We're all mad here.
The gripe against Pocahontas was that she supposedly looked too Asian for a Native American. From what I've heard of the actual events, it's a pretty miserable story.

Arguments against Aladdin included the American accent and lack of beard and the fact that he was lighter skinned than Jafar, or something like that. In the original tale he was apparently the son of a Chinese merchant ;). (That is, if the details in the game "Tales of the Arabian Nights" are correct).

Never thought about things like that, Jurinjo. I think because I usually try not to read too much into a movie and at the time when I first matched most of them it's not something that would have really occurred to me.

Disney gets lambasted for a lot of things, but the do pay attention and try to remedy things. Look! Prince Naveen doesn't even have blue eyes! ;).
