Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some regions) is an American animated television series created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino. It aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons, from February 2005 to July 2008.[2] Avatar is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people can manipulate the classical elements with psychokinetic variants of the Chinese martial arts known as "bending". The series is presented in a style that combines anime with American cartoons and relies on the imagery of East/South Asian, Inuit, and New World societies. It primarily follows the protagonists, 12-year-old Aang and his friends, who must bring peace and harmony to the world by ending the Fire Nation's war with the rest of the Four Nations.
The series was commercially successful and was acclaimed by audiences and critics, who praised its art direction, humor, cultural references, characters, and themes. The first season's success prompted Nickelodeon to order a second and third season. It was nominated for—and won—five Annie Awards, a Genesis Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. As of March 2020, Avatar has a critics score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.[3]
Avatar is continued by a comics series published since 2005, set during and after the events of the TV series. An art book was published in June 2010. The series inspired a critically panned but financially successful live-action film, The Last Airbender (2010), which was directed by M. Night Shyamalan and is considered one of the worst movies ever made. An animated sequel series, The Legend of Korra, aired from 2012 to 2014. A new live-action remake of the series by its original creators to be produced for Netflix was announced in September 2018.[4] The complete series was released on Blu-ray in June 2018 for the 10th anniversary of the show's finale
