@@NasraSalleh hello

[@IDaydreamALittleTooMuch]

I'm so incredibly glad we're getting more ATLA content after almost 20 years and maybe even a new avatar series after Korra because i grew up with it and i am not ready to let it go.

[@IDaydreamALittleTooMuch]

Ik the show's not really confirmed but a man can dream ok?

[@Gabriel-xh4yf]

Same here

[@DummyEmail-dg5os]

Guess what there's one in 2025 about the avatar after Korra

[@anthonydematteo4686]

She animated Azulas break down? That is so cool!! I love it!

[@ccorvid]

seriously, what a legend!!

[@hemmojito]

Seriously this podcast is so cool. The people you meet.

[@Nintendoggy]

Zhu Li, prepare to DO THE THING!

[@Kevwitdakcks]

😂😂😂

[@CertifiedAdachiLover]

I love Varick😭

[@myominkhant5210]

When She mentioned directing Batman, I was curious which Bataman and found out she's the director of Batman Year one, JL: Doom, Crisis on 2 world and more. So big hope and hype for the new Avatar Anng Movie 🍿.

[@JAXXNCREATED]

movie better be 2 hours long

[@kells9660]

3!!

[@joiesamaniego3056]

5 please 😂

[@Kevwitdakcks]

And in parts!

[@Justavisitorhere]

6 hours in my opinion

[@emreakaln8202]

3 hours is enough + an extended version should be released later

[@DOLLOFFICAL]

"you may now do the thing!" -bolin

[@teriastevens856]

Dante and janet, you guys make this show so fun.

[@hemmojito]

such a perfect duo

[@jeffantunes4145]

Lauren ‘The Melon Lord’ Montgomery! Has a nice ring to it. The part were you guys drew Aang reminded me of one of the OG Nickelodeon extra segment where the creator Mike Dimartino showed how to draw Aang used to love those drawing segments. great video, it had the appropriate amount of plus

[@boiwifeyasmr4U]

Okay so it actually does exist. The communication on what is and isn't real has been insane

[@TheOneAndOnly2000K]

It’s BEEN offically confirmed for over a year now bro you late lol

[@eringodwin718]

I can't wait for this movie!! In the meantime I'd love to learn more about it!

[@Robert-California]

it’s very refreshing to get even the smallest update that work is still cooking for this movie! i’m hoping they take as much time as they need

[@GeekX3010]

Without a doubt the best Nickelodeon series ever made! Or one of them 😅

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

I like that there won't be spoilers.

[@KingOfMadCows]

I really like all the DC animated films Lauren Montgomery directed, Green Lantern: First Flight and Emerald Knight, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and Doom, and Wonder Woman, which I think is better than the live action movie.

[@myominkhant5210]

So many Marvel things are out there and the reason why I'm still attached to DC is because of those movies of that times and Bruce Tim's series.

[@pulpminer6865]

the class of artists that came out of avatar is truly incredible names like Lauren Montgomery (created the Voltron Reboot with Joaquim), Dave Filoni (Whose now at lucasfilm but worked on Season One), Joaquim Dos Santos (who directed across the spiderverse), Aaron Ehasz (with the dragon Prince) amongst many others is crazy to think about how much they talent came out of the show behind the scenes congrats to them.

[@bf5209]

I got goosebumps when she was describing how she made the azula breakdown scene!!!

[@eianrichardson7997]

Lady! When I found out Andrea Romano Voice directed the Avatar serie(s) too, I SHOUTED! It all makes sense now!🤗 Let The River Run! Carly Simon!🤴🏹⚡️♾️💜🏞️

[@yurtle1851]

Great interview!

[@user-bc2wg9bg4h]

I wish they will have a brute fight scenes like TLOK has.

[@LeyaLeya-zf2vy]

We absolutely NEED a continued series of avatar the last air bender. Me and my whole family LOVED ❤the series and would love to see all the characters again in a new series/season... (especially Zuko). Who agree's with me?! ⬇️

[@keyblader007]

Please always film these visually. I listened to this on Spotify but wanted to see the drawings badly lol.

[@TheMightyN]

Outrageous!

[@MrAtrain2632]

Lauren really does have the perfect animation voice like a character out of the Simpsons

[@zukoshonour6447]

Is this about the new movie that will release in 2025?

[@Jaym_A]

I think so

[@SerialdestinagtionR]

I don't know 15:32

It’s not. The interview is with Lauren Montgomery who is directing the movie, but she says right at the start she’s not allowed to talk about it.

I’ve always loved avatar watched both of them multiple times would love to become a voice actor for the movie taking me chances lol

[@kahristah]

This is so exciting!!!

[@tiffany7023]

Why is his voice so attractive?!

[@Psyckonautic]

we all had a crush on zuko when we were young, even the straight guys had their first guy crush to this show 😂

[@philippegauvin-vallee9371]

Lauren has a peculiar voice. Maybe it's her mic but she sounds a bit like one of those voice actresses who voiced a dozen of children on a regular basis. Also, the sketches of Aang remind me of the episode in which Toph started Aang's earthbending training. She took Aang's glider staff and held up a bag with a crude but unmistakable drawing of Aang's face.

[@Vespyr_]

Movie better be in theaters. I am telling you. It's time.

[@Helluva_Fan457]

Keeping everything alive even years later❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AureateAura8]

its crazy they still remember this from years ago

[@ghostmourn]

Love the new show on Netflix, casting nailed it.

[@britintoyland]

Kind of a click bait-y title. The episode is an interview with Lauren Montgomery who is directing the new movie, but they’re still not allowed to talk about it, so it is a regular interview about her work on ATLA and Korra.

[@quirkyblackenby]

The title just says meet the director so not clickbait

[@britintoyland]

@@quirkyblackenby Yeah but they don’t even mention her name in the title and instead focus on the movie (same with the thumbnail) when they know full well there isn’t any movie news or discussion in this episode. Even just in the comments here you have people going “Finally! We’ve been waiting so long!” Just not very cool of the official KZbin to try to draw people in because of the movie when there isn’t actually anything about the movie in this episode.

[@510Sekhon]

And why is it premiering at 5pm when it’s already out on podcast apps? 😭

[@britintoyland]

@@510Sekhon They premiere it later on KZbin to show off the visuals in addition to the audio that came out earlier

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

​@britintoyland that doesn't make it clickbait though. They never said you were going to get news or anything of the sort but giving you her background and her involvement In the series

[@TheFiq9701]

Fourth.

[@xmeng137]

Justice League was iconic. I don’t like how she’s dissing JL

[@thalassophile_artist]

I doubt she really has anything against JL. It's more like an artist burn out thing. You get fed up if you spend too much time doing the same thing. Also, from the interview I got a feeling JL is not really her style.

[@ebraheemfredericks5736]

I get what you mean, but remember she's talking about a difficult job that overworked her not the show itself.

[@hemmojito]

The Boulder is conflicted about being paired with the Hipo!

[@handsanitizer5127]

The Boulder 🪨 is over his conflicted feelings and wants to marry The Hippo 🦛 💒❤ 🪨

[@nikolaspapanagnou2723]

I've read that Janet Varney is of Scottish descent. Now I kinda imagine korra with a Scottish accent.

[@Tysurgemeh]

Umm guys I think she subtly confirmed it’s going to be Cyberpunk. When they were drawing Aang and Dante said his looked like an alien she jokingly says hold onto it, eventually we’ll have them go into space or something to that effect. This just shows every generation is going to be more and more futuristic and I’m here for it!
