Ah yes, Avatar.
Though the show may be over, it lives on in my heart and on my DVDs.
Let's talk about one of the greatest cartoons ever produced.
Everything about this show was near-flawless in execution.
Toph is pretty much the best.
She's also blind.

I'm keeping my expectations very, very low.
What, you don't think an ensemble of extremely-white children can pull it off?
Nope, that's another mov ie by a similar name.
Avatar (renamed The Last Airbender) is directed by M. Night Shymalan.
also I rewatched season two the other day and it was so good
It's hard for a lot of people to get past the anime-look, but it's got the best choreography/storytelling/music/voice acting I've seen in any western cartoon.
Season one has some good episodes, but is kind of weak. Especially compared to two and three, but it's all worth watching.
It has great art, wonderful animation, and superb writing. The show was a planned story from start to end, so they told it how they wanted it, instead of just dragging it on or getting canceled before the story was done.
And the main cast were amazingly good voice actors for being relatively inexperienced at first. Though I suppose the voice director, Andrea Romano, is quite a bit responsible for that as well.
Yeah you're not the only one.
I still don't like the character design for Aang, but the show is good so I guess it doesn't really matter.
Netflix is your friend, McCly. Also I think Nickelodeon has some of the episodes on turbonick.
Some of the people who worked on the show also worked on King of the Hill, which is such a different show that it borders on hilarious
Definitely. The voice actors did an excellent job
One big plus in the show is how naturally the characters behave and interact; throughout the story all of the characters have their share of mistakes and personal problems in a way that isn't always just trying to serve some major plot device.
It's also pretty cool that they hired a martial arts expert to help the animation team with the fighting choreography.
The creators (or at least one of them) worked on Invader Zim for a while.
Well I can see that. They're pretty much the same show
There's actually a pretty obscure reference to Zim, apparently. In the commentary for an episode, one of them said that the hobo-looking dude who was sucking on an ear of corn on the Earth Kindom monorail-thingy was supposed to be a reference to a hobo who carried around an ear of corn in a later episode of Zim.
Zim has some goddamned amazing animation, by the way.
It's a dying art

They are spendy. I fully believe they are worth it, but just wanted to give you the heads up.
Genndy Tartakovsky is probably the best man Cartoon Network ever had.
Timm and Dini are up there. The DCAU is amazing.
McCracken deserves credit as well. PPG is tons of fun and Foster's is brilliant.
I just turned 29 a few days ago.
this is another series I have to buy
I just dropped $80 on the bluray set of Band Of Brothers
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I'd have to ask what exactly you were seeing.
Season one was defnitely more childish and less serious (For the most part) than two or three.
Also I am almost 26.
When the show was first going to come on the air I practically begged some of my friends to give it a few weeks to really give the show a chance. They were sold by the time the cast reached the Southern Air Temple
Well than I don't get it. Maybe I'll give it a few more episodes because I pretty much love all the other cartoons you just mentioned.
also no harsh feelings on the age stuff it's just hard to tell around here.
Whatever happened to ol' Genndy?
I remember the days when he basically owned the entire cartoon cartoon fridays lineup. The fact that he had full control of Samurai Jack showcased how much power he had on Cartoon Network.
After the Clone Wars cartoon, he just dropped off the face of the planet. Haven't seen anything from him since then.
A lot of the best parts of the show come from knowing the characters and seeing how they react in their own way to situations

No doubt. Also, Tartakovsky had a big hand in PPG as well, on all four fronts; producer, writer, director, and animator.
he's working on a movie I think?
He's currently storyboarding Iron Man 2, and a Samurai Jack animated film is on the horizon.
The man's keeping busy.
Well I would hope Genndy had a big hand in PPG; It was his own series after all.
But hell, by the time you get to the last episodes you're probably not going to be referring to it as a kid's show ever again.
What's he up to at the moment?
Edit: FUUUUUCK DARK CRYSTAL WHAT IS THIS YESS
Satans..... hints.....
I suspect the problem is that you're expecting an "adult" cartoon.
That's not what this show is. It's a great show for kids, but it also is a great show for grown-ups. The best way I can describe it is to paraphrase how Lasseter (or was it Brad Bird? I don't remember) talks about Pixar movies. They don't make a show specifically for kids, they just make a damn good show that also happens to not have anything that's inappropriate for kids.
