His stuff in ATLA was great but oh man in Korra you can just tell he went through a whole training arc and absolutely killed it. I tear up for no reason on the ending alone
Korra is one of the most amazing TV show scores I've heard in a long time. The way it blends traditional western hollywood score, and this eastern/american jazz fusion; it doesn't just make you feel stuff like it did in ATLA, it actually becomes part of the world. You can't think of republic city without hearing Jeremey's music in the back of your mind.
Would say that the Hans Zimmer of Cartoons would be James L. Venable, who did Samurai Jack that used a lot of styles of music in each country and situation in the show. And at the same time, Kevin Kiner as the John Williams of cartoons.
Zimmer is a hack who offloads most of the actual scoring work to [underpaid] people who work for him, and then takes the credit for it. Just by writing his own music, Jeremy is leaps and bounds above him, with more integrity to boot.
Jeremy Zuckerman is without a doubt partially responsible for elevating kids TV to a whole new level. ATLA set the bar so high for animated TV moving forward!
"Kids are emotional beings just like adults, they just don't have the language sometimes" - this quote summarises not only ATLA's way of thinking towards their soundtrack, but towards the series as a whole. Beautiful.
4:50 “Kids are emotional beings just like adults. They just don’t have the language sometimes.” Such a simple thing that most people forget 🥹 I think this way of thinking/understanding that makes his music so wonderful and impactful. I’m glad they were just as enthusiastic about showing the dark moments as much as the lighter ones.
Yes! I remember my delicate auditory taste from childhood; as a child I felt even more subtly the difference between high-quality and low-quality music. Children notice everything, and what is done with love will not be forgotten.
Zuckerman's score is more often than not the Avatar element that elicits emotion from the viewer. Subtract his score from some of Avatar's iconic scene's and suddenly they don't quite have the same emotional impact. He did a magnificent job. This is an amazing interview, too, btw.
As I read your comment, a scene that instantly comes to my mind is the final Agni Kai between Zuko & Azula. The score, with that imagery was phenomenal!!
^ the Final Agni Kai is a cinematic masterpiece, and the dialogue doesn’t even begin until (I believe) 2 and a half minutes in. Full credit to the score for elevating it to where it stands.
Even with the Netflix teaser, I started crying as soon as the music kicked in at the end. I read the comments and so many people said exactly the same thing. The same goes for the finale of the series, when Zuko gives his speech about the Fire Lord and the Avatar working together and bringing in a new era of peace and kindness. When that music hits, I cry so much.
I think the erhu for Korra was perfect bc it has a slightly sad sound and sort of symbolized that the fans would be kind of mourning Aang while enjoying Korra.
When I was in high school, I remember Jeremy participated in a charity auction and offered up two signed scores, “Peace” from ATLA and “Service and Sacrifice” from LOK. I was so happy when I won the score for Service and Sacrifice and Jeremy was also kind enough to write me a letter with it. He shared a little insight on the composition of that piece where he almost “didn’t get it right.” I believe it was something about basing the melody the melody around the 5th of the chord rather than the root, but once he made the change it all fell into place. I still have that score framed in my room and it’s a constant reminder of the profound influence the music of Avatar has had on me.
Wow, you are so incredibly lucky! That's amazing!! Service and Sacrifice gives me chills and never fails to make me cry. It's so beautiful. I really hope they end up releasing the OSTs for the rest of LoK in addition to Books 2 & 3 of AtLA.
His theme that he created with Korra vs Zaheer in the book 3 finale, when they were flying, was incredible. My favorite soundtrack. But the rest was phenomenal as well!
“Sound is 50 percent of the movie-going experience” - Gorge Lucas. This was such a vital part to making avatar as amazing as it is. Thank you sound and music team for amazing score and sound effects.
Hope Netflix does Korra in live action, as well as all the comics, so we can see probending, the red lotus, Korra’s character arc, Korrasami in full glory, the story of Zuko’s mom, and hear a remastered version of the Korra soundtrack.
