After the Hunchback, Pocahontas is my second favorite of the post-sixties Disney films. So that does make me hopeful for Avatar.
Seriously, the "noble savage girl (or man) meets civilized white man (or woman), their love draws them together, but loyaltydraws them apart is an age-old variation of Romeo & Juliet. James Cameron certainly didn't invent it, but neither did the Disney people.
