Why do people always mispronounce Pocahontas' name?

posted by scarletunicorn

It's something i've noticed a lot is that characters like Pocahontas and Esmeralda always get their names mispronounced door people.

Is there a reason for it? I know not everybody is good with names but it's bizarre how it's always the same names and the same mistakes that occur.

It's really strange because other "difficult" names like Jafar of Rapunzel don't get mispronounced that much. And it's not really a difficult name to mispronounce, at least we see how is Pocahontas' name written in the screen (the title). I'm guessing the thing with Esmeralda is people unfamiliar with Spanish, but still, it's a little bizarre.

Tygers_Eye How is her name mispronounced? Could you sound out the proper pronunciation verses the one people often use?

scarletunicorn @Tygers_Eye I see stuff like "Pochantas" "Pokhuntas" "Pochohantas"...With Esmeralda it's "Esmrlada" "Emerda" "Esmaralda"...I know it sounds nitpicky, but it comes to my attention how it's always these two.

Superted and the Magic Word

One night, in new york, there was a husband and a wife with a baby. They were walking when suddenly a gun shot came. It was an evil cowboy called Texas Pete and his very cowardly, outrageously camp henchman, Skeleton. “What are u doing here?” Shouted a husband. “Get away from us!” Shouted a wife. “Let the baby go!” Shouted Tex. “Or I shall kill u both!” “Never!” Shouted a husband and a wife. “Go get them, Tex!” Shouted Skeleton evilly. Texas Pete and Skeleton chased after a husband and a wife. “Help us, Police!” They cried. But it was too late. Texas Pete was...

The Jungle Book 2-One of disney's worst

posted by Pyjamarama

Mowgli has a rubbish and annoying voice. Mowgli gets all pain and so does Shanti. Shanti calls Mowgli ugly. Nasty girl! John Goodman as Baloo is also rubbish. All the characters in this film are rubbish except Shere Khan, Kaa and Ranjan's father, the only 3 ones u can like. Besides, they're not really annoying. But don't tell anybody about this sequel of they ought to watch it. Mowgli is living in the Man Village with the girl who lured him in, Shanti, his adopted brother Ranjan, and their parents. However, Mowgli longs to return to the fun of the jungle, and after nearly leading the other...

They were in a state of chaos because they were planning on participating in a dog show. The Brown family was planning to put their three young triplet...

While often labeled as one of the lesser Disney Classics, I heartily disagree with this assessment. It is an enjoyable, comedic flick that is lighthearted and fun. I like to think of it as a kruis of Lady and the Tramp and 101...
