Avatar is wonderful cartoon for more than just the people in the 6-11 target audience. There is the occasional childish humor (which, for the most part, I find somewhat smart and funny), but for the most part "potty" humor is avoided, which I appreciate. The plot is layered and intelligent, each character is well developed and has many dimensions, and it portrays real struggles--it's more than just mindless eye candy for children. On that note, the animation is also spectacular. People try to define it in certain classes of animation, but in the end it doesn't matter, it's very good. Some cons are sometimes the dialogue can be cheesy, even if it's important and furthers the story line. This include things like bursting saying random information which may be important to the viewer, but seems unlikely for it to be what the character would say at the time. Also, I am not a fan of the romance that develops with the main character because this is not a show about romance. I believe that a tenet of the show is the importance of love and friendship, but it comes off to me as saying that boys and girls can't be friends on television. It feels cheap. A third thing is while I really like the voice of Zuko, the acting is a little weak on his part, but that's up to interpretation. It's easy to list things I don't like, but there is a reason I gave it a 9. I would recommend to everybody that they pick this show up!
