Avatar Land moving ahead

WDW Magic.com reports on the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Avatar Land at Animal Kingdom. The Festival of the Lion King show is being moved to Africa. 
Camp Minnie Mickey closed just days ago, and already the site is a sealed off construction zone. Earlier this week leaders from Disney and Lightstorm Entertainment took part in a ceremonial ground breaking.
Having this new Land tied directly to the movie seems risky.  The violence and militaristic themes of the movie would have to be kept far away, but if the 2nd Avatar movie contains as much violence this could create problems by association.   If Disney wanted some kind of exotic forest why not create one from imagination that recalls the best days of Disney Imagineering?
