Hearing Bryan say they want to keep the 2D art form alive is so important to me. 3D’s great but there’s something truly special about that 2D hand drawn feel.
@@P0k3D0nd3M4cG it means these guys had an idea that was really remarkable for the time (around 2005). There wasn’t anything like Avatar on children tv. They were some of the first to make a show this deep for kids
Bryan: We wanted to create something that has a shelf life You did 20 years later we are still watching and loving every second of the Avatar Last Airbender
Hats off to whoever edited this. Finding so many hyper-specific moments and quotes from both shows that perfectly reinforce what Bryan was saying. Not only super impressive, but a reminder that this franchise is being handled by fans for fans.
Dude I was SO into the part where he talked about the backgrounds. I'm a bit of an urbanist and I just enjoy all kinds of architecture. What makes the Avatar universe so great isn't just the characters and storylines but also the LOCATIONS! From the menacing Egyptian and Chinese inspired Fire Nation Royal Palace to the breathtaking Northern Water Tribe, each location in the universe is unique in their own ways. Without locations, there wouldn't be a journey! That being said, I don't blame him for wanting to take a break after working on LoK. You don't want to overdo it. We have to remember that we are humans and we have limits.
They’ve pulled inspiration from all cultures. Avatar transcends the separations of our world to create an entirely unique experience that celebrates ALL of humanity.
I think the inspiration for the Fire Nation architecture was mainly took from southeast asian cultures (vietnamese, thai, indonesian), rather than the egyptian one
As a kid you just never know how special these shows were going to be, as I'm older I appreciate them so much for been there at the time. I remember first watching Atla in a hotel and from then on I loved it so much. Nickelodeon ran episode marathons and I would just sit and watch... this was true childhood, the essence of nostalgia, and peak time of television.
It was perhaps the last time Nickelodeon did something awesome. I remember watching the Jet episode in Vegas at the MGM Grand when I was celebrating my uncles birthday
It's so exciting to hear about avatar Studios for the very first time, and hear them acknowledge arcane, studio ghibli etc and also mention how technology has changed not since the og avatar series but also since korra, and they will take advantage of these tech, I can't wait to see more!
Despite the hardships they’ve faced from the studio & criticism from fans the team received from some parts of Korra’s run. I *REEEEEALY* hope it doesn’t stop these guys from taking risks with their new project I hope you guys don’t lose your nerve to push the envelope in every way you guys know how!!! Follow your heart, don’t play it too safe.
@@jellojiggler1693 Cry more, the majority of people like Legend of Korra. Even more now knowing what they know about stuff behind the scenes and what they still managed to do
@@mrPurplexedYT Where are you getting the idea that the "majority" of people like LoK? I only have my own experiences and interactions to go by, and from the majority of people I've spoken with, LoK is actually really bad, from multiple angels of creation (besides maybe the artwork). Go watch some videos that breakdown why and if that hasn't shifted you're thinking, than you're just a blind fanboy. Oh, and what happens behind the scenes has absolutely nothing to do with how the quality of the show should be judged. Can you appreciate the hard work and determination, sure, but the final product should be judged on it's own merit. You don't give a student an A on their paper because they broke up with their boy/girlfriend or some other struggle "behind the scenes" if the quality of the paper doesn't reflect that grade.
Listening to Bryan's philosophy on art, and his reaction to Arcane, gives me hope, cuz I've been so afraid that the future of the Avatar world might end up looking like LEGO friends if too much outside influence prevails. Fingers and toes crossed that while pulling Avatar into the future, a stylistic continuity can be achieved, so everything feels cohesive. Very excited for what's to come.
This video is so exciting. With Korra there was little talk from the team, not much support from Nickelodeon (more pushback than anything), stressed out creators. With this full support from Nickelodeon. Bryan looks ready and happy for the next era. This is a sign of the glorious future of this series. Thank you Mike and Bryan you created my childhood and molded my life.
He is such a talented and hardworking person... Imagine putting your heart and soul into a project and striving for nothing less than perfection during the production of each project... The pressure of keeping the production in budget and making it spectacular at the same time... Huge respect to this legend... The break after Korra was much needed... A man needs his rest.. just like the way Iroh said to Zuko on the raft
What an awesome interview!!! Avatar is still my favorite show ever since I saw it air as a kid. Nothing has inspired me more. I can’t wait to see what Avatar Studios is creating!
