However relevant it may not be to you, you do recall that Avatar is the best-selling movie of all time... Right? So if you haven't seen it, don't recall it, or didn't care for it, it's just because your kids were 7 when it came out.
You should go watch (rewatch) it. We did the other day. It is a really great movie... The world they created is beautiful and the quality so high it could have been made yesterday and you wouldn't know. It's got a really great theme about conservation and appreciation for life and this fits amazingly well within the Animal Kingdom.
Outdated... Star Wars is from 1977.
Highest grossing and 'best-selling' are 2 different things. By 'best-selling' Avatar is estimated at #15 on the chart of estimated ticket sales.

Disney owned the rights to the Narnia books for awhile and made two films from them. I wonder why they didn't consider that property for a land in AK back then?
Film rights does not equal theme park rights. Otherwise Universal would have had to negotiate with WB for Harry Potter and someone would have built a Lord of the Rings land by now.
