Our take
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is a PG kids adventure. Aang and friends race to protect an ancient power, with elemental fights and a child hero in quest danger. It is not a horror film. Families who already watch Avatar should be fine from about 8
Uplifting themes
Peace, culture, friendship, and responsibility Aang and friends trying to do the right thing Culture and balance are themes
