I don't know if I would call it my "favorite" deleted scene, but I really enjoyed "Pied Piper." Maybe because it was completely new... the other scenes I felt like I'd seen already, sort of, since I've read the script.

Apart from being very, very cute, "Pied Piper" was interesting because it further illustrates the difference between how the adults treat Jake and how the kids treat him. In general throughout the movie, I've noticed that the younger an Omaticaya is, the more they seem to like Jake. I imagine it's because they've seen less and have less baggage and mistrust. Maybe also because Jake is somewhat childlike himself, due to his inexperience, so he relates better with the younger Na'vi. For example, when he goes on ikinimaya with the young hunters, they're all in the same (dangerous) boat together, so the young hunters are rooting for him, whereas Tsu'tey just wants to see Jake fail humiliatingly.

The shot in the "Grandma's Teylu" scene with the little girl was cool for the same reasons. :-)

You came back
How do you make up after you've done the unforgivable? Jake and Neytiri have a conversation in the wake of Hometree's destruction, during their first real moment alone following his return as Toruk Makto.

The Last Train Home
Fourteen years after the war, a lone spaceship appears in the sky. The former members of the Avatar program watch its approach – expecting the worst, fearing for their adopted home. Then the ship lands. And suddenly, nothing makes sense anymore.

Five seconds too late
This is a different kind of Jake/Neytiri romance, the story that would've unfolded had she been delayed for just five seconds while trying to reach him following the fight with Quaritch.

I liked that scene. It shows the little girl in the +8 and +16 minute versions too, so you don't only see that in the deleted scene.
