When I first saw Avatar it reminded me of Fern Gully and Dances with Wolves. But it's nothing new. Most of the movies you see today are remakes of older movies. First Blood (Rambo) was a remake of the movie Lonely Are The Brave (1962) with Kirt Douglas. Beyonce video for Single Ladies is a copy of Walk it Out Fosse.
Yes I can tell that it was all on the same wavelength. The least that Avatar producers and whats his name cameron could do is to give a credit for concept and story. But they didnt do that. They did not want to bite into profits. It's called stealing.
They are no better than the bad guys in fern gully and avatar itself. Thieves who steal intellectual property.
You know I would usually agree Avatar is ripping off its just a common plot but the similarities are too specific to a t. The tractors, the scene with encouraging speach, the tree, the glowing plants... It isn't only about the plot anymore. On first glance, the only difference between the two is Avatar has *revolutionary* visual affects and the natives were blue.
as soon as i watched avatar in 2010 i remembered this film, iv hated the new avatar ever since !!!!!!!!!!!! make up ur own movies gosh, not imagination these days. Fern gully great movie :D watched when was little
@Opalthreads And they didnt just rip off the story they ripped off full scenes...think about when they are running through the rain forest and the water lights up and in avatar there is a scene nearly identical
Please, are we really saying Avatar was a complete copy of some cartoon movies about protecting nature? What a joke to compare Avatar to those kiddie movies (Do you know what I really LOOOVE about Avatar? NO ANNOYING BREAKS INTO STUPID SONGS!...okay toxic love rocks...but still). Let's forget about the original character design, scene design, and impressive mesh of CG + film (because those things don't matter). Besides...the Avatar story is JUST beginning.
@mramazingracist100 Yes its the same book,different covers.And why Avatar is going to get even more retarded is when they are going to make a shitty story for avatar 2.
Avatar was a good movie...but I just feel Ferngully was alot better..could be the nostalgia...but i don't know for a cartoon i really liked it and still watch it
I saw this tonight on TV and was like, "Hey.. This reminds me of Avatar." Then more of the movie kept unfolding, I shouted surprised, "HOLY SHIT! This is pretty much Avatar!"
@mramazingracist100 Yes hes quite retarded.I think he cant compensate a simple thing as this not to see ripping off.And by the way he can eat shit because the cartoon was probably way harder to make.The draw 1000 pictures for every little movement back then.
When I first saw Avatar at the movies, I knew that this movie was similar to Fern Gully. Especially when she showed him the plants and they were glowing. Funny thing I saw Fern Gully at the movies as a kid! And BTW Avatar sucks!
@NightmareLoveForever Well, dispite the similarities, I kind of found Avatar to still be a fun film as at least it has a couple of epic battle scenes.
In fact, After seeming Avatar in 2009, I kind of wanted to see the other films that James Cameron was known for so I torrented the 1st 2 Terminator movies and later, watched the VHS copys that my big sister had and then eventually, Bought The Terminator on DVD and T2 on Blu Ray at the end of this year (Got T1 on my 17th Bday
very awesome! (and yea this along with Brave Little Toaster were my childhood icon movies too) I also wonder if any1 in Camerons creative team plays or knows of World of Warcraft cuz the entire Na'vi story is bascially a ripoff of the Night Elf lore including the 'world tree' idea, fuck Cameron, go do something ORIGINAL... dick
@ViperRob42 Dude, the Night Elf lore is almost entirely taken from other sources. The World Tree is an ancient Norse concept (Yggdrasil, anyone?). And the Warcraft people are well aware of the references they are making to other mythologies/stories (like the idea of Orcs? Or the huge similarities to Warhammer mythologies - which came before Warcraft?) - they even include little jokes about it! I think they even give their World Tree a similar name to Yggdrasil! Play less WoW and read more!!!
