Avatar Studios Projects - News and Discussion (Spoilers)

Animation takes time so makes sense

Especially with the level of quality that an Avatar production requires.

I cant believe that despite Nickelodeon being so horrible, they still make way better animation than Amazon. Invincible has terrible animation but Korra to this day looks absolutely amazing. The best of Studio Mir's output.

That's what happens when you have a company that has 35+ years of experience dealing with animation and a company where their streaming platform is not their main moneymaker(similar to Apple+).

This is so true but so sad. Nickelodeon might be bad now, but they are pioneers with lots of experience in the medium. I dont think Nickelodeon will still be here in 2027... But then again, the ratings have no where to go but up at this point.

Don't get me wrong, The Legend of Korra was a good show and Nickelodeon had a great idea to use Korra as a spin-off character after the original Avatar series ended. However the show would be anything but that as some fans praised Korra exploring the modern world, while others questioned narrative aspects and her overall character growth. While a success in the beginning, the show did hit roadblocks later on with fans saying some episodes felt rushed and lacked not only good details but the storytelling from Avatar. Fans really got upset when Nickelodeon unceremoniously pulled the show from TV and put seasons 3 and 4 exclusively online. By then the show's ratings were dropping and never recovered.

I dont know why are you telling me all of this? I never said the story or writing plotting was the best, but Korra did have really great animation, which Invincible REALLY struggles with despite being a huge mainstream hit, watercooler talk that everyone loves and its animation is pathetic. I dont like Korra, I am just amazed Nick knew how to pull this off better than Amazon.

This is it Nick, if you FINALLY provide an epic, awesome, 2D animated Avatar movie you will rule THE WORLD.

 

[Neo Ultra Mike]

You know considering the movie is at this point only... what less then 8 months away I really hope it's more "Studio Mir has been working on this movie for quite a long time and is now only putting on the finishing touches" but yeah can't wait to see it on the big screen. Like I will give major props even before seeing the movie to the fact they are committed to ATLA films at least like this one being 2D affairs instead of massive CGI explosions which wouldn't really fit this franchise as well.

Studio Mir will work on the Legend of Aang movie.

It wouldn't be Avatar without them .

Hope we really get their A-game here .

Establishing a secure connection ...

The movie now comes out October 9, 2026

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Avatar: The Legend Of Aang Hit With Delay"​

"The good news is, we’ve got an all-new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie coming our way: The Legend Of Aang! The bad news is that legend is going to take far longer to get here than anyone thought.

In 2022 three Avatar movies were announced to be in development. Later that month it was revealed the first would be about an older Aang (the other two still have yet to be revealed even now). Lauren Montgomery, who served on both ATLA and Korra, was announced as the director alongside William Mata, with creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino serving as producers.

The original release date, believe it or not, was pegged for this October. It was then pushed to January 30, 2026, and as of this week, it won’t be ready until October 9, 2026 — a delay of an entire year. It’s not alone…the same day, Paramount had to admit its sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is also being pushed back twelve months, to a 2027 street date. Aang will at least be here before then."

The hype is real.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. When they did Korra, it was their first project and the only thing they were doing at the time, so of course they were going to put a lot into it, their more recent projects haven't had the same reception. Supposedly they got burned out with Korra season one and later seasons had fewer drawings per episode. The movie will probably be good because of the budget, but don't expect Seven Havens to be the same.

Even at the most hated, I saw the animation, and it never really dove into awful. Heck, even the supposedly infamous final season DIDNT look awful. I never saw any MiR show ever reach those "lows" people says Korra had, in fact other than X-Men 97 no other MiR show has reached those hights, at most I would just say that mecha in the final season looked ugly.

I think that delaying the movie is for the best. While we aren't really that close to January right now, not having any kind of teaser or more information on the movie seemed a bit odd. This way, they have more time to hype up the movie, as well as have more time for the production.

Yeah. All animation really needs is time and Money. When you have those two things you are good to go. Sure, you have to make sure the WRITING is good, but I hope all the success anime has had on USA has created an apetite for a sakuga 2d fest feature length movie.

 

[SpecialColorfull]

Sorry for using the really geeky term. BUT...

I have to say I am hoping the Avatar The Last Airbender movie brings down the thunder animation wise. We've never seen a 2D movie do the sort of crazy feats that are done on a weekly basis in Japan. I really want this to be a success and a trend setter.

 

[Corwin Haught]

Prepare to be disappointed as the film will be a 2D/CGI hybrid.

Paramount Significantly Delays Two Of Its Animated Features
