When the Disney live-action remakes were being announced like hotcakes, one of the worst ideas we heard was the planned remake of Dumbo! Surely a film about a flying elephant didn’t need to be remade as live-action! And to top it all off, exactly how good could the story be if it was written by the same person who wrote Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Transformers: Age of Extinction?

Uh…I mean, you’re not wrong.

The film I’m thinking of is Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale! Released in 1994 and directed by Xavier Koller, this Disney film has since been overshadowed by the following year’s Pocahontas. Coincidentally enough, Pocahontas’ voice actress has a minor role in this film!

Should this film be more remembered? Read on to find out as I review Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale!