@ViperRob42 Haha! Yes you did! You totally thought it was! You're hilarious. You even told Cameron "go do some original", and called him a dick for it, and now you're all, "Oh noes! Quick! I have to rescue my reputation on YOUTUBE! Let's troll the person who pointed out how dumb i was being!"
The best part is, the people who MADE World of Warcraft are like, a billion times smarter than you re: mythology and stories, and you think you're *defending* them! Thank-you for the free entertainment.
avatar does take a lot of plot from this movie but the basic character plots and personalities are taken from Disney's Pochohantas and some further plot elements as well
@Zareth6 That's exactly what i was thinking...Pocahontas. But a lot of your best stories come from taking history and changing the names and places I think. I thought it was amazing when i figured out that the story in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was based on Egyptian historical events from the time of Hatshepsut and her nephew lol.
I completely agree that the storyline from Avatar is exactly the same as Ferngully, Pocahantas, Dances with Wolves, and probably countless other films. But I don't think anyone is really trying to claim that it's very original. I think Avatar's claim to fame is the cinematography. I love Fern Gully (it's my childhood), but that cartoon has nothing on the advanced digital technology that is displayed in Avatar.
Also does it really matter if the ideas were taken from someone else. the point of the movies are to express the need to stop deforestation, saving indigenous cultures and other similar issues. is it so bad to continue to try and make a point???
I have no problem with mashups like this... but that doesn't change the fact that they are troll bait. FernGully is really quite dissimilar to Avatar. They share the use of environmental destruction (in particular the clearing of forests) and the cooperation of members of opposing groups as plot devices, and put forth a strong environmentalist message. That's about it. Note that the dozer scene in Avatar could be claimed similar. Pocahontas? Um, no. Avatar was written before it was released.
@torukmakto4 doesn't matter if it was written before it was released the other film was released first. Is like saying inception had the dream idea before the matrix because it was written 10 years ago. Matrix was released first so there for it was one of the first movie that had the idea of dreams. Its a matter of whats first for people to see not what we hear.
@ModernDayReview88 Yes, when talking about these originality claims, it DOES matter who wrote what and when, regardless of release dates. It may not matter in the public's eye as far as how a film is thought about, but it still stands that Cameron didn't derive anything from Pocahontas. That's a fact.
@torukmakto4 I disagree for all we know they can be full of shit and say they wrote it 10 years ago... I believe what I see not what I hear. Thats like someone telling your girl/man is cheating on you and she/he has been for 4 years your automatically going to believe that one person even thou u don't have proof?
@ModernDayReview88 There is proof. The original iteration of the script was known as "Project 880" (this later became the codename for the Avatar project throughout its production) and WAS written in 1994. I have no reason to lie, but if you don't believe me, go do a little research on your own.
i love how everyone is dissing on fern gully when it was made decades before avatar was even thought of. you cant call fern gully or pocahontas a rip off cause they were way before this time. i remember watching avatar and thinking for those who exact movies. who cares if they have similar characteristics. like other movies dont copy eachother. we live in the book into movie era if i may add
Uf If Avatar is the same as Ferngully, then who thinks The Matrix is the same thing as Japanese animation like Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Fist of the North Star, Ninja Scroll and Cowboy Bebop?
