I'm against censorship, but I really wonder should there be a massive import duty everywhere outside the USA on the perverted and distorted Hollywood versions of history (Pocahontas) and myth/fairy (Anderson's Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Mulan, Braveheart, Moana, Aladdin and Norse).

You seem to be under the misapprehension that they're supposed to be somewhat accurate, but really, let's face it, their only purpose is to make money. To that end Hollywood is free to twist the story however it wants in order to meet the goals of profit.
