(...)And then there's Wizards.The Character of Avatar is (in personality) uncomfortably close to Vaugn (sp?) Bodé's Cheech Wizard. The World background, character design, and large sections of the story closely resemble a longer work of Bodé's; Strontium 90. If Bodé's heirs and assigns ever recieved one thin dime from the movie, I never heard about it.This is one of my wife's favorite films, so we compromise. I'll put up with it in the house, but we buy it used. Until I am authoratatively told otherwsie I must assume that Bakshi doesn't deserve any remuneration.
