*****
In a world where the four elements can be controlled by people known as “Benders”, the Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war to control the other great nations. The only hope for stopping the brutal war led by the Firebenders rests on the shoulders of a reluctant young boy named Aang (Noah Ringer). The last known survivor of the peaceful Air Nomads, also known as Airbenders, Aang is also the world’s “Avatar”. The “Avatar” is the physical re-incarnation of the world itself, with the power to manipulate all four elements.
Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara and her bull-headed brother Sokka , Aang begins a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Standing in their way are Fire Nation Admiral Zhao and Prince Zuko , the banished prince of the Fire Nation who seeks to capture the young Avatar to regain his honor.

I can’t help but be reminded of my friend Ane and her son Lucas when it comes to Legend of Aang. Lucas can really pull off Aang really well! I hope he’ll be excited to check this one out when it comes out!

First Commenter:
Chop!
I love the cartoon, I hope the movie will be as good, if not better!
the casting is pretty off.
They’ve got pasty white people playing darker skinned people *Katara and Sokka* and darker skinned people playing pasty white people *Zuko.*
but I really hope the movie turns out well.
if it’s half as good as the original series, I’ll be happy.
I’m SO excited for this movie! I loved the show, and it seems like their going to do it justice.
I know a lot of people are upset about the ethnicity of the actors and stuff, but personally, I don’t really care if they look too much like them. What matters to me is if they portray the character well. I don’t really care what they look like so long as they do that.
Very excited!
This is stupid it sould be on cartoon like it should be!!
