Avatar IS Pocahontas
My friend’s Niece is a little obsessed with Pocahontas at the moment. I understand that watching children’s films on repeat can get mind numbing after a while (although I don’t think this would ever happen with Up) but I was more than happy to sit and watch it last weekend because (shock horror) I had never seen it.
It was good. It was also so catchy that I was left singing ‘Savages’ for the rest of the weekend. James Cameron must have liked it too because – hold on a cotton-picking minute - didn’t I see this a couple of weeks ago in 3D?
I saw the above posted on The Huffington Post, which really points out the BLATANT similarities between Pocahontas and Avatar, suggesting that Cameron is just a big ol’ copycat. It’s actually quite funny.
None of this actually detracts from how much I enjoyed the latter film though. We all know Avatar is also Dances with Wolves too but who cares. It looks AMAZING.

I love it when people point out comparisons, I don’t think people should get away with tons of credit when it’s somebody else’s concept. However, I would rather live in Pandora than Virginia!
