Avatar VS. Ferngully: The Last Rainforest

My roommate Erin and I just had a heated discussion brought on by looking at pictures on Liz's blog from China. She went on a trip to the mountains that inspired Avatar scenes and they have a replica statue of the bird-like things the navi ride on in at this park in the Chinese mountains. I was trying to describe said creature when it came out that Erin has never seen Avatar. This pro/con list is inspired by our convo that followed.

AVATAR                                                                       FERNGULLY
Pro: sweet CG effects                                                  Pro: the original
Con: giant blue people                                                 Con: corny 90s music  
Pro: sweet wormy connections to the earth                   Pro: matriarchal society
Con: long                                                                    Con: mullets
Pro: Sigourney weaver                                                 Pro: Tim curry
Con: guy who plays norm                                            Con: guys who play workers and pip
Pro: beautiful fake scenery                                           Pro: Batty's rap
Con: stole story-line from ferngully                               

Well, that's what we could come up with. And since Ferngully is the original, and has one less con, it wins.
Score one for planet Earth.

Corny 90s music should be a PRO Lisa!
