I loved the "Avatar" movie!
I think that it was inspired by Anastasia, at least on inner levels.
I've included in this post an interesting clip of an article of how the Vatican views the movie "Avatar". After reading the article, I thought, "wait until the Anastasia movie comes out, the Vatican will be really shakened up!".
Here's the clip:

VATICAN CITY – The Vatican newspaper and radio station have called the film
"Avatar" simplistic, and criticized it for flirting with modern doctrines that
promote the worship of nature as a substitute for religion.
L'Osservatore Romano and Vatican Radio dedicated ample coverage to James
Cameron's big-grossing, 3-D spectacle. But the reviews were lukewarm, calling
the movie superficial in its eco-message, despite groundbreaking visual effects.
L'Osservatore said the film "gets bogged down by a spiritualism linked to the
worship of nature." Similarly, Vatican Radio said it "cleverly winks at all
those pseudo-doctrines that turn ecology into the religion of the millennium."
"Nature is no longer a creation to defend, but a divinity to worship," the radio
said.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said that while the movie reviews
are just that — film criticism, with no theological weight — they do reflect
Pope Benedict XVI's views on the dangers of turning nature into a "new
divinity."
Benedict has often spoken about the need to protect the environment, earning the
nickname of "green pope." But he has sometimes balanced that call with a warning
against neo-paganism.
