One of the biggest questions I had regarding Pocahontas is why doesn't Pocahontas give Kocoum a chance? Nakoma knew what was up. While he might be serious on the outside, it's clear he is willing to die for Pocahontas. Maybe if she'd actually gotten to know him versus making assumptions, she'd have thought differently. She certainly gives John Smith a chance, and that involves Grandmother Willow's magic or some other spirit in order for them to be able to speak to one another. Yes, I realize Pocahontas is based on real people and Disney could only take so many liberties, but that doesn't mean I still don't have questions.
As a child, I certainly tried to duplicate her waterfall jump. Luckily, I only did it in the family pool rather than off a cliff. Why did they keep that in there knowing children would want to duplicate it? Surely a jump from that height would've killed her, or at least had her struggling once she came out of the water.
