Disney's Pocahontas is based on a true story and takes significant creative liberties with the facts. Pocahontas was only about 10 or 11 when John Smith arrived in Virginia. She was never romantically linked to him and actually married John Rolfe, a minor character in the Disney film.
The story of Pocahontas saving Smith's life by laying her head over his moments before his execution is also hotly debated. His writings (17 years after the fact) are the only source, although it is often repeated as common knowledge. John Smith returned to England two years after his arrival, needing medical attention for injuries related to a gunpowder explosion, not a gunshot wound.
The 1998 sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, also had several factual errors. Rolfe married Pocahontas before her (only) visit to England. John Smith was thought to be dead by Pocahontas' tribe, but not by anyone in England. Pocahontas died in England after becoming ill on the ship back to America.