I recently rewatched all of Avatar and then gave Korra another chance. I always loved Avatar but Korra really positively surprised me this time around. I just had to sit myself down and stop being judgemental. I had a great time watching it! I loved the characters, loved the stories and the show got me to laugh, chuckle, roll my eyes and got me to tear bend. I'm actually sad there only are 4 seasons of Korra because I like the characters so much now
@@BradPwnsU Which I’m pretty sure the world needed three years ago. But the struggle between peace and oppression is perhaps even more relevant now than it was in the mid 2000’s when we grew up in a post 9/11 world.
Dear Bryan, as I sit here watching this interview, I am crying, I am not an artist, I've never have been, but I've dreamed all my life, and as off 8 days ago, I took the decition to become a writer. You are one of my biggest inspirations, and watching this makes me hope to one day meet you, makes me hope to one day see my stories come to life, to one day reach that place where I can call myself a writer. When I watched ATLA for the very first time, it changed my life. Thank you so much for realizing your vision, thank you so much for taking that opportunity when there was no indication that it would work. Thank you for giving my life meaning. I hope this message reaches you, and I hope that fuel rubs off on me. You have all my admiration and all my respect.
A literal legend. Animation like Avatar helped me escape my rough childhood with violence. This show really made think about trauma at a young age. Plus Appa is the cutest bison ever.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we are ready and ridiculously excited to go on this journey with you. I cannot wait to see what is to come and am so thankful that you folks are creating Avatar again.
I could watch this interview over and over. Bryan and Mike are so inspiring. Every time I get a chance to hear from them I feel my own creativity flow. Bryan’s balance of life and work is something I strive for. Also, whoever directed this interview did an amazing job. I love the candid shots of Bryan mixed in with the BTS reel. ❤
I’ve waiting for this moment for years. A new era for the Avatar, and the next step in building this incredible world. I have absolute faith in Bryan and Mike. The shows, comics and books have all been created with such love and respect for both the story and the fans, and I am excited to find out the next chapter in this wonderful story. Bryan, Mike, thank you for everything you’ve done and everything you continue to do for Avatar.
@@ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr the magic was the same in korra as it was in the og what are you talking about? Only obnoxious folks think otherwise.
Avatar come out in 2005, I was 12 years old and now I'm 30 - this show still continues to have an impact on my life and that's how I know it was a masterpiece.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are my personal favorite fantasy stories of all time. I love the animation, the story, the characters, the worldbuilding, everything. I’m super excited for the future of Avatar Studios 💧☄️🔥🌪
Legend.. this shows legacy will be known by my children and my children’s children. Masterpiece, not just for cartoons or anime, in every way, in every form of artistic expression. I’ve laughed, cried, cheered.. thank you
TOP notch editing on this video btw, so seamless with these clips from both shows. Absolutely loved watching this and so excited for whatever they are going to create!
Just thinking about Avatar no matter the age, has put me on the verge of tears. My love for what you guys have made transcends feelings. I'm not a fan, I'm a diehard follower to the end. Thank you for existing Mike and Bryan and Aaron and everyone who's made the most beautiful animated work the world has witnessed
This makes me glad to hear him happy and I can’t wait to see what he creates! Knowing my own age, I hope he can find artists that have a deep passion for the world. He captivated my heart with his creativity when I was a middle schooler and I respected him as he made Korra with the constraints he implied. Few things will activate my nostalgia like.. “Water.. earth..fire.. air.”
Thank you Bryan for doing this interview! I definitely understand why you took a break from the industry! ATLA & LOK definitely impacted my childhood. Looking forward to seeing what Avatar Studios has to deliver!
I rewatched the original avatar series last year and even though I remembered some key plot points, it still felt fresh and fun and the show hooked me just the same as it did back when it started when I was 8 years old.
Sooo interesting to see what Bryan has been up to all this time since Avatar Studios in Feb 2021!!! His inspiration for Avatar was sweet, satisfying he said anime and honoring episodic nature! Scenes from show were funny! And 8:45 wanting to keep 2D animation at the heart was nice
I was in my late 30’s when ATLA came out. I had to watch it because my kids, who were geographically separated from me at the time, would watch it and I was wondering what all they were watching. It couldn’t have been a better investment of my time. Fast forward 20 years and I’m looking at 60 here in a few years. I’m excited for what the future is that these wonderful people are bringing to us. I spent time in Asia and love all of the influences this shared universe has. Thanks for bringing it to the world.
Thank you for making both ATLA and LoK you have no idea what it's done for my life I still even watch reactions to these shows, Appreciate you Bryan thanks again.
