20 Things You Somehow Missed In Avatar
4. There's A Lorax Easter Egg
Given that Avatar is trying to immerse the audience in a distinctly alien world, it makes sense that James Cameron keeps the pop-culture references to an absolute minimum.
And in fact, perhaps the only major nod to an earthly IP can be seen in Grace's school, where on the floor a tatty copy of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax can be seen for a brief moment. In Avatar's Extended Cut, we can also see Grace reading the book to a group of Na'vi children.
The Lorax is a fitting choice, of course, given that it's an environmentalist story about man's industrious desire to destroy nature in the pursuit of wealth. Sound familiar?
