Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
You know what right now I don't care if the cast are all blue, green, orange, and purple people as long as Zuko/Azula and Sokka/Katara look like they are related: thats it! And that isn't very hard, shows like power rangers* have done it for years.
*the only reason I chose this particular show is because they change cast members every season. Making the task harder to find new people who look like some one else.

Acctually, all of the younger characters have American accents and the adults go either way.

Hey, as a newcomer to tv.com, I see that the ATLA movie discussion is well under way! Anyway just to add my thoughts...although speculating is fun, I think that perhaps relaxing and and just waiting for the casting announcements could be beneficial. Other discussion topics, i.e. the attached actors, CGI pros and cons... are what I am really interested in. Race seems to be a burning topic, and I can see why, but as according to DrAvatar, the casting directors are accepting auditions for all races, the actor's acting ability is more important. I'm sure the movie will be great, despite its large shoes to fill(from the amzing show!). And might I add, I can't wait for the next Avatar episode to air!! ahhhhg
P.S. APPA AND MOMO.....FOREVER!

ok you're right, it's MUCH more fun to speculate, it just seemed like people got too forceful at times...
even though they've kind of changed aang's age in the movie (isn't jonathan nguyen 17?), do you think they'll keep Zuko, Katara, Azula and Sokka's ages the same? Especially Azula, I know she's supposed to be 15, but she always seemed to be much older on the show, in my opinion.

I apologise right away for bringing shipping into this, but if Kataang happens in the show then in the movie they can't make Katara much older than she already is. Like the post above me said, one of the key elements of Avatar is that Aang is a twelve year old saving the world, so his age will probably be the same in the film. But if Katara is sixteen or something, then it'd be kind of creepy to watch her kiss the twelve year old Aang (and I'm talking characters, not actors here).

The actors will probably be a few years older than the characters they portray for practical reasons.
All 3 movies will take about 3 to 6 years to make. So if the kids start out as 12, there'll be a noticeable difference in their age as the movies progress and since the movies' timeline will be less than a year. It'd be like watching the Harry Potter movies knowing all 7 take place within a year.

As one gets older, aging becomes less apparent. One who is 22 doesn't look that different than when he was 19, whereas one who is 15 looks very different from when he was 12.