Taking inspiration from anime but creating their own heartfelt, authentic animation and story - this is what makes Avatar and Korra special shows, that bleedover between East and West! Having their own studio dedicated to telling stories in this world is just perfect. So glad to hear both original co-creators are continuing their creative endeavours in this wonderful universe and I cannot wait for that first film!
I find it really cool to see the clips of your work reflect what you experienced on your journey and how much of it is actually seen in Legends of Korra.
i owe my entire childhood, adolescence and adulthood to these two creators, you made (in my opinion) the best animated show ever created, and i've learned so much from it
I cannot WAIT for this movie and future projects. ATLA is really a gem from my childhood, I think one of if not the best kids show of all time, and maybe even one of the best of all time period.
This is something I have been waiting for since I began watching avatar for the first time back in 2006. I'm in my 30s now and can't wait for everything that's coming out!
I watched the Avatar final season with two of my sons who were 6 and 4 at the time. Every time there was a new episode I would come home from work with the two of them jumping up and down with excitement. We would talk about what we thought would happen and then watch the new show with our dinners all set up in the living room. I remember the reveal in the Avatar and the Fire lord episode where we all ran around the living room wooping it up. We all watched it again on video from the store when my 3rd son was old enough and it did not lose anything.
Avatar is the best series I've got to see in my entire life. No other series influenced me so much or crossed paths with me so many times than Avatar! It is just a masterpiece from the story to the music to the arts. I cannot describe in words what this series means for me and I am so thrilled that after all these years there will be new Avatar content. Much love for the creators!❤💦🪨🔥💨
This franchise is amazing I can't tell you how many times I watched Avatar the last airbenderm. Just know that we appreciate your hard work and we can't thank you enough for this amazing art 👍🏼
Thank you giving my childhood a Spectre of understanding, knowledge and fulfillment. Uncle Iroh was a great character. As an adoptive child that character made me feel like I had a family. There no words to really calculate the gratefulness of how much this series is to many people. Please understand that you ALL did a great job in fluently combining cultures but touch the hearts of many who are still growing. We all have much to grow just like iroh said. Much love thank you , on behalf of everyone. THANK YOU
Yo I just wanna say Bryan and Mike, yall are goats. This is the greatest show I have ever seen!! Im just speechless I can't explain how beautiful the little hints you put in on the show!! Regarding relationships, friendships, storyline etc! Like yall deserve a hug
After all these years, I can't believe the universe is finally expanding and also telling more stories in the timelines we know of. Super excited for everything done by this studio as well as Netflix!
This makes me so excited and I am so happy to live in the same time as these amazing humans!! I literally can't contain my excitement watching things like this! Looking forward, you guys!!
I think the only people I have known to dislike Korra, never actually watched it and just made a judgement based on that last episode where it is implied that K&A get together
@@leanie2972 nah! it's bad. i've watched 6 times but it is entertaining i can give you that. Korra as character is so unlikable besides there's a lot of bad writing in that show.
I'm so glad the 2D tradition will carry on through avatar studios, hopefully it'll set a new benchmark for animation because the 3D stuff is just not the same, it doesn't have the same heart and soul. Much love
I couldn't possibly be happier to hear all of this coming out of his mouth. I truly cannot wait for more adventures in this absolutely incredible world!
Of course Bryan worked on Invader Zim! I love Invader Zim. I admire Zim's passion for world domination, and he view him as a role model for my own domination! I'm glad Brian mentioned the fact it was animated in Korea, because fans like to think its anime despite the fact it wasn't animated in Japan, and Koreans don't like being called Japanese. Not to mention, he said in this that he didn't want the show to be a counterfeit anime but rather its own thing. If anything, the only season of the Avatar universe that can be considered actually anime is Book 2 Spirits of Legend of Korra as it was animated by Pierrot in Tokyo.
They made the best show of all time in my not so humble opinion. It has inspired me for years.

This is something I have been waiting for since I began watching avatar for the first time back in 2006. I'm in my 30s now and can't wait for everything that's coming out!
This is incredible, also nice to know avatar was made by such a cool well-spoken guy
I watched the Avatar final season with two of my sons who were 6 and 4 at the time. Every time there was a new episode I would come home from work with the two of them jumping up and down with excitement. We would talk about what we thought would happen and then watch the new show with our dinners all set up in the living room. I remember the reveal in the Avatar and the Fire lord episode where we all ran around the living room wooping it up. We all watched it again on video from the store when my 3rd son was old enough and it did not lose anything.
