Those films are weird in that I enjoy them while I'm sitting there, but the moment it finishes I couldn't name or describe a single one of the characters in it or any details of the plot.
It's because they messed up a fundamental principle of character design - we can tell real human faces apart because our brains are highly tuned to it, but with cartoons and CGI faces you need to really exaggerate differences to get them to stick in the mind. The Avatar team tried to go for some notion of realism instead, and tripped over their own feet with a lineup who are virtually indistinguishable from each other.
