New Video Shows World of AVATAR Coming to Life

Since the first announcement that Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be home to a land based on innovative filmmaker James Cameron’s hit feature film AVATAR, we’ve eagerly reported every update—and today our friends at the Disney Parks Blog have shared an exciting one: a video of a recent walkthrough James Cameron and Chief Operating Officer (and former Chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts) Tom Staggs took of the developing experience.

The teams have really created something special, and it’s not going to be like anything else

Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering, reported on the Parks Blog that Cameron said, “I think one of the things that people loved about the movie is that they felt as if they had visited Pandora . . .  now, thanks to Disney’s amazing Imagineers, people are going to truly experience Pandora firsthand. From the details in the plants to the production and design, extraordinary thought and care has gone into this entire world. The teams have really created something special, and it’s not going to be like anything else.”
