    I only found a few that I really aggree with:
    Young Azula : Suzuka Ohgo
    Toph: Miranda Cosgrove
    Long Feng: James Hong

    I can see Dante Basco as Zuko just becuase he does the voice and he does kind of resemble Zuzu... Or maybe a less smiley Ricky Ullman

    I dissagree with Dakota Fanning as Toph. She's too pale and frail looking to pull off a role that is centered so much on physiscal strength. The same applies for many of the actors put for Katara and Sokka: too caucasian looking.

    What do you mean, "too pale"? Toph looks pretty pale in a lot of her scenes. Your opinion though.

    Isn't Miranda Cosgrove caucasian herself??? (a very pretty one at that!)?? Actually, toph can be considered frail... and small....?? Its the clothes she's wearing and that fact that she IS powerful and mow down almost anyone who gets in her way that makes her presence imposing.

    Besides, being brought up pampered and sheltered all the time can make one pale.?? Although being with the gang should give her plenty of sunshine.

    I mean that seeing as that where essentally the entire avatar world is asianesque, it just wouldnt make sense to send in a blatantly white kid to represent an earth kingdom native. I guess this is true with Miranda as well. While it is possible to dye Dakota's hair, I just dont think it would acheive the same effect. I suppose her build and paleness could work, and undoubtedly her acting would more than do the role justice, I just don't think she has the look. But this is all just my humble opinion.

    Well, what's more important, nailing the part, or nailing the looks?

    Well, if is because Dakota doesn't have asian features, then why don't they make the show in japanese or chinease with english subtitles? Why do they put asian people playing american people in the movies, I honestly think that it doesn't matter, and btw, Toph LOOK WEAK AND PALE! That's why her parets overprotected her....

    What? I never said that. I was just voicing my own opinion in a sarcastic manner. I'd never call someone else's opinion stupid.

    Funny thing is, because of her round, light blue eyes, Toph doesn't look asian.?? But that is normal, since there really are some asians that have caucasian features, like round eyes, (sometimes even blue eyes!) a roman nose and reddish or brownish hair.?? Although i have yet to see a truly blonde asian.??

    But don't worry, i'll google around for asian child actors for avatar character parts and post it here very soon!
