"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is an animated series which made its premiere on Nickelodeon in February 2005.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Fire Nation from conquering the world. But when the world needed him the most, he disappeared. Nobody has seen him in a hundred years. Until now...

On the South Pole, a lone Water Tribe village struggles to survive. It is here that a young Waterbender named Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange boy from a cavernous iceberg. But Aang is not just fun-loving and adventurous. He is also an Airbender, a race of people no one has seen in a hundred years...

The epic story of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" follows the journey of Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen), a young boy torn between fulfilling his fate as the long-awaited Avatar and just wanting to be a regular kid. Aang is called upon to lead the fight against the vicious Fire Nation to restore balance in his war-torn world. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Mae Whitman) and her bull-headed warrior brother Sokka (Jack DeSena), Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to save the world while sometimes shaking off his heavy responsibilities so that he can enjoy being a kid.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" was created by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko who also serve as executive producers.  DiMartino is an award-winning filmmaker and has worked on the prime-time animated series "King of the Hill," "Family Guy" and "Mission Hill." Konietzko was a character designer for "Family Guy," assistant director on "Mission Hill" and "King of the Hill" and a storyboard artist and art director for Nickelodeon's "Invader Zim."

The animated series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," has inspired M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender," a live-action epic adventure from Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies which will debut in domestic theaters July 2010. Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will serve as executive producers on the film.