"We wanted to create something with a shelf life."
Oh, Bryan. It became so much more.
Bryan your hard work has given me unmeasurable levels of happiness and hope. Your hard work is appreciated deeply !
Avatar is the best series I've got to see in my entire life. No other series influenced me so much or crossed paths with me so many times than Avatar! It is just a masterpiece from the story to the music to the arts. I cannot describe in words what this series means for me and I am so thrilled that after all these years there will be new Avatar content. Much love for the creators!❤💦🪨🔥💨
4:00 this segment is so relatable
This franchise is amazing I can't tell you how many times I watched Avatar the last airbenderm. Just know that we appreciate your hard work and we can't thank you enough for this amazing art 👍🏼
Y’all changed my life on so many levels. Thank you for everything that you’re doing. Can not wait ❤️
So excited for the future of avatar !
Thank you giving my childhood a Spectre of understanding, knowledge and fulfillment. Uncle Iroh was a great character. As an adoptive child that character made me feel like I had a family. There no words to really calculate the gratefulness of how much this series is to many people. Please understand that you ALL did a great job in fluently combining cultures but touch the hearts of many who are still growing. We all have much to grow just like iroh said. Much love thank you , on behalf of everyone.
THANK YOU
Thank you for all your hard work, Bryke! We love you guys!
I kid you not I’ve watched this series on repeat my whole life, finish it and start it again probably about a week or so later
I like how they mix the SHOWS with the interview
Yo I just wanna say Bryan and Mike, yall are goats. This is the greatest show I have ever seen!! Im just speechless I can't explain how beautiful the little hints you put in on the show!! Regarding relationships, friendships, storyline etc! Like yall deserve a hug
I hope to see more content like this from the official channel as we go forward.
I can not thank all of you enough for making this series, it was such a big building block of my childhood. Lessons learned in this show are for life.
I'm re-watching the whole series again
These guys inspire me often with their work and imagination. Glad to see the brand expanding and getting the recognition it deserves.
im SO excited!!
This movie is the only movie that has me hyped. I know these guys will deliver something worthwhile.
After all these years, I can't believe the universe is finally expanding and also telling more stories in the timelines we know of. Super excited for everything done by this studio as well as Netflix!
I'm so happy you decided to come back, Avatar is one of my favorite universes ever, and I'm so excited to see what y'all do with it!
i respect this man
I love how the clips from the show illustrate exactly what bryan was trying to say. Love ATLA and TLOK so much and cant wait for the new stuff!
This show was my childhood. I look forward to the new projects!
Hyyyype
I hope Korra also gets the love it deserves
This makes me so excited and I am so happy to live in the same time as these amazing humans!!
I literally can't contain my excitement watching things like this!
Looking forward, you guys!!
I dont care if people say korra is bad, i want it, i want it
I think the only people I have known to dislike Korra, never actually watched it and just made a judgement based on that last episode where it is implied that K&A get together
@@leanie2972 nah! it's bad. i've watched 6 times but it is entertaining i can give you that. Korra as character is so unlikable besides there's a lot of bad writing in that show.
Can't wait for the next thing you guys can do. Bryan and Mike are absolutely inspirational.
I'm so glad the 2D tradition will carry on through avatar studios, hopefully it'll set a new benchmark for animation because the 3D stuff is just not the same, it doesn't have the same heart and soul. Much love
I love this. I cant wait to see the new projects of the avatar universe. Thanks Bryan, what amazing job.
As a decades-long fan of Avatar, this was absolutely fascinating. I wish it was a full-length documentary.
Truly hoping these guys keep succeeding. It is so hard to continue something that is so beloved and set the bar extremely high
Avatar shaped me and means a LOT to me, even now. Only thing I want from them is the final Air season.
I couldn't possibly be happier to hear all of this coming out of his mouth. I truly cannot wait for more adventures in this absolutely incredible world!
Of course Bryan worked on Invader Zim! I love Invader Zim. I admire Zim's passion for world domination, and he view him as a role model for my own domination! I'm glad Brian mentioned the fact it was animated in Korea, because fans like to think its anime despite the fact it wasn't animated in Japan, and Koreans don't like being called Japanese. Not to mention, he said in this that he didn't want the show to be a counterfeit anime but rather its own thing. If anything, the only season of the Avatar universe that can be considered actually anime is Book 2 Spirits of Legend of Korra as it was animated by Pierrot in Tokyo.
