For those who can't get quite enough of
Aang and his gang after highly raved about Nickelodeon animated series A
vatar: The Last Airbender ended its season on a high note (read: 19 million viewers on its final week), you're in luck, as the complete box set of
Avatar Book 3 will debut on DVD this September 16.
Other than, of course, the 21 episodes of the phenomenal season, the DVD set will also have several bonus features, such as Inside Sozin's Comet: Exclusive Four-Part Audio Commentary by Creators, The Women of
Avatar: The Last Airbender, Book 3 Finale Pencil Test Animation, and Into the Fire Nation at San Diego Comic-Con.
If we'd remember,
Avatar Book 3 saw Aang facing new challenges as he and his friends go undercover and enter the Fire Nation in order to find and defeat Fireload Ozai. On the way there, Aang his posse discover that Ozai plans to use the massive power of Sozin's Comet to lord over the four nations. Trying to learn a lot of bending in a limited period of time, he is surprised to find some friends in the heart of the Fire Nation. We need not tell you how exciting the finale is, as Aang must fulfill his destiny of becoming a full-pledged Avatar or fail, and let the world fail with him.
Prior to the success it enjoyed on the small screen (now seen in over 105 countries complete with action figures, costumes, video games, even Lego products, the whole shebang),
Avatar: The Last Airbender will not spare the big screen, as it is scheduled to be made into a trilogy of live-action movies by no less than M. Night Syamalan himself, which is slated for a July 2010 release.
First pitched to Nickelodeon in 2002,
Avatar creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino didn't realize it was going to be this big, they said in a prior interview.
