Avatar: The Last Airbender
The program is about a world where people can control, or "bend," one of the four elements—water, earth, fire, or air. The main character is Aang. He is the "Avatar". This means he can bend all four elements. In the series, Aang and his friends Katara, Sokka, and later Toph Beifong must save the world by defeating Fire Lord Ozai. Ozai is the ruler of the Fire Nation. Aang and his friends want to end a war between the Fire Nation and the other nations. The war has lasted for one hundred years. At the same time, Zuko tries to capture Aang and defeat him. Zuko used to be the prince of the Fire Nation. The series is based on different parts of Asian culture. The moves that the characters make when they bend are based on different styles of martial arts. These include kung fu and tai chi. The art style of the series is similar to the style of Japanese anime.
