The Last Airbender is the 2010 live-action feature film directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan, based on Nickelodeon’s animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Paramount lists the film as an action/adventure rated PG, with a runtime of 103 minutes. It is a separate film, not the animated series or a documentary.
What is The Last Airbender?
The film adapts the animated series’ world and characters into a live-action story. Paramount’s synopsis centers on Aang, a boy with bending powers, and the conflict among the Air, Water, Earth and Fire nations. The Avatar is able to master all four elements and is presented as the figure who can end the conflict. The principal cast includes Noah Ringer as Aang, Dev Patel as Zuko, Nicola Peltz as Katara, Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, Shaun Toub as Uncle Iroh and Summer Bishil as Azula. Paramount’s film listing identifies the movie as the 2010 feature.

How is the film different from the animated series?
Avatar: The Last Airbender is the original Nickelodeon animated series; The Last Airbender is the live-action film adaptation. Nickelodeon describes the series as three seasons and 61 episodes, originally broadcast from February 2005 through July 2008. Those episode and broadcast details refer to the series, not the film. Nickelodeon’s 2021 announcement gives the series’ history.
How long is the movie, and who is it for?
Paramount lists The Last Airbender at 103 minutes and rated PG. Its listed genre is action/adventure. These are the distributor’s film details; the animated series’ three-season, 61-episode run is a different format and should not be confused with the movie’s runtime.
