That’s rare for a kids’ cartoon.Īfter watching Avatar, you’ll be left wondering, “Well, what now?” We’ve got you covered with a list of shows to watch next that just might help fill the void, so don’t be discouraged! Avatar is a recurring theme in many of the stories we’ve read, whether they’re about magical quests, super-powered teenagers, or just growing up in a strange, scary world.


That it deals with very real and serious themes like genocide, classism, and fighting against a militaristic, fascist society, helps a lot. Due to the fact that the story and animation in Avatar have stood the test of time, it should come as no surprise that people are still drawn to it after all these years. In the Nickelodeon cartoon, Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) is a 12-year-old boy who joins forces with his friends to overthrow an oppressive regime by utilizing his unique ability to “bend” all four elements: water, fire, earth, and air.

Popularity has risen for Avatar: The Last Airbender since the show first aired in 2005, and for good reason.