@ncard00 eh from how netflix adapted season 1, I dont mind giving them another chance but I'd much rather wait for the original creators to create more stuff regardless. Speaking of netflix, if they don't listen to the criticisms on how to improve their directions and scripts for seasons 2 + 3 I won't want them to handle anything else Avatar again🫡
This man has impacted of billions since the first pilot in 2005. I’m 30 now and his composing and orchestrating still gives me the feeling of sehnsucht and emotional attachment to the world of ATLA/TLOK
I was in 5th grade when this show aired, and this soundtrack was one that made my childhood as well as put me on a path to become a musician, too. The music of AtLA still sticks with me today 😊
This show really is a masterpiece of storytelling, animation, and music. I'm so fortunate that Avatar in Concert is performing near me, and so excited to experience the music live.
When I was little, every time I watched Avatar at the end I immediately danced the Balinese Kecak dance because the music was similar, and apparently it was inspired by the Balinese Kecak Dance. 😂😂 Luv u jeremy from Bali 🌺🔥🔥🔥
I could have listened to him talk about this for a full hour! It's clear he's really passionate about ATLA and Korra and the way he talks about the music, the process, the instruments, etc is fascinating
13:25 yup, hearing that actually played on real instruments also had me in tears as someone who grew up on this show! i can’t even imagine the exhilaration jeremy felt hearing that for the first time! all of this music already sounds epic, i can already tell the soundtrack will become part of my normal rotation.
My mom was a big fan of Avatar and the legend of Korra. She passed away after my birthday and the kca's. I re-watched the show to continue the avatar legacy and my mom's legacy. Thank you Jeremy for doing the songs for the show. And thank you Nickelodeon for doing the kca's on my birthday!!!!.
I love how timeless Avatar is… the music, art, raw emotion and storytelling, realistic character development, all with an undertone of positivity and hope for goodness… It has definitely made me such a better person and it is difficult for me to find another show to even stand near the quality of Avatar. It will always be my favorite show! (Definitely inspired me to be more monk-like like Aang, and nurture and express the inner child within all of us, and has turned my style to more ancient art/architecture/music as opposed to the ultra modern world that California is!)
Jinoras Light, Service and sacrifice, to heal, peaceful and greatest change are the most beautiful pieces I've heard from any show. You're appreciated here Mr Zuckerman.
Cries in India 😭, i would love to go too, an opportunity like this, is a once in a lifetime thing. Manifesting for both of us and others too, to go to his orchestra.
Jeremey's work on compositions helped make this show what it is, it wouldn't be the same without the music. And these songs still just *get* me even a decade and a half later. I absloutly adore his work.
6:42 and 9:33 "4 seasons, 4 loves" is one of my favorite tunes not just of the show but musically in general. It is tragically obscure and underrated. I love finding out who created it and I can tell it's one of his favorites too
I have a very vivd memory of watching a new episode of Avatar when I was a kid. My parents were arguing in the background(pretty usual, but this one was getting a bit out of hand I guess) because the cops ended up showing up and coming in the room where I was watching avatar. They told me id have to come with them. I asked them if I could finish my show. They did say no. But my point is this show was an escape for me as a kid. Thank you for that.
I am so excited that I got tickets to see this. I cannot wait. ATLA is my favorite show of all time and I am already tearing up while watching this interview. I just know I'm going to be sobbing in the audience. I really wish I could tell Zuckerman how the music for ATLA impacted me, and continues to impact me with each rewatch of the show. Music is one of the most important things in my life. I truly feel music and I love listening to all types of music. This show has been one of the constants in my life. I can always put it on when I need comfort, when I need something. I always feel like the show keeps me company when I need it most. It relaxes me, it makes me feel really deep intense emotions, and it makes me happy. It makes me laugh and cry and ache and all the wonderful feelings a piece of art should make you feel. The amount of thought and care and effort that went into this show was truly amazing. It's a masterpiece. It's art in such a way that brings all types of art together and creates something so unique and heartfelt and impactful. Every little detail was carefully thought out. The show was cared for. I could really feel that. I will never tire of this show, or the music, or the art, or the script, or the sound design, or the animation, or the voice acting. Every single thing made this show what it is. And I will always love it. I am so grateful that this show exists. It is truly one of the best shows ever made. It's... perfect.
There are multiple scenes in avatar that STILL have the ability to give me goosebumps or bring tears to my eyes 20 odd years (and multiple rewatches) later. I doubt they would have anywhere near that effect without the amazing well considered music!!! The fact a whole bunch of that was done just with a few people and multiple samples just blows my mind.
„kids are emotional beings, just like adults. they just don’t have the language sometimes.“ everyone who worked on this show was not just brilliant in their doing, but an amazing, thoughtful and reflected human being.
