real face. It’s kind of sad how Glen Keane and the audience just howl with laughter at it.
You have to look at the style of the art of the time. And it is sad that everyone seems happy to make a joke out of both Pocahontas and the artist who created that portrait... who cares if the portrait meets today’s standards of beauty/“the girl next door”? Pocahontas was a brave, impressive woman and she continues to be an important person in the study of US Women’s history. She deserves more credit than a conversation about how attractive she was. It would have been nice if capturing the essence of the person had been more of a goal of the movie and the illustration.
He’s an artist, his job is not to talk about the real Pocahontas, and her personality and shit, but to explain the reasoning behind his artistic decisions, and her character design
@@Uurm0m yes 💖 hi isnt there for telling the real history, hi there because is an artist desing characters. The picture of the real is Just for the joke, he Just need know the history from the movie because the character is for that (sorry for my inglish)
I think they are talking about the original drawing of pocahontas that glen keane was comparing his to. Glen keane's drawing of pocahontas is way better.
@Bobert WiltshireHe's doing roughs in a few seconds. It's more about flow an the overall impression. Obviously if he was illustrating I doubt he would spent 2 seconds on eyes and go "Okay done".
"I don't know why I get all these characters with long hair..". It's funnier knowing he'll do Rapunzel in the future.

I wish Glenn would come out of retirement to work at Disney again.
Glen Keane draws Ariel from The Little Mermaid 1:07 - 2:12 and Pocahontas 2:17 - 3:49 from Pocahontas on the Disney Channel in June 1995.

I love Glen but I did not like it when he said pocahauntas was ugly
@Bobert Wiltshire lol
Boohoo.
He wasn’t calling her ugly specifically. The contrast in the original portrait isn’t exactly flattering.
yeah agree with u and how people laughed and clapped, just seems weird and uncomfortable
When tho lmao? He made practical jokes to entertain the audience...
Wasn't the animated Pocahontas designed to look like the supermodels of the time?
Bandeira kkkkkkkkkk
Oh man. That old drawing is horrible.
ever heard of a rough concept?
