I am an adult who was not previously a fan, and never actually watched the cartoons. I am super struck by the talent of the child actor's effortless portrayal of Aang - easily embodying and bringing to life a character wise beyond his years. All the actors performances, not to mention the captivating storyline and dialogue, were engaging, heartwarming and utterly compelling. I found myself immersed in the breathtaking, magical realms of the four nations, and wishing that Aang was real.