Ferngully - (fav film as child) was published by Diana young in 1991.
Avatar was written in 1990 if I'm mistaken but James Cameron couldn't work on it because the technology hadn't caught up yet (technology he helped develop)
but everyone knows Avatar is not about the story which has more similarities to Pocahontas, but its famous for being the first film of its kind to be made from start to finish in all its 3D glory. Its a cinematic masterpiece!
@Japanamaniac Shut up, you dumb twat. Cameron DID create the script in 1994 Mononoke really? That's a fucking anime FROM JAPAN you idiot. that really doesn't apply to avatar and Fern Gulley. Shut the hell up and go post you dumbass comments elsewhere. >:X
I thought Ferngully as soon as i got done with the movie Avatar the only thing is Avatar has great looking but never seen any reason why it is said too be a great movie.
@KadeshLeMort Yes you to are disturbing,since you say Ferngully to be annoying.
Seriously ! WTF! What is good then?Man Ferngully is one of 5 or 10 cinematic achivements in the history of the human kind that isn't just an entertaining bullshit.Which finally is no longer appreciated as it used to be what is clearly a sing the humanity is starting to mature.Even if small number now people nowdays dont want just mindless shows,they aim for something with a true meaning.....
DOESNT matter now lol cuz the ferngully ripoff made over a billion dollars worldwide cameron could care less about what happens the australians who made this movie need to take cameron to court and get some of that. but i doubt they will win
Avatar didn't really grow on me. Watched about half and just completely lost interest. There wasn't really a message in there that hadn't been shoved down my thoat a thousand times before. I am a Cameron fan, but Avatar didn't exactly give me the "wow!" factor. Needs more than stunning CGI to win me over.
@ballebanan That's all Avatar was, a stunning CGI movie. Not that great of a movie, It was what I would imagine an acid trip to be like. It was like let's put some jelly fish in the air, make colorful dinosaur like creatures and call it a day. I turned it off shortly after he flew on that stupid thing. The movie was not good at all.
@runningbandit If you remember the scene from "Ferngully", how Zak jumped up to the machine to try and stop it, and the people in there said, that looks like Zak. Same thing in "Avatar", they Jake jumped up to the camera and the people said, "Looks like Jake".
Ferngully, Crysta gets upset that Zak is craving the tree.
Avatar, Neyteri gets upset when Jake tries to catch the tree spores/seeds that feel from the tree.
@ballebanan I somewhat agree, but the movie still blew me away. The story is imaginative enough even thought it follows a certain cliche. Its really all about the experience rather than the plotline.
Funny how theives like Cameron can steal ideas, add alot of visuals to it, and call it their own....Why cant hollywood let young creators join in on the fun and create ORIGINAL films.
we should totallly kill those farmers trying to make crops in brazil so that the earth can naturally make creatures and plants that will make michael j fox a good actor again, how bout killing babies for stem cells? earth mother commands it, take up bow and arrow after the peyote.
@notchjohnson1 reservoir dogs<city on fire and django(ear cutting scene), true romance<badlands, jackie brown is a remake, pulp fiction is taken from about 10 different films. rent some movies that were made before 1980 and youll figure it out.
@megamaid100 you could literally say that about any movie. you can find any scene that can come a little close to some other scene somewhere. its obvious especially because tarantino gives credit to a lot of movies that inspired his, but to say he is ripping them off is just plain biased and in a lot of our opinions, fucking stupid. im sorry but you can find comparisons behind a lot of movies but dont say tarantino rips other movies off when he doesnt you fucking moron