Listening to Jeremy talking honestly abut his work and hearing it partly gave me such big goosebumps. Man, for real. There will never be any other soundtrack that will get be like Avatar:TLA did. And it still does. And these all the instruments like Duduk and Guzheng or drums really give this lively feeling of a natural bonded world. Thanks for being part of such a masterpiece Mr. Zuckerman.
Brought tears to my eyes. I always knew the music was a important part of the series. It was like what Jeremy was saying when the strings was playing the opening scene, it was like a breath of fresh air makes me want to watch the series all over again. Can't wait for the live action in a couple of months to come out. Thank you Jeremy and your team for bringing such emotions and happy memories to all who has adore this beloved series.
Actual Goosebumps on the new "Aang becomes Ocean" music with the live orchestra. Crazy how amazing it sounds, can't wait for the live action and to have those memories come back in a new way.
This is SUCH an amazing interview. Forever thankful for the work Jeremy did on this series. Hope he’s doing the live action series too!! It’s especially impressive given how relatively new he was at the time of doing this. What a legend. Completely defined what the ATLA universe should sound like. Jeremy, we appreciate you, dude!!
People are DEFINITELY listening, Jeremy, and we are DEFINITELY interested in hearing the music on its own. It deserves to shine. I hope you re-record and release all the music for ATLA seasons 2 and 3, and Korra as well, so we can enjoy them in their full glory. I’ll happily wait another 18 years!!
I really, really loved what Zuckerman said in the beginning. How children have an innate emotional intelligence that so many shows ignore. They can understand grief, anger, joy, love, everything. And he helped to bring everything to life. I listened to the Avatar intro that was recently rereleased and I cried listneing to it all over again.
I met Jeremy at the Grove. He was signing a vinyl record of Book 1 Water and it was awesome talking to him. He said his favorite character is Suki and told him that his music is up there with John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Can't wait to see his live concert when he comes to Hollywood and L.A.
Thank you so much for your earnest dedication to the Avatar universe, Jeremy. What you did for the show was monumental. Both ATLA and LOK have held my hand through life and will continue to do so. Best series ever made.
I'm really can't wait for the live action series of Avatar with the iconic music and hoping the plot will be just like the original after watching this video, who's in?
@@almas4663How can you know that? It isn’t out yet and the original creators are making movies in the Avatar world. At best, the live action is a remake of a story that was already great. Animation to live action doesn’t exactly have a great history, even with One Piece taken into account.
@@hyperdeath84 With Animation to Live Action I at least can be certain I will love it. And even if it turns out bad, it's not like it'll harm the original in any sorta way. Meanwhile, a new cash grab movie by the original creators is gonna force itself into the lore, harming my perception of this franchise as a whole. I will never forgive the creators for introducing Wan and ruining Mai x Zuko and Sokka x Suki
Other than the music in the teaser, how much of Jeremy’s original score Netflix keeps remains to be seen. So far on IMDB, the new composer Takeshi Furukawa is the only one credited for the music but come Feb 22, we’ll know then for sure.
@@Auth0R_M0RGaN The new composer confirmed that he was allowed to rely heavily on the original music. So just like in the trailer - The music is gonna be the same
I am pretty sure that the music of this show contributed to a huge percentage of its overall success. I also can confirm that the music heals, a lot. It had helped me with depression a few years back and I'll always be thankful for that. ❤
Amazing stuff, Jeremy. One of the most eclectic, emotional, and fascinating pieces of media music of this century. I look forward to future re-recordings of the Avatar soundtrack! It deserves this much attention and love.
Avatar is my favorite show of All - Time!!! And Jeremy as a Animator in college and all of that I can say music is the main piece in animation that makes it standout, music is a beautiful thing and I’m glad the music in Avatar is so great and beautifully, Thank you Jeremy for giving us bangers.💯🙏🏾🙌🏾
I can not hear this guy's music without crying. So much expressiveness and beauty, also inspirational. I even cried with the music for all the Netflix live action.
as a young kid i already knew it was a great show. loved it from the start. and now after all this years its still my favorite show. think i watched it more then 20 times
It's wild to think that he cut his teeth, so to speak, on ATLA of all things. You would've never known that most of his TV experience before this was with commercials.
