The Last Rainforest

Avatar has become one of, if not THE, highest grossing movies of all time. I asked a friend about it a few days ago and he told me it was really just a souped up Fern Gully. I saw it tonight, and yes it is incredible and the IMAX 3D experience is something well worth the $10 ticket, but ... he was exactly right. In fact if you begin to type "Avatar F" into google, Fern Gully is the first to come up suggested. If you actually search for it, you find dozens of these remade trailers of one of the first tree-hugging movies ever made. It would be funnier if you had seen the movie and understand how RIDICULOUSLY similar the story lines are, but you still get the idea.

I know I don't movies very well but is this for real? Was Fern Gully an actual film or is this just a spoof? Just movie challenged as always.....
