Do I need to watch the original Avatar movie to understand the sequels, or would FernGully cover it?

@grumpasaurus @catsalad Pocahontas

@ThaMunsta @grumpasaurus @catsalad Came here to say the same.

- White man arrives on the shores and starts fights
- Ravages the land, steals the natural resources to bring back home
- Steals one or more of the people who originally lived there
- Brings war, death, and destruction to foreign land

Avatar is a modern retelling of the Pocahontas story.

@ThaMunsta @grumpasaurus @catsalad I went and watched the trailer for Fern Gully. Now I don't know which is a better description of Avatar -- Fern Gully or Pocahontas.

@catsalad I watched the original, thus avoiding watching any sequels. ‍️

@catsalad I call the films "Dances with Smurfs", and that should tell you everything you need to know.

@charette @ThaMunsta @catsalad Fern Gully is a really great movie!

@catsalad or if you’ve read Ursula K. Le Guin‘s The Word for World is Forest (1972). Fern gully and especially Avatar pretty much ripped her off.