Original they say? I've already come up with three brilliant and Original Ideas!

Also does it really matter if the ideas were taken from someone else. the point of the movies are to express the need to stop deforestation, saving indigenous cultures and other similar issues. is it so bad to continue to try and make a point???
i love both movies

I have no problem with mashups like this... but that doesn't change the fact that they are troll bait. FernGully is really quite dissimilar to Avatar. They share the use of environmental destruction (in particular the clearing of forests) and the cooperation of members of opposing groups as plot devices, and put forth a strong environmentalist message. That's about it. Note that the dozer scene in Avatar could be claimed similar. Pocahontas? Um, no. Avatar was written before it was released.

@torukmakto4 doesn't matter if it was written before it was released the other film was released first. Is like saying inception had the dream idea before the matrix because it was written 10 years ago. Matrix was released first so there for it was one of the first movie that had the idea of dreams. Its a matter of whats first for people to see not what we hear.
ModernDayReview88 1 year ago
@ModernDayReview88 Yes, when talking about these originality claims, it DOES matter who wrote what and when, regardless of release dates. It may not matter in the public's eye as far as how a film is thought about, but it still stands that Cameron didn't derive anything from Pocahontas. That's a fact.

@torukmakto4 I disagree for all we know they can be full of shit and say they wrote it 10 years ago... I believe what I see not what I hear. Thats like someone telling your girl/man is cheating on you and she/he has been for 4 years your automatically going to believe that one person even thou u don't have proof?
ModernDayReview88 1 year ago
@ModernDayReview88 There is proof. The original iteration of the script was known as "Project 880" (this later became the codename for the Avatar project throughout its production) and WAS written in 1994. I have no reason to lie, but if you don't believe me, go do a little research on your own.

didn't ferngully come out in 1992 though?
RaDiAtOr730 1 year ago
@RaDiAtOr730 Yes it did, but I was talking about Pocahontas. Its similarity to Avatar, while still coincidental, is still greater than FernGully's.

i love how everyone is dissing on fern gully when it was made decades before avatar was even thought of. you cant call fern gully or pocahontas a rip off cause they were way before this time. i remember watching avatar and thinking for those who exact movies. who cares if they have similar characteristics. like other movies dont copy eachother. we live in the book into movie era if i may add

You are all misunderstanding.
Ferngully - (fav film as child) was published by Diana young in 1991.
Avatar was written in 1990 if I'm mistaken but James Cameron couldn't work on it because the technology hadn't caught up yet (technology he helped develop)
but everyone knows Avatar is not about the story which has more similarities to Pocahontas, but its famous for being the first film of its kind to be made from start to finish in all its 3D glory. Its a cinematic masterpiece!

@84panne Seriously I would love to see this so-called script that everyone is talking about. well, Anything could be fabricated. It can be lies.
1994 Avatar script was written. OK where's the evidence that Cameron wrote it?
But in reality yea, they do have some of the same elements, but so did Mononoke. Did Fern Gully also rip off of Mononoke Hime as well?
Japanamaniac 1 year ago
@Japanamaniac Shut up, you dumb twat. Cameron DID create the script in 1994 Mononoke really? That's a fucking anime FROM JAPAN you idiot. that really doesn't apply to avatar and Fern Gulley. Shut the hell up and go post you dumbass comments elsewhere. >:X

Seriously ! WTF! What is good then?Man Ferngully is one of 5 or 10 cinematic achivements in the history of the human kind that isn't just an entertaining bullshit.Which finally is no longer appreciated as it used to be what is clearly a sing the humanity is starting to mature.Even if small number now people nowdays dont want just mindless shows,they aim for something with a true meaning.....

Avatar didn't really grow on me. Watched about half and just completely lost interest. There wasn't really a message in there that hadn't been shoved down my thoat a thousand times before. I am a Cameron fan, but Avatar didn't exactly give me the "wow!" factor. Needs more than stunning CGI to win me over.
ballebanan 1 year ago 18
@ballebanan That's all Avatar was, a stunning CGI movie. Not that great of a movie, It was what I would imagine an acid trip to be like. It was like let's put some jelly fish in the air, make colorful dinosaur like creatures and call it a day. I turned it off shortly after he flew on that stupid thing. The movie was not good at all.
runningbandit 1 year ago 2
@runningbandit If you remember the scene from "Ferngully", how Zak jumped up to the machine to try and stop it, and the people in there said, that looks like Zak. Same thing in "Avatar", they Jake jumped up to the camera and the people said, "Looks like Jake".
Ferngully, Crysta gets upset that Zak is craving the tree.
Avatar, Neyteri gets upset when Jake tries to catch the tree spores/seeds that feel from the tree.
And many more.

@ballebanan I somewhat agree, but the movie still blew me away. The story is imaginative enough even thought it follows a certain cliche. Its really all about the experience rather than the plotline.

@notchjohnson1 reservoir dogs<city on fire and django(ear cutting scene), true romance<badlands, jackie brown is a remake, pulp fiction is taken from about 10 different films. rent some movies that were made before 1980 and youll figure it out.
megamaid100 1 year ago
@megamaid100 you could literally say that about any movie. you can find any scene that can come a little close to some other scene somewhere. its obvious especially because tarantino gives credit to a lot of movies that inspired his, but to say he is ripping them off is just plain biased and in a lot of our opinions, fucking stupid. im sorry but you can find comparisons behind a lot of movies but dont say tarantino rips other movies off when he doesnt you fucking moron
