We received a free copy of The Ultimate Aang and Korra Blu-rayTM Collection from Nickelodeon. Opinions are our own.
We have an interesting history with Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra in this house. I noticed that Avatar was on Netflix and suggested that the kids and I begin watching it together. After watching the first episode and the kids not being as enthused as I thought they would be we stopped watching. Then Eva watched the entire series on her own and loved it. She then dove into The Legend of Korra. Now she was the expert on both shows and I had to play catch up when I was the one who wanted to watch the shows in the first place… with the kids.
Well, we can watch the shows from start to finish now with this new collection from Nickelodeon. The Ultimate Aang and Korra Blu-rayTM Collection came out on December 7th and it is filled with so many extras including 80 minutes of never before seen content. One of those bits of content is a special recording with newly launched Avatar: Braving the Elements podcast hosts Janet Varney (voice of “Korra”) and Dante Basco (voice of “Zuko,” “General Iroh”). It is great seeing the two together talking about the shows. The other special new feature is exploring the Auditory Avatarverse with creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. They talk about how the music from the score was influenced and they then also get into a conversation with the Foley artists and this brings up so much of the subtleties of the shows beyond the visual art and amazing voice cast.
The set also features eight collectible art cards a that are done in the Japanese Sumi art style. The cards feature Aang, Sokka, Katara and Zuko from Avatar and Korra, Mako, Asami and Bolin. These are beautiful cards. This is all of the new stuff. The disc are also packed with hours of additional bonus materials for even the biggest Avatar and Legend of Korra fans out there. Audio commentary, behind the scenes animatics and so much more.
