I'm not going to argue that the movie isn't clearly a hollywood trope, but you seem to be implying with your statement that something intended for children can't be meaningful, which I strongly disagree with.
my whole issue with avatar is I find the arguments about why it sucks a bit pointless. the fact of the matter is that the majority of people who see it are touched and come away thinking about how great pandora is and nature and war and all of that, and I don't see HOW that could possibly be a bad thing. sure, it might be pocahontas in space, or dances with blue talking wolves, but anything that makes man feel compassion for the environment and aversion to war, IMO, is meaningful.
