As Netflix’s live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender nears, many fans will be feeling nostalgic about the original Nickelodeon series.

That series ran from 2005 to 2008 and, despite there only being three seasons, had an incredible impact on fans around the world.

Millions tuned in to watch Aang (voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen), the new Avatar and the last of the Airbenders, on his quest to save the world.

Now, Gordon Cormier will take on the mantle, leading the new cast as Aang in Netflix’s live-action series, alongside stars like Daniel Dae Kim (Fire Lord Ozai) and Dallas James Liu (Zuko).
