AVATAR land coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

after watching avatar I was overall pleased with the movie's visual effects... Notice I said pleased.. I definitely wasn't jumping out of my seat or mind blown by the effects like I was for the movie frozen...However, I know you cant compare a movie like Avatar to the movie frozen. Anyways I did enjoy the movie but, I don't think a new land surrounding the movie is productive at all. In my opinion many Disney movies are forgotten or just underrated..I don't want that to happen to avatar but still a whole land???? I think a ride or a show like World of Color would be amazing for Avatar but the idea of having a whole land of just avatar already entices a bit of disapproval for me.

And before we get any "that's not the way Walt would want it" nonsense I'll point out the Matterhorn.
Disneyland is basically the prime example of how nearly everything is taller than their Icon, not that that's a good thing, but it is what it is.

Was this such a compelling and unique point you needed to post it in multiple threads?

What effects in Frozen were mind blowing and/or made you jump out of your seat?

The thing with Avatar is that there are probably millions of people who DO love the movie (we're a very small bunch here that don't seem to like the movie) and the visuals and Disney is banking on that. And not to mention they're probably riding a lot on the new movies being just as successful. Weren't there stories of depressed individuals who wanted to visit Pandora?
I mean, I still haven't seen the movie and really have had no desire to, but isn't the movie also about conservation? And it doesn't necessarily have to tie into any plot from the movie. Just use the scenic elements.
And at this point, it's likely going to be a success because Animal Kingdom desperately needs things to do. Is it my personal first choice? Not particularly but I'm willing to give it a chance. I'm more interested in the boat ride than flying on a supposed banshee. It's going to appeal to the mass crowds and that's what Disney cares about, IMO. I can see a lot of reasons why they went with this. I guess I'll have to watch the movie but the movie also doesn't have to have anything to do with the land besides, like I said, the visuals of said land and the plant life, etc. But we'll see what they do. (Of course they probably would tie in the movies elements). I had a friend who just couldn't stop raving about the movie when it came out. She loved it. So, to each their own, LOL
I remembered I did see a BIT of it when it was on FX, I think, and I personally didn't see a need to include real humans, but that's just me. So I guess I'll have to break down and spend the 3 (?) hours to watch the movie

That's just it. Avatar wasn't a "Disney" movie.

I didn't either but I ended up watching it... I actually like it and some of the visual and interactive elements could be very cool to watch and see how they do at Disney

I think I will finally have to watch it, so I can I guess have a 'full opinion' on what we may see. I think the length has been the biggest reason I haven't had much of a desire. I'm still anxious to see the land once it's finally done and remain somewhat excited for the boat ride.

Good points. I agree.

Anyways, back to Avatar land.
You guys should get a room!
