Yip-Yip! The voice cast of
Avatar: The Last Airbender virtually reunited Saturday evening to discuss the beloved Nickelodeon series and its pop culture legacy more than a decade after the program left the air. Also present was the show s voice director, Andrea Romano, who explained why the project was so groundbreaking for the world of animation. According to her, the project really helped the anime style become appreciated as a respected . art-form for kids programming. They turned a corner in a big way, she said, going on to reference the fact that while classic anime (like Gigantor and
Kimba the White Lion) had beautiful animation, their voice-work was God-awful. She continued: [Creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko] knew from the get-go . what was going to happen 60 episodes later. They had it mapped out in stories, three books of 20 episodes each and had it figured out what each of you [the actors] would be doing. That s pretty remarkable.
