They were written, casted, performed, filmed and editted in entirely different ways.
1. Setting: Avatar's world of Pandora does not exist, sorry daniel. It was created by a Simulcam which combined live action with CGI in real time to create a virtual space that Cameron could alter. Where as TBTR which had no where near the technology and funding (and also had no requirement for such equipment) that avatar had and settled for the conventional filming technique. good but what does this actually mean?
2. Actors: In TBTR there are known british actors and 'not famous ones.' This makes the film easy to relate to and gives it a casual feel. Where as Avatar wanted their main character to be appear as an 'almost average joe' to just add to the subtleness of its realistic feel, the actors in avatar are also american so immediately we can tell that the two films will be different just because of their actors if not for other reasons.
3. Scripts: Script in TBTR is comedic with british humour and popular culture references to 60's Britain. Where as Avatar is more accessible and has something for everyone as its themes and genre are very loose as it is a hybrid.
4. Budget: Avatar became known worlwide as a hollywood blockbuster and its appeall has grown due to its acclaim and spread through word of mouth. The money put into a film sometimes reassures the veiwer/audience that the film is 'worth it'. The modest budget for TBTR, compared to Avatar, could have possibly made it stand out less but may have also allowed it to appear in more cultural british cinema's etc allowing it to reach different audiences that Avatar may not have been able to.
