Hi all, these quality videos, most of them only available from The_Last_Airbender DVD/Blu-ray 2-disc combo pack, have been up on youtube since December 21, 2010. Paramount has not pulled them, probably due to its promotional value. The 9-part documentary in particular, is a good source of references for the film pages. XD XD XD
For your convenience, I am posting them all here. Be forewarned: a) Mike and Bryan were supervising M.Night on set as executive producers and b) Aang's arrow tattoo was Bryan's idea! Enjoy!
