While I'm not thrilled about this addition either, let's not forget that the main theme of Avatar is conservation. Isn't that what Animal Kingdom is all about? Maybe I'm being optimistic, but hopefully this addition will bring the issues of conservation and preservation to an audience that would otherwise have skipped over Animal Kingdom.

While I also am no fan of the Avatar announcement, this is not some sort of ground-breaking shift away from Disney branding: Eisner's regime started that.

I completely agree with you. It's a terrible idea to add a NON Disney movie to a Disney park. I hope they re think this a listen to the fans of Disney before moving forward with this. It will be one area of AK that I will not visit.