Read somewhere Jeremy Zuckerman is not involved in the Netflix Live Version much like the original creators. I know the original theme was in the teaser trailer but be interesting how much of Jeremy’s original score ends up in the new adaptation or if they’re gonna completely go with the new guys work.
@christamenash5775 No, that's Kevin Kiner lol not Jeremy. And neither him nor Jeremy scored the live action Netflix series. You may be thinking of Dave Filoni who directed and storyboarded much of the first season of ATLA then ran CW with George Lucas, or Dee Bradley Baker who voiced Appa and then the Clones in SW.

The tough part is gonna be them doing serious Aang. I think light hearted Aang is easy to do but to make him that but intimidating with leadership and brave qualities is a balancing act the anime does perfect. When Aang cried we cried, when he laughed we laughed, and when he got serious we sat on the edge of our seats waiting to see what he would do. Give us a strong Zuko and a Emotional Aang. Give us what the anime did so well, character development
I gained a new appreciation of the track Aang Becomes Ocean after watching the Netflix remake and realized I missed hearing that track. It was still an incredible scene but it made me look up the track I barely remembered and I am blown away by the emotions it conveys. All the grief and the rage nearly brings me to tears. Upon further reflection, this track uses simple drawn out string chords that results in one of the most emotional scenes of its seasons. Much like one of my favorite tracks in book 3: The Last Agni Kai.
Jeremy is super underrated, which begs the question of why his music from ATLA and LOK are not available on Spotify or Apple Music. As I'm writing this Book 1 of ATLA was just uploaded on Spotify. Hope the rest of ATLA and LOK will also be out there sooner rather than later.
One of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in my life, ATLA had such an incredible range of sounds and they all evoked so much, from comedic tracks to deeply melancholic stuff, the palette was masterful.
*When I was struggling with sleep paralysis, the instrumentals from avatar the last Airbender where part of the soundtracks I used to help me sleep, they're sooooo calm, smooth, and just out of this world😌*
i was born in 2005, so i grew up with avatar in a lot of ways. i genuinely can’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t know what it was. i don’t remember watching it for the first time, because the show and its soundtrack have always just _been_ there. so i’d be lying if i said this video didn’t make me inexplicably emotional
I keep coming back to ATLA's soundtrack, the best in the emotional world-building. Such a magnificent job! Thanks Jeremy for making something so classic and timeless
Thanks for this video, this is amazing. TLA and LoK are some of my favourite stories of all time and I dare say they wouldn't have been that impactful without Jeremys music.
I was always blown away with ATLA music and sound choice. The instruments were just perfectly chosen too, super immersive. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I wish this video was out sooner, I did research a lot on ATLA sound design for my final assingment at Uni, but due to insufficient information needed to pass on it. Anyways, great sound work! You guys made a masterpiece!
I'm totally crying tears of joy! Hearing Jeremy's perspective of Avatar is brilliant. I'm so lucky to have lived when this fantastic team created such a meaningful story. Thank you!
The music for these shows has always been so stunning and such a huge part of why the emotion hits hard. It was beautiful to hear the stories behind it. Thank you Jeremy!
The music from ATLA still gives me chills just like it did when I first watched the show as a kid. Everything from this show is pure perfection and beauty! To everyone that worked on this show and made it a reality, thank you!
VERY impressive... just thinking about bringing old sessions into today's version of pro tools sound like an enormous pain LOL glad to see the ATLA soundtrack is finally getting the star treatment it so rightly deserves!! getting to hear 'aang becomes ocean' with a live orchestra was just *chefs kiss*
His stuff in ATLA was great but oh man in Korra you can just tell he went through a whole training arc and absolutely killed it. I tear up for no reason on the ending alone
Korra is one of the most amazing TV show scores I've heard in a long time. The way it blends traditional western hollywood score, and this eastern/american jazz fusion; it doesn't just make you feel stuff like it did in ATLA, it actually becomes part of the world. You can't think of republic city without hearing Jeremey's music in the back of your mind.
when ginora is getting her airbending tattoos, the music that plays is some of the most beautiful music ive ever heard
@@Raecast It's the other way around for me. Music on its own isn't really worth much for me, it's about the whole picture
The Korra soundtrack really feels like it taps into something inside my soul and just tears it apart every time.❤
@@RaecastYES!! Man, like the track Left My Heart in Republic City? Perfect blend of western music and eastern instruments. I love it so much 🥹
Jeremy is the Hans Zimmer of kid show composers in my opinion. Never misses an emotional and comedic beat
Je suis bien d'accord
Would say that the Hans Zimmer of Cartoons would be James L. Venable, who did Samurai Jack that used a lot of styles of music in each country and situation in the show.
