My daughter commented on that Disney movie.  There's a scene in which 
Pocahontas and Smith look through the trees down on a flat valley.  My 
daughter spoke up in her normal speaking voice in the middle of a 
darkened theater: "I've lived in Virginia all my life and there's 
nothing like that in Virginia."

Is there some source of maps specifically for movies?
