Heh, I've see all three movies and IMO yeah it's plot is much more identical to in characters, plot, themes to Ferngully than it is to Dances with Wolves, thus my focusing on that as a comparison point of *merit*. Avatar's approach is also much more simplistic and childlike (and I mean that not in a bad way) and much more focused on eco elements than tribal adaptation/adoption. Basically I'm not convinced Avatar is a movie aimed at adults, and Ferngully is both smarter and yeah darker than it's kiddie origins.
