Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action Cast and Crew Revealed!!!!

 


    I had my doubts about the series since the original creators of  Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konieztko, left the live action Avatar show on Netflix (then made Avatar Studios witch is where I wanna work), but this gets my hopes up! Not only that, but the new creative team has been revealed as well! Aang will be played by Gordon Cormier (The Stand, Lost in Space), Katarra will be played by Kiawentiio (Anne with an E, Beans) Sokka will be played by Ian Ousley (13 Reasons Why, Big Shot) and Zuko will be played by Dallas Liu (Shang Chi and the Legend Ten Rings). The showrunner will be Albert Kim(Sleepy Hollow). The executive producers include Dan Lin (The Lego Movie, Aladdin) Lindsey Liberatore (Walker), Michael Goi (Swamp Thing), and Roseanne Liang (Shadow in the Cloud). Michael Goi and Roseanne Liang will also direct episodes along with Jabbar Raisani (Lost in Space) and Dan Lin will also write a few of the episodes. Here is what Albert Kim had to say about the show. 


“A live-action version would establish a new benchmark in representation and bring in a whole new generation of fans,” Kim wrote. “This was a chance to showcase Asian and Indigenous characters as living, breathing people. Not just in a cartoon, but in a world that truly exists, very similar to the one we live in.”


    The guy who will played Zuko said he is "honored" to play Zuko. "Honored" is a nod to Zuko's line in the series, "I must capture the avatar to restore my honor." I thought that was funny. 

    Overall, the cast looks great and the crew seems like they know what there doing, but I'm still upset at Netflix for not believing in Mike and Bryan's vision. And I don't like how the guy said "cartoon" because when I hear cartoon, I'm thinking stuff for kids. Avatar is much, much more then a "cartoon." I get what he's saying though. I don't think anything, and I mean  ANYTHING can ever hold a candle to the original. Not even it's sequel Korra, though very good, couldn't quite live up to it.  This live action show may turn out great, but we all know which one will be better. A lot of these live action/remakes just make me want to see the original, and that's probably what will happen hear.

Underrated Animation: Looney Tunes: Back in Action: One of the best live action/animation hybrid movies ever

Image
    Looney Tunes Back in Action is outstanding! It is  very underrated! It is a lot like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mary Poppins where it combines 2d hand drawn animation and live action. The movie combines everything I love about Looney Tunes and more with monsters, spy's, Steve Martin, Westerns, Adventure films, and everything else I love. The interactions between the animated characters and the human characters are amazing, very fun to look at, here is an example.      The animation is gorgeous, oh and also, IT IS HILARIOUS! I was dying of laughter! It gets the personalities of the looney tunes characters down. Tons of looney tunes and movie references that I love! Making fun of product placement! To be honest with you, its better then Space Jam and here's why. Space Jam is fantastic but it does make very little sense. There's a lot of plot holes and questionable things, however the looney tunes characters, the animation, humor, and the originality of t...

Animated Films with stylized animation (and how they did it)

Image
 I got a ton of reviews for movies and shows that I wanna do but I feel like I've been doing a lot of reviews lately, so I'm gonna do this instead. It gives me a little else to talk about. Today I'm gonna talk about movies with animation that looks like nothing we've seen before and how they did it. I also put videos so you can see the process. Spider-Man into the Spiderverse Spider-Man into the Spiderverse is a groundbreaking film in many ways. But one reason is because of its incredible animation! How they made the computer animation look like a comic book is amazing! How they did it is they put a lot of 2-D lines on the characters face. Look closely on Miles' face, see how the wrinkles on his forehead look hand drawn. They also animated most of the movie on twos, which means that they are 12 frames of animation in one second instead of the 24 frames of animation in one second which is used in most animated films. They did this to make the animation feel more grap...
