While the live-action of Netflix’sAvatar: The Last Airbendermay be making headlines as one of the newest adaptations from a property from the past, the original animated series to this day has one of the most loyal and vocal fanbase out of any other, and for good reason.
Sure enough, making such a beloved piece of entertainment wasn’t an easy feat by any means, but since the end product was so exceptionally amazing, people were curious to know just how much went into bringing the vision to life.
Therefore, to enlighten the audience and fans of the series, co-creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko opened up about what went behind the scenes in making this animated show, including diving deep into the execution of the series.
In fact, its execution was what had gotten the creators in a tizzy, since coming up with ideas and animating them was easy, but finding a team and relaying those ideas to them was the hardest part.

The road to achieving greatness and immortality in the memories of the public was a mirror image of the main character Aang’s story for co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, which they shared with the public.
In a past interview withHypable, the showrunners explained that creating and coming up with ideas for the narrative, characters, and environments came naturally to them, which wasn’t a big headache. The problems started to get real when their idea got picked up by Nickelodeon, assembling a team and relaying their ideas to them is what stressed them out.
They recalled having to go through a lot to find like-minded individuals and establish a creative flow between them to bring the show to life. DiMartino said:
“Once we were picked up for a series, the reality of making those ideas into concrete, 22-minute episodes is a whole other challenge. Finding writers, artists, and a crew whose sensibilities matched the show was essential. There was a lot of trial and error early on to figure out the best way to produce the show with the time, money, and talent involved.”
