FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992)

It’s time for Earth Day, so I thought it would be appropriate to talk about Avatar. Well, Avatar doesn’t take place on Earth, but it still has an environmental message so technically it counts, right?

Anyways, everyone practically knows about Avatar, it’s essentially Pocahontas with tall, blue cat aliens. The film takes place far into the future where Earth is running out of resources, and humanity travels to a distant moon called Pandora to colonize it. The colonization threatens a tribe called the Na’vi (the tall blue cat aliens) and some people, including Jack Sully (Sam Worthington) want to form a diplomacy with the tribe before conflict ensues.

I watched Avatar when it came out back in 2009, and I thought it was amazing. The special effects were phenomenal, and as a fan of science fiction, I was floored by the world of Pandora.
