What Parents Need to Know
About Avatar: The Last Airbender
Parents need to know that this show isn't a one-dimensional display of cartoon violence. The well-developed fantasy material includes a spiritual aspect that underlies much of the plot, making it an epic martial arts tale, rather than a bang-'em-up show. Pre-screen a few episodes to see whether the action is appropriate for grade-schoolers.

Lives in CaliforniaI rate this title on for age 6 and give itCan't wait till the movie!
It was great and I can't wait for the movie! However, the pairings/couples were a bit confusing and hard to understand. Frustrating. Violence is mild, just scars basically.
