Treasure of Matecumbe (1976)
Late Mid-century Adventure Nostalgia

This is slightly slow and the plot is a bit convoluted...however...it's a heartfelt adventure film. The film allows Disney to re-inforce the importance of education and just as important show society's disgust at racism when the klan members are set in fire (I have to admit I definitely chuckled here). It was slightly disappointing to see their handling of Native American culture, but I don't believe ill intent was meant. It is overall a film to enjoy for what it is and not take to serious any perceived slights. The medicine show portrayed in the film while cringey and offensive today, is accurate for that time(1800's). A talking point for families to discuss and move on.
