Book 1: water

From January 2002 Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko began to design the series. At the beginning of 2003, Nickelodeon gave them the starting signal for the production of a series pilot . The pilot was animated at Tin House, Inc. in South Korea and completed in February 2004. The pilot was published for the first time on the US DVD set of book one, but only with an audio commentary that could not be removed. Almost four years later, the pilot appeared in the iTunes Store without audio commentary . A television broadcast never took place.

The pilot is not part of the series, but contains many ideas that were realized differently or changed later in the series. For example: Katara was still called Kya here; the children meet the sea serpent on the way; a statue of a lion turtle and the male prototype of Toph can be seen in the intro. In addition, Mitchel Musso can be heard as Aang, who was replaced by Zach Tyler Eisen for the series . The rest of the cast was retained for the series.
