Avatar The Last Airbender - Book 3 Fire, Vol. 4

I'm so glad I purchased the whole Avatar series, part on Amazon Unbox Service and the rest via Amazon DVD purchase. I've so enjoyed the entire Avatar series with my kids and have been amazed as to the depth the writers have put into it. At first glance it might look like just another cute kids anime cartoon but on closer examination I found wonderful examples of interpersonal relating, forgiveness, inner healing, anger management, trust of self and of soul predispositions & healing. I noted one of the most simple, elegant, yet complete expressions of the chakra system in a way that kids could begin to understand their emotional state of being and how this interacts with the body's energy centers as well as subtle suggestion as to how to begin the path to being balanced and free of emotional baggage yet rich in energy and expression... So much more.While I understand that some of strong religious devotion may see some of this content as evil or bad, I personally found it refreshing, very much about balance, healing and learning to truly Be a heart based human, not just act like one, so many encouragements to real authenticity... I applaud the writers of this series and encourage more!

The ending to this extremely entertaining series is a sight to behold for the entire family! The end battles between antagonists were simply poetry in motion (the sights, sounds, movement of characters, clever tactics, just beautiful to watch). Anyone that has seen any of the past episodes (and those that haven't) must not miss Book 3 Vol. 4. Aside from the visuals and sounds there are so many messages (some hidden, some obvious) that you must view it a few times so as not to miss them all.I too am worried that a live action Avatar in the "wrong hands" would be a disaster. I cannot wait for a comprehensive Blue Ray box set of the entire series. If you are new to the series I suggest starting from the beginning to fully understand what has lead up to this epic conclusion (your kids will also love you for it ;^). Kudos to all of those involved in the creation of this FLAWLESS FAMILY MASTERPIECE!P.S. Now bring on the Blue Ray Box Set...

Many times an animated series ends long before it actually ends, but not in this case. This last disc: "Avatar, The Last Airbender - Book 3, Vol. 4", fulfills the promise of all previous episodes. An earlier reviewer commented that episode #17 was non essential, I disagree, you needed a comedic break before you began the headlong rush to the series conclusion.The finale manages to avoid the predictable gun battle, duel to the death common to most series conclusions, Aang finds his own way. I've watch the series from the beginning have rarely been disappointed with an episode. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of animated story telling.There is talk of a live action feature film in the works. Hopefully it lives up to the series. Unfortunately they have chosen a director whose failures outnumber his successes. Lets hope he succeeds as this series deserves a success. We need to see more stories like this.

Bueno

Our family, that is mum, dad, sister and brother love this series. In Australia it is shown on TV in the mornings from time to time.It is funny and makes you want to watch more. - we bought the whole series. On TV we have watched most of the series - but of course we've also missed episodes. With the DVDs we've been able to fill in all the gaps. Much better than the new movie.Would recomend this to anyone who enjoys an epic. Dad was rushing home from work at night to watch another couple of episodes despite not showing much interest when we first said we wanted to watch it.This family also enjoys Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series.This movie (the series) is in that league as a great story.Not just a kids movie

This whole series has been outstanding. I've come to know it as an over 40 mother of a 7 year old and have been completely impressed with the whole series - I think I was more excited waiting for this installment than my son was. I was sad thinking this would be the end but the very last minute left the hope that more could follow, The series is much more than just martial arts, though it handles that very well - it's about character development and inter-relationships - it has serious plot development carried through from beginning to end. Every dvd has been pre-ordered and I can recommend the whole series highly enough for both adults and children.

This cartoon series entertains large groups of kids ranging from the ages of 5 to 16. I would deffinitely recommend it. This is the last disc in the first series, last season - there is a new Avatar series out that takes place 70 after the end of this one. I haven't seen the new one yet and don't know if it is as good. I like the ending of the series (spoilers) because Aang doesn't kill the Fire Lord. I think that it teaches kids there are better ways of dealing with problems rather than the obvious ones. The characters are all loveable and tend to have more depth than traditional animated characters for younger children. I would recommend this.

Let me start off by saying that I am 29 years old and I love this show. I started off watching it with my 5 year old son who is now 8 and I love it. This is truly one of the best animated series I have ever watched. This dvd finally gives us the ending we all hoped for. It wraps everything up perfectly. We finally find out if Aang can indeed save the world. I hate to see the show end. I just hope that M Night Shylaman does the live action movie justice. If you are a die hard Avatar fan the way I am then this dvd is a must have they definetely saved the best for last!
