10. Seen it years ago. Have it forgotten. Something like Eddie the eagle.
9. I love that film. So dark
8. Love that film too. Robin Williams made this film.
7. So underrated. I really enjoyed this film.
6. Knew this was going to be here. Love that film along with the live action one. I thought it was 17th century France the film was set in.
5. I remember this film. Hilarious how it was all animal based and no humans at present.
4. So underrated
3. another underrated film. I'm a damsel, I'm in distress I can handle this have a nice day. Yikes Hercules was going to kill Meg
2. Really enjoyed this film too.

Of course my favorite Disney movie just had to be #1
Pocahontas was only 11 when she met Smith, and never had any romantic relationship with him. But Disney herself stated that the movie is based on the legend of Pocahontas, which differs somewhat from what actually happened. And they decided that if not even historians among themselves could decide what was 100% true, they took the liberty to change and create on top of some parts of the story that were unclear. And as for the facts that were changed, they did it so the story would be more appealing (adding a Romeu and Juliet trope, lack of conflict and genocide between the Natives and the English.

For Hercules, you did not mention the myth also states that Hercules was the product of an adulterous relationship between Zeus and a common woman, which of course brought on Hera's fury, and caused her to send the snakes after Hercules when he was a baby. Hercules god-like strength-though-mortal characteristic was actually due to his status as demigod, not a magic potion. I mean, come on, I hate being _that guy_ but if you're going to do a whole top ten about inaccuracies in fictional kids' movies, let's not leave anything out.

No Newsies? As much as I love it, the newsboy strike was completely inaccurate in its portrayal. I had to research Pulitzer in college and was surprised with how much good he did for Journalism considering the vilification he undergoes in that movie. The Hunchback mistake should have been an honorable mention and Newsies put in its place on this list, as you don't even explain very much about what was a mistake, you just show clips of the movie instead.

With the greatest classics of Disney now being brought to real-life/CGI, I wonder I Disney will make them regarding some of historical mistakes. For exemple, if we come to have Pocahontas in real-life, will they do it basing on the film (where she and John Smith fall in love) or the real facts? And with Hercules, will they make him son of Hera too or have a mortal mother? Also, will Hera be the villain with Hades?

Honestly growing up with Disney, yes as a child (born in 1990, I didn't care if they were accurate. I wanted an entertaining story, which Disney knows how to do. Many of Disney older movies have no accuracy in them, like some do today like Moana for example. But they are mainly for children who just want to watch a movie and have a happy time.

There are historical mistakes in Disney movies, but there are also blatant historical mistakes in this video itself. For example, whoever wrote the script didn't understand what life expectancy means. Life expectancy factors in infant mortality rates so a life expectancy below 40 does NOT mean that most adults died before the age of 40.

Because I know I totally want the actual age gap (at least 40 years) and actual events (rape) surrounding Pocahontas and John Smith in a movie intended for children. Seriously, this list shouldn't even exist. Kids movies are where you should just throw historical accuracy out and focus on the message in the movies at face value.

And if you want to go further with Pocahontas, going by the customs of her people (the Powhatan) at the time, as a child she would have not worn any clothing. Also, some reports say that the real Captain John Smith was actually short, ugly, and not very popular with the men under his command.

Here is another: The Emperor's New Groove. Yes, I know it's just a wacky comedy like Aladdin, but think about it. It is based on the time of the Incas, and they were a fascinating civilization, but they didn't have a lot of the things depicted in the movie ( they also Westernized most of it.

I'd rather make stories have a happy ending instead of being related to history.
At least Disney didn't want to upset a younger audience. Besides, this is Disney we're talking here.
They end their versions of these stories THEIR way. Sorry, I have autism. I understand simple things.

Wouldn't YOU want to change the story into YOUR version? Take Romeo and Juliet for example: they died in Shakespeare's tragedy, but in animated versions, they live in the end. Again, I'm sorry. I know this is about the stories' history, but still I like stories that end so happily.

To be fair, the Disney animators admitted that they based Pocahontas off of the legend surrounding the historical account rather than actually basing it on a true story.
Regardless, I still love Pocahontas and it's still one of my most favorite Disney animated film of all time.

Sooo. you show that whole clip with Quasimodo climbing that spire that historically didn't exist in his time. and the example you pick is the accuracy of the movie's Disney Acid Sequence that can easily be explained by Quasimodo's creativity?
Kay. You do you, boo.

This list is garbage. Why? Because you're forgetting the fact that Disney PURPOSELLY changed it to make it FAMILY FRIENDLY. Why would anyone let their kids watch the actual truth of what happened in those times? Oi. This list can burn. Bye.

Secretariat should have been on this list. The race calls used in the movie (and even the whole Belmont race depicted in the movie) is completely inaccurate. There was also an affair in there, but I can see why that wasnt included.

Although I do agree (as I did a paper on Pocahontas in college) I do have to point out that not much was known about Pocahontas when she was alive. Although the facts you mentioned were correct.

Of course Disney being Disney and changing stories to be more family friendly. Because let's face it. Had they fine with, for example Hercules stories, then there would've been allot complaining.

I know that Hunchback of Notre Dame's a fictional story, but it still bothers me how Quasimodo can talk in the movie when he's deaf/mute from living with the bells in the book.

The thing that bothers me the most about Hercules it's not the happily ever after, it's the fact that they mixed roman and greek gods! NOOOOO they should keep one and develop.

If they included all of those issues for African Americans in the Princess and the Frog, then the movie wouldve faced severe backlash from critics and civil rights groups.

No 6: if life expectancy is around 40, doesnt mean everyone died around forty. Its an average and a lot of children died early. So old people excisted around that time

#9: Rags like that wouldn't be in fashion for at least another fifty years, and Phoebus' sword and armor went out of style one hundred years previous to the setting!
