You mean, "Dances with Smurfs"?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

It's clearly ripping off Pocahontas, not Dances With Wolves.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I mean yeah it was a shit film but it obviously had "business" being made because it was the highest grossing film ever for a while. I think it was the start of Holywood going out their way to crack the Chinese market (or at least the first time they did it successfully).

Avatar at least had the excuse of existing to push 3D and mo-cap technology.

Not sure about Avatars 2-5...

Avatar 2 came out in '22. Same basic plot, but the water effects are stunning.

3 is completed and will be out for Christmas. 4 and 5 are in the pipeline.

(All the trailers on YouTube so far are AI Bullshit, be warned).

Avatar 4 and 5:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_4

"it is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029.[8][9] A sequel, Avatar 5, is in development and is expected to be released on December 19, 2031."

Yeah, I watched it in a 3d cinema at the time and it was a great experience. Not the pocahontas story, but the cinematics. Avatar 2 was just shit. It's like they're pretending to be a real scifi franchise by building an entire world.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

2 completed and released with 3 more in the pipeline.

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

There are 2 out already, Cameron is making till 5 right now.

Edit: Till 5 or more, I can't remember.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

There's like three or four already out. Or something. Whatever the actual number is, I'm always amazed.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Only two out so far. The third is arriving in December.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

The third is arriving in December.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago

Lmao see? I had no idea even one sequel was out

Movie magic at it's finest

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 12 points 21 hours ago

i love that the answer to "which one?" is "doesn't matter, they suuuuuuck"

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 12 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Incredible summary. 10/10.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

At first I thought you meant the first Airbender movie. Which also fits the criteria here.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

This but nickelodeons avatar live action remakes.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I know it's just rehash Pocahontas but I enjoyed it. Suspend all that crap for a second and just enjoyed it
