Giant battle on a hostile alien planet...y'know, for kids. New trailer for "The Little Avatar"

"Gee willikers mommy! Do you think after the funny blue man is finished in the magical rainbow forest he'll have time to go swimming in the chocolate river where all his dreams come true?"

"Oh I'm sure he will Timmy. I'm sure he will."

So I was watching the latest trailer for James Cameron's Avatar and um...what the fuck?!



Honestly, if it wasn't for the epic trailer from last week that promised insane amounts of violence with missiles and monsters and all that awesome stuff, this trailer might have very well put me off going to see this film. I just pray that this is simply a whorish attempt on behalf of the studio to trick parents into letting their kids see what will hopefully still be a very action oriented film, and not an accurate reflection of what the movie is really like. I honestly thought I was watching the trailer for a Disney movie or something.

Anyway, just a quick note to you all you marketers out there; the following phrases should not be allowed to be used in reference to the newest film from the guy who made Terminator, Terminator 2 and Aliens:

"a place beyond your imagination"
"where wonder lives and adventure rules"
"experience the wonder"
"greatest adventure of all time"

Seriously people, it's Pandora, not Hogwarts. Show some god damn respect.

Avatar will be in theatres worldwide from December 17th. Take the whole family.
