AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Prototype82]

I just wish they would call it something else... don't call it "Avatarland"... however the whole land could be based on mythical (or beastly) creatures and Avatar among other things

Who says Disney's calling Pandora, Avatarland?

Disney isn't calling it Avatarland, only the people on message boards are calling it that. Disney has only publically refered to it as an "AVATAR themed land".

The other name we've heard is World of Avatar, which could be shortened from James Cameron's World of Avatar. Personally, I think "Pandora" is the way to go.

I believe "James Cameron's World of Avatar" is the working name.

Because James Cameron's ego just wasn't big enough. :lol:

I'm pretty sure that was shortened from "James Cameron presents James Cameron's World of Avatar by James Cameron".

All I care about is that we get some kilers attractions. I could really care less about the longevity of a franchise.

Its true, he isn't very humble but the guy can make a blockbuster that's for sure.

There was a time where I though he was just taking things he knew would be popular and running with it, but making an original scifi film that is such a success, it is impressive.

I sure would like to hang out with him for a day just to see what sort of toys he bought with his piles of money.

The story may not be original but at least it's a blockbuster that's not based on a TV show, comic book, video game, previous movie, etc. By current Hollywood standard, Avatar is very original.

I was just thinking about why Avatar doesn't resonate as well as Disney had hoped.

Remembering Robert Sherman led me to thinking about the most popular franchises in film and theme parks. Avatar doesn't have any music that I remember. I don't even know the composer.

It was nobody important. James Horner. BGM for this land will be incredible.

Is it bad that i am reserving judgement until the plans are actually revealed?

Only one of my favorite present-day composers.

I know. I was kidding with my EEK face. It would be nice if everyone reserved judgement until it actually happened...but then internet discussion forums would be empty.

District 9? :shrug:

I meant from James Cameron specifically
