Looks nice, Avatar seems to fit Animal Kingdom more and more.

He may have come up with it but it would have gone through focus groups and marketing before being selected and then approved, several other titles would have also been offered up as well. Anyway, a silly little joke people are taking far too literally is derailing the thread.

Wrong again…Disney approved in allowing the sequel to happen(and who wouldn’t when the first was the biggest movie of all time) but Cameron gave Avatar the title

AndyS2992Dec 10, 2022

Disney would have had to approve it first

Prince-1Dec 10, 2022

Sorry you are totes wrong. James Cameron named it. Disney had nothing to do with it.

AndyS2992Dec 10, 2022

Okay, whilst not an imagineer, Disney owns 20th Century Fox, and therefore Disney did name it.

Cmdr_CrimsonDec 10, 2022

I see the title and I still think of..

Prince-1Dec 10, 2022

The name of the new movie is Avatar: The Way of Water. Disney had nothing to do with it.

AndyS2992Dec 10, 2022

Totes original name there.. Moana: Journey of Water.. Avatar: Way of Water.. Seems an imagineer at Disney has a fetish for water.

Not to mention Pandora has been part of the projection show since the beginning (predating Pandora itself by a few months.)
