Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some regions) is an American animated television series which aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon. The series began in February 2005, and concluded with a two-hour episode in July 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people can manipulate the classical elements with psychokinetic variants of the Chinese martial arts known as "bending". The series combines anime with American cartoons, and relies on the imagery of East Asian, Inuit, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and New World societies. It follows the protagonist, twelve-year-old Aang and his friends, who must bring peace and unity to the world by ending the Fire Lord's war with the other three nations.
The series was commercially successful and was universally acclaimed by audiences and critics, with praise for its art direction, humor, cultural references, characters, and themes. It was nominated for, and won, Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Peabody Award. The first season's success prompted Nickelodeon to order a second and third season. The series inspired a critically panned but financially successful live-action film, The Last Airbender, directed by M. Night Shyamalan; action figures; a trading card game; three video games; stuffed animals distributed by Paramount Parks and two Lego sets. An art book was published in June 2010. A sequel series, The Legend of Korra, aired from 2012 to 2014.