And at the same time, Kevin Kiner as the John Williams of cartoons.

ATLA has the most nuanced and impactful soundtrack in children's television.
I've always loved the sound subconsciously as a wee lad, I'm only now realizing how unique and impactful the sound design was for this show
Flamio Hotman! Flamio! 👏
I would not limit it to Children’s television. Tremendous soundscape supporting an epic story.
Jeremy Zuckerman is without a doubt partially responsible for elevating kids TV to a whole new level. ATLA set the bar so high for animated TV moving forward!
Could even remove the word “children’s” if you wanted
"Kids are emotional beings just like adults, they just don't have the language sometimes" - this quote summarises not only ATLA's way of thinking towards their soundtrack, but towards the series as a whole. Beautiful.

This is 100% true.
Spot on, didn’t realize or think about it until this video. Realize how much of a part it plays.
As I read your comment, a scene that instantly comes to my mind is the final Agni Kai between Zuko & Azula. The score, with that imagery was phenomenal!!

Omg, that’s what I was thinking too!

I was so happy when I won the score for Service and Sacrifice and Jeremy was also kind enough to write me a letter with it. He shared a little insight on the composition of that piece where he almost “didn’t get it right.” I believe it was something about basing the melody the melody around the 5th of the chord rather than the root, but once he made the change it all fell into place.

That is so cool! Service and Sacrifice is an outstanding piece
His theme that he created with Korra vs Zaheer in the book 3 finale, when they were flying, was incredible. My favorite soundtrack. But the rest was phenomenal as well!
Absolutely, the Red Lotus theme is one of the most iconic and chilling villain themes I've ever heard in media!
The end credits from Korra still make me tear up. When that kalimba hits? I can't.

Listening to Jeremy talking honestly abut his work and hearing it partly gave me such big goosebumps.
Man, for real. There will never be any other soundtrack that will get be like Avatar:TLA did.
And it still does. And these all the instruments like Duduk and Guzheng or drums really give this lively feeling of a natural bonded world.
Thanks for being part of such a masterpiece Mr. Zuckerman.
Brought tears to my eyes. I always knew the music was a important part of the series. It was like what Jeremy was saying when the strings was playing the opening scene, it was like a breath of
fresh air makes me want to watch the series all over again. Can't wait for the live action in a couple of months to come out. Thank you Jeremy and your team for bringing such emotions and happy memories to all who has adore this beloved series.
Long live Jeremy and The Track Team for bringing an essential part of Bryke's world to life.
I hope they make a remaster of the original show. This new music, hd quality and the original voice recordings. That would be a dream❤
I would assume that's why they're recording stuff with a proper orchestra ? They weirdly enough don't explicit that in this docu video
@@Loweene_Ancalimon it's most likely for the netflix live action coming out
Did Jeremy also make the score for the Agni Kai scene between Zuko and Azula in the very last episodes?! That was an epic one!!🤩
ugh, I thought he was going to cover that in this video!!!
Actual Goosebumps on the new "Aang becomes Ocean" music with the live orchestra. Crazy how amazing it sounds, can't wait for the live action and to have those memories come back in a new way.
This is SUCH an amazing interview. Forever thankful for the work Jeremy did on this series. Hope he’s doing the live action series too!! It’s especially impressive given how relatively new he was at the time of doing this. What a legend. Completely defined what the ATLA universe should sound like. Jeremy, we appreciate you, dude!!
People are DEFINITELY listening, Jeremy, and we are DEFINITELY interested in hearing the music on its own. It deserves to shine. I hope you re-record and release all the music for ATLA seasons 2 and 3, and Korra as well, so we can enjoy them in their full glory. I’ll happily wait another 18 years!!
I really, really loved what Zuckerman said in the beginning. How children have an innate emotional intelligence that so many shows ignore. They can understand grief, anger, joy, love, everything. And he helped to bring everything to life. I listened to the Avatar intro that was recently rereleased and I cried listneing to it all over again.
Holy moly if they come out with a remastered soundtrack CD for the entire series or even vinyl they can take ALL my money.
