The Messy Release of 'Avatar Aang' Continued at San Diego Comic-Con

Update: Flying Bark, the studio that worked on Avatar Aang, confirmed to io9 that the film was made using “traditional methods.” “The precision of artistry and animation in every frame…should be celebrated. It is the result of incredible collaboration across every department and discipline, culminating in a breathtaking masterpiece led by an exceptional creative leadership team,” wrote CEO Barbara Stephen. “Flying Bark practices a traditionally influenced hand-drawn animation style, relying on industry software including Harmony, Maya, Houdini and Nuke. Our talented artists produced everything for Aang in the studio using traditional methods.” Abrams Books has similarly confirmed the images from the SDCC panel “are not tied in any way” to the publisher and Zahed’s art book, or “to any of the other Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender movie tie-in titles published by [us].” Original story: 2026 hasn’t been easy for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
