Things bạn May Not Know About Pocahontas. 

1 lucky winner will be chosen at the end of the month. Good luck!

A bday celebration. A huge premiere. Five years of work. What else do we know about \'Pocahontas?\'

 was the first Disney animated feature to feature a real, historical figure, complete with mythos, folklore and legend related to her life. The film follows the Native American teen and her encounter with English settler John Smith.

The film, released during the Disney Renaissance, which lasted a decade between 1989 and 1999, was not without its critics because of the fictionalized subject matter and how it addressed and took plenty of artistic license with facts and the whole issue of colonialism and its harsh realities. Despite these matters,

is a beloved story and film, and was a box office success, even if it didn't exactly align itself with history as we know it. (Or, at the very least, as we think we know it!)

Did you know it boasted the largest film premiere in history? That it was timed to release around a key date in the real Pocahontas' life? That it took five years to produce?

Pocahontas took a whopping five years to complete, due to the complexity of the animation technique. The titular character was animated by 55 people alone. #Details.

2. The film was released around the time of the real Pocahontas\' 400th birthday. What a celebration of her life. She was believed to have been born in 1595.

3. Mel Gibson voiced the role of Pocahontas\' love interest John Smith, and it was the first film to showcase the (now often) controversial actor\'s singing skills.

Pocahontas was a prestige project, more so than The Lion King, which was also in production at the same time. Therefore, more animators elected to work on this film instead. The Lion King was an explosive, massive success. So was Pocahontas.

5. The late John Candy voiced the character of Redfeather, the turkey meant to be a sidekick for Pocahontas. However, the animal characters were instead made mute and Candy died during production, so his character was dropped altogether. Christian Bale voiced the role of Thomas, a friend of John Smith and a settler.

6. The film\'s premiere was held in Central Park on June 10, 1995. Over 100,000 people attended, according to Disney bean counters. The cops say it was closer to 70,000 people on site. Who do you believe? Either/or, that many people is impressive.

Because sometimes you fall in love with your best friend and want to remind yourself why it's a terrible idea.

Andie Anderson made us laugh, made us cry and we all really just wanted to be her.

We've all been secretly waiting for the moment to start our own "Thriller" flash mob.

That moment that brat of a child presses all the buttons on the elevator …we're still mad about it.

Mainly because E! and Oxygen play this movie on repeat and we are too lazy to change the channel, but James Marsden is perfect so it's fine!

The king of all the rom-coms, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere show you how it's done.

I think every single 20-something can relate to Kristen Wiig in

They meet on top of the Empire State Building … on Valentine’s Day! Ugh. Obsessed.

Mila Kunis > Kristen Bell. Sorry we're not sorry.

Katz's Deli and the idea that men and women can't be friends have never looked so good.

we've ever watched on repeat … to be honest.

The old school rom coms are the way to go sometimes. Every now and then we need Cat and Fred in our lives.

"You're a virgin who can't drive!" But also, Paul Rudd is everything in this movie.

What do you mean? It's totally realistic for a rich political figure to marry a hotel maid that has the ass of Jennifer Lopez …

"I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack."

"That's because you don't have a Prada backpack." You know this conversation by heart…

The best internet dating movie that has ever existed.

The hardest thing we have trouble believing in this movie is that men that look like Ryan Reynolds hail from Alaska.

The Tiffany ring scene, but also "Why do you want to be married to me anyhow?" "So I can kiss you anytime I want." Yep.

Anytime we listen to Sixpence None The Richer we think of that stair entrance we all dreamed of having.

Another one constantly on cable, but still amazing. Even though IRL, Justin Long would never date that girl (because she's weird).

It's our dream to trade lives for a little while, unless the man we meet in our new life is Jack Black though … come on.

Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman are the most perfect rom-com couple ever.

Nothing is better than convincing everyone that Sandra Bullock was "ugly" and needed a makeover.

Ugh. The only time we've enjoyed watching Anne Hathaway.