I met Jeremy at the Grove. He was signing a vinyl record of Book 1 Water and it was awesome talking to him. He said his favorite character is Suki and told him that his music is up there with John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Can't wait to see his live concert when he comes to Hollywood and L.A.
I hope this is released as an album or on Spotify. This music deserves being released on its own.
I have been wanting that for the last 15 years haha
I wish he'd talked about the Zuko Azula agni kai! Some of my favorite music ever on television. What a talented dude
Thank you so much for your earnest dedication to the Avatar universe, Jeremy. What you did for the show was monumental. Both ATLA and LOK have held my hand through life and will continue to do so. Best series ever made.
One of the best soundtrack in the history of cinema
I'm really can't wait for the live action series of Avatar with the iconic music and hoping the plot will be just like the original after watching this video, who's in?
@Kyle_ELLive Action is much better than any new Avatar content.
@@almas4663How can you know that? It isn’t out yet and the original creators are making movies in the Avatar world. At best, the live action is a remake of a story that was already great. Animation to live action doesn’t exactly have a great history, even with One Piece taken into account.
@@hyperdeath84 With Animation to Live Action I at least can be certain I will love it. And even if it turns out bad, it's not like it'll harm the original in any sorta way.
Meanwhile, a new cash grab movie by the original creators is gonna force itself into the lore, harming my perception of this franchise as a whole.
I will never forgive the creators for introducing Wan and ruining Mai x Zuko and Sokka x Suki
Other than the music in the teaser, how much of Jeremy’s original score Netflix keeps remains to be seen. So far on IMDB, the new composer Takeshi Furukawa is the only one credited for the music but come Feb 22, we’ll know then for sure.
@@Auth0R_M0RGaN The new composer confirmed that he was allowed to rely heavily on the original music.
So just like in the trailer - The music is gonna be the same
Avatar The Last Airbender music is the best! I'm getting emotional every time I hear it.
You created the music that will go down in history as one of the greatest show and music that all remembers
His score in both shows is absolutely fantastic. It definitely had an impact on me as a composer myself. :')
I am pretty sure that the music of this show contributed to a huge percentage of its overall success. I also can confirm that the music heals, a lot. It had helped me with depression a few years back and I'll always be thankful for that. ❤
The heart and passion he gave for this show is shown in every note and beat. Beautiful.
Amazing stuff, Jeremy. One of the most eclectic, emotional, and fascinating pieces of media music of this century. I look forward to future re-recordings of the Avatar soundtrack! It deserves this much attention and love.
Avatar is my favorite show of All - Time!!! And Jeremy as a Animator in college and all of that I can say music is the main piece in animation that makes it standout, music is a beautiful thing and I’m glad the music in Avatar is so great and beautifully, Thank you Jeremy for giving us bangers.💯🙏🏾🙌🏾
I can not hear this guy's music without crying. So much expressiveness and beauty, also inspirational. I even cried with the music for all the Netflix live action.
as a young kid i already knew it was a great show. loved it from the start. and now after all this years its still my favorite show. think i watched it more then 20 times
Hope we get more of these interviews! With the shows creators, actors, or artists.
It's wild to think that he cut his teeth, so to speak, on ATLA of all things. You would've never known that most of his TV experience before this was with commercials.
Read somewhere Jeremy Zuckerman is not involved in the Netflix Live Version much like the original creators. I know the original theme was in the teaser trailer but be interesting how much of Jeremy’s original score ends up in the new adaptation or if they’re gonna completely go with the new guys work.
I am trusting him myself cause I love the work he did on the clone wars ❤
@@christamenash5775Time will tell 👍🏽
@@christamenash5775What? Jeremy worked on CW? You sure?
@@kevinzhang6623the guy that did the score in the live action did the score in the clone wars ❤
@christamenash5775 No, that's Kevin Kiner lol not Jeremy. And neither him nor Jeremy scored the live action Netflix series. You may be thinking of Dave Filoni who directed and storyboarded much of the first season of ATLA then ran CW with George Lucas, or Dee Bradley Baker who voiced Appa and then the Clones in SW.

