Aang, the current Avatar, must master the four elements (Air, Water, Earth, and Fire) to end the war. The Fire Nation is waging a seemingly endless imperialist war against the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes, following the genocide of the Air Nomads one hundred years ago.

The season revolves around the protagonist Aang and his friends Katara and Sokka going on a journey to the North Pole to find a Waterbending master to teach Aang and Katara.

The series starred Zach Tyler Eisen, Mae Whitman, Jack DeSena, Dante Basco, Dee Bradley Baker, Mako Iwamatsu, and Jason Isaacs as the main character voices. It consisted of 20 episodes and concluded on December 2, 2005. Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the first season premiered on Nickelodeon on February 21, 2005. So whether you're a new fan or have been loving the show for years, you definitely don't want to miss this.Book One: Water is the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio. Several mini specials are shown throughout, with the characters shown in adorable chibi style.

Of course, series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko also make an appearance breaking down the show's finale. Fans who watched the show when it was on air will also recognize Sifu Kisu, who was the show's martial arts expert, who used to appear on commercial breaks to break down the different bending techniques. Iroh is not involved at all and Aang's voice actor is also completely different.Īlong with the original pilot, the hour and 15 minute long special also includes behind the scenes moments with the animation studios JM Animation, DR Movie, and MOI Animation, who worked on the series. The pilot also starts off with them already on their adventure, after they found Aang, instead of when they originally saw him in the iceberg. Some of the bending looks a bit different as well, particularly firebending. Aang's personality has also changed as he often hits on Katara and is a lot more reckless. Towards the end of the pilot, Aang saves her and Katara looks absolutely scared, kind of pointing that she was a lot less confident in the pilot. The name was later used in The Legend of Korra for Katara and Aang's daughter.

Some differences include Katara's first name, which was originally Kya. Although it looks like some things have been kept the same, there were some major changes from it to the original first episode that aired. About 43 minutes into the special video, fans can check out what originally was supposed to be the first episode of the series.
