Product Description
The newly discovered Avatar, twelve year-old Aang, must learn to master the four elements to save his world from the Fire Nation.
Amazon.com
The long journey of young Avatar Aang and his friends Katara, Sokka, and Toph continues in this dramatic installment in the Avatar the Last Airbender series. Picking up from Volume 3, the first chapter on this disc, "Appa's Lost Days," traces the hard times of Aang's winged bison, Appa, after the latter is stolen in order to blackmail Aang into not going to the Earth King with information about a pending coup. The clever Aang manages to find Appa anyway and complete his crucial mission, though he learns, in "The Earth King," that the sheltered monarch doesn't buy the notion that his own counsel, the power-grasping Long Feng, could be behind such a conspiracy. Complicating matters is the arrival of Princess Azula to take control over forces loyal to Long Feng, while Zuko, the reformed Fire Nation prince now acting as a humble but happier servant to his wise, tea-drinking uncle, is powerless to stop her. (On the other hand, Zuko forms an unexpected bond with one of Aang's allies.) Everything comes to a head in "The Crossroads of Destiny," in which Aang, suddenly confused by the sage advice of a guru who tells him he must free himself of a crucial emotional attachment, joins the others in an uphill effort to stop Azula from overtaking the Earth King. As engaging and frequently funny as every other volume in the Avatar series, Volume Four is a great ride through a climactic time in the long-running story. --Tom Keogh

Really for everyone March 31, 2008

Some of the kids in my daughters school started showing up with blue arrows on their foreheads, so I asked what it meant, being the dumb grownup that I am. Avatar, was the answer, and one of the other children brought a copy the next day for "everyone" (me, my wife and our daughter) to watch. Now I have never shrunk from watching endless repeats of Finding Nemo, or Cars, but I was not prepared for the Avatar phenomenon. It drew me right in and has held my attention though each episode, and I sometimes think I like it more than my own daughter likes it. There is nothing not to like about this series and it is truly for every age group, which is pretty amazing.
One of the other parents I know passed on Avatar, without watching any, claiming it was too violent, too much war, blah, blah. In fact, it is about a world at war, and a very long war. And there is some violence, although I do not believe a single character has been killed, nor has anyone shed blood. There have not been any moments when my daughter felt too frightened to watch. And it is really not about war but about being redeemed from war. The Avatar, a young boy, is trying to stop the war and save the world. But it is not namby pamby about showing some pretty hard fought battles and the creators have clearly done some intensive studying on the different martial arts styles. Anyway, the stories are all great and you should become addicted too, just like me.
I am addicted to this SHOW! September 5, 2007

ZUKO....you either love the twerp...or ya HATE him. *sighs* I love this show! I could watch it over again and again! It is fantastic, and I am constantly pleasantly surprised! (THOUGH I still want to wack ZUKO on the head!) *ahem* Love all the other characters though! LOVE THIS SHOW...PERIOD!
Love the reversals... September 24, 2007
Matthew C. Alston (Roosevelt, New York USA)
I have to admit, in this day and age, very few animations that are "made-for-American-audiences" have caught my attention like AVATAR, THE LAST AIRBENDER. I came across the pilot episode by accident, flipping channels and ending up on Nickelodeon. I am an anime fan and an artist/writer myself, so I was obviously interested. And I gotta tell ya, for an animation that is intended for children, it is much more intelligent then I thought it would be. And seeing as how one of the creators is a student of the martial arts, (the influence being obvious to me), the creators seem to be writing what they know and have executed their story successfully (with a flare of the fantastic I might add). This particular volume (Vol.4) has shown a variety of character reversals that I found to be accurate after viewing the previous Books and their volumes. In my opinion, if a parent wants to slowly introduce their child to some of the philosophies behind martial arts, and the models, philosophy and lore that underpin many philosophical systems and the spiritual energy practices, religious observance and personal discipline associated with the CHAKRAS (Sanskrit term meaning wheel), this volume is a great way to start. I just hope the creators and their associate writers continue to remain intelligent with their writing in the next few animated books, Fire and Air. If so, their successful executions I believe will follow... (Many props to the Korean/Japanese animators). Looking forward to seeing the rest on DVD. (NOTE: These animated books are best viewed without commercial interruptions.)
Awesome October 2, 2007

The only problem with this DVD is that you have to wait for the next season..

It's the Avatar. My whole family enjoys watching it together or seperate. We eagerly await the new episodes on TV. There really isn't anything not to like. If you like the show. You will like the DVD. Kudos to Amazon for offering the same or similar pricing as Wal-Mart. I am only sorry to see the show come to an end...