The tough part is gonna be them doing serious Aang. I think light hearted Aang is easy to do but to make him that but intimidating with leadership and brave qualities is a balancing act the anime does perfect. When Aang cried we cried, when he laughed we laughed, and when he got serious we sat on the edge of our seats waiting to see what he would do. Give us a strong Zuko and a Emotional Aang. Give us what the anime did so well, character development
Avatar is not anime. This is American serial
@@УилкиТутытам chill out. I was trynna save some characters
I gained a new appreciation of the track Aang Becomes Ocean after watching the Netflix remake and realized I missed hearing that track. It was still an incredible scene but it made me look up the track I barely remembered and I am blown away by the emotions it conveys. All the grief and the rage nearly brings me to tears.
Upon further reflection, this track uses simple drawn out string chords that results in one of the most emotional scenes of its seasons. Much like one of my favorite tracks in book 3: The Last Agni Kai.
I rescored the Netflix version with the Aang becomes Ocean track if you want to check it out ;)
Jeremy is super underrated, which begs the question of why his music from ATLA and LOK are not available on Spotify or Apple Music. As I'm writing this Book 1 of ATLA was just uploaded on Spotify. Hope the rest of ATLA and LOK will also be out there sooner rather than later.
8:50 being indonesian im so proud that our local music inspired the avatar composer thank you...😊
Of of the best composers of all time, insane attention to detail and the music fits so well with every scene.
One of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in my life, ATLA had such an incredible range of sounds and they all evoked so much, from comedic tracks to deeply melancholic stuff, the palette was masterful.
The music is intoxicating 13years now since I first watched ATLA.
Impressive, he actually knows those instruments.
*When I was struggling with sleep paralysis, the instrumentals from avatar the last Airbender where part of the soundtracks I used to help me sleep, they're sooooo calm, smooth, and just out of this world😌*
i was born in 2005, so i grew up with avatar in a lot of ways. i genuinely can’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t know what it was. i don’t remember watching it for the first time, because the show and its soundtrack have always just _been_ there. so i’d be lying if i said this video didn’t make me inexplicably emotional
Both avatar series,one of the best animations i can re watch over n over. It's so complex and detail from plot, background sound etc.
I keep coming back to ATLA's soundtrack, the best in the emotional world-building. Such a magnificent job! Thanks Jeremy for making something so classic and timeless
Thank you Jeremy Zuckerman for all of this amazing music, my personal favorite is korra's ending
Thanks for this video, this is amazing. TLA and LoK are some of my favourite stories of all time and I dare say they wouldn't have been that impactful without Jeremys music.
Tales from the vine is a truly beautiful and sad song 🥺
Just binged a bunch of panels and videos from the cast. Thanks for shouting out the podcast! Can't wait to start listening:)
So happy that the OST got to be remastered and released to the public.
the avatar music is iconic. i recognize it all the time in lofi mixes
Crying in the club rn. Thank you Jeremy Zuckerman
sir you hit absolute gold with the main theme, nothing quite comes close for any other show
I was always blown away with ATLA music and sound choice. The instruments were just perfectly chosen too, super immersive. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I wish this video was out sooner, I did research a lot on ATLA sound design for my final assingment at Uni, but due to insufficient information needed to pass on it.
Anyways, great sound work! You guys made a masterpiece!
I'm totally crying tears of joy! Hearing Jeremy's perspective of Avatar is brilliant. I'm so lucky to have lived when this fantastic team created such a meaningful story. Thank you!
I love all the music in ATLA❤️ best series ever.
Can’t wait once all the seasons are on streaming! hearing the music of the finale of Avatar was a big reason I did band in middle school
The music for these shows has always been so stunning and such a huge part of why the emotion hits hard. It was beautiful to hear the stories behind it. Thank you Jeremy!
I hope Netflix ATLA soundtrack gives the same emotions that Jeremy created
Nothing will make me tear up faster than Jeremy’s work… so moving and powerful, I feel it in my soul.
The Korra end theme and the Avatars love played during my wedding for the bridal party and bride entrances. It was perfect.
It would be incredible if the soundtrack would be on Spotify!
The music from ATLA still gives me chills just like it did when I first watched the show as a kid. Everything from this show is pure perfection and beauty! To everyone that worked on this show and made it a reality, thank you!
VERY impressive... just thinking about bringing old sessions into today's version of pro tools sound like an enormous pain LOL glad to see the ATLA soundtrack is finally getting the star treatment it so rightly deserves!! getting to hear 'aang becomes ocean' with a live orchestra was just *chefs kiss*
They finally released it on Spotify! I've been waiting years for this moment
