Please. The Smurfs have more of a case than that. It's ridiculous what people will do these days for money and publicity.
Sounds like Native Americans and Ancient Greeks have a better claim to much of these CLASSIC and AGE OLD ideas. This will go NOWHERE. Silly.
Exactly. Most likely this lawsuit is just to get publicity/attention, otherwise that author is just ignorant. Either way, pathetic...
I heard Gargamel is also suing, as he feels the Marines' pursuit of Home Tree was a blatantly plagiarized version of his lifelong pursuit of the Smurf Village.
I hope you guys know I was being sarcastic
The only lawsuit I see that could hurt Cameron was there there was a sci fi writer who wrote a book in the 60's that described Avatar down to a T including the giant blue alien thing, but most of them will be bought off and thats it.
Now speaking of all time gross, do you guys think that they are re-releasing Titanic in 3D so it could take the #1 spot BACK from Avatar?
Well looking at the worldwide all time it won't happen:
1 Avatar $2,782,275,172 2009 [# 1]
2 Titanic $1,843,201,268 1997 [# 2]
But the all time USA could:
1. Avatar (2009) $760,505,847
2. Titanic (1997) $600,779,824
Titanic was a pretty good film, and is actually credited to be the most accurate film ever made on the incident. I did wish sometimes it would focus more on the ship, and not the pretend love story he had to melt into it, Avatar by no means was a groundbreaking film as far as story, but it just had some incredible visuals.
Both we considered ahead of its time when they came out, that is the reason why he holds his head up so high.
Geeez, you film student types analyze things until you come up with theories the director never thought of. Cameron may or may not be a schmuck and egotist. Who cares. He spends unjustifiable amounts of money and makes it back for the studios in spades. The only reason they made the money back is because people thought it was as great entertainment as he (Cameron) promised it would be. Getting into the weeds on the subject is pointless unless your objective is to convince millions of people that his work is junk. Good luck with that.

I doubt even Disney knows this. They basically announced this as soon as the deal was signed, so it is believed that they are still in the planning stages for the land.Do we know the offical budget for this whole project
Oh when ever I found out about this my Mom texted me saying Aniamal Kingdom was getting Avatar I was like that is a load of BS mom then I looked on here and I couldnt believe what I saw Disney actually doing something for Aniamal Kingdom I was really excited i'm guessing Disney will show some details about the area by Spring 2013 cuz isnt that when constrction supposedly begins ?
