Netflix Adds Audio Descriptions to 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ just got more accessible to blind audiences


Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Then, everything changed again when Netflix added audio descriptions to Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Filmmaker James Rath, who was born legally blind, tweeted on Friday (September 11) that blind audiences and fans can now enjoy Nickelodeon's beloved animated series.


The streaming service acquired the rights to all three seasons of the series in May, and since then many have turned to its fantastic plot in quarantine. The series made history as the first title to spend 65 days in the top 10 streamed series on Netflix in what has been called a "stunning second life" for the series.

“So audio descriptions are cool,” Rath said in a YouTube video. “It doesn’t interrupt the dialog of most films and TV shows. It’s meant to be a narration in between dialog to help let you know the important narrative part.”

Netflix added audio descriptions to Avatar as well as its new documentary-drama hybrid The Social Dilemma and aesthetic favorite Get Organized With the Home Edit show on Friday, according to the Audio Description Project.

Netflix’s Access Services options include audio descriptions alongside features like assistive listening systems, closed captions, keyboard shortcuts, screen readers, subtitles and voice commands, which help those with hearing, sight or physical mobility needs access the platform’s content.

Blind people, of course, watch TV too, as Rath pointed out on YouTube. “Much like smartphones and computers, smart TVs have an operating system,” he said. “And an operating system allows you to navigate things, oftentimes with accessibility. Accessibility meaning letting people have access, even if they have a disability.”

One user added that earthbending master Toph Beifong from Avatar, who was blind since birth, would have benefited from the changes too. “Toph can finally see herself on tv,” they wrote.


Rath also clarified that both the TV series and the controversial live-action movie from 2010, The Last Airbender, now feature audio descriptions on Netflix.

A live-action adaptation of the series is also in the works at Netflix — even after the creators (Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko) announced they were leaving the project in August.

“When Netflix brought me on board to run this series alongside Mike two years ago, they made a very public promise to support our vision,” Konietzko shared on Instagram. “Unfortunately, there was no follow-through on that promise… We ultimately came to the belief that we would not be able to meaningfully guide the direction of the series.”



Well, friends... there you have it. Big sigh. 💔⬇️💔 I’m sure many of you will understandably want to know more and will ask me questions in the comments, here and on subsequent posts and live-streams and in-person encounters and everywhere else ad infinitum. I wish I could explain things in greater detail, but the above statement is really all I can say about the matter so I won’t be answering any of those. I encourage you to head over to my partner Michael DiMartino’s account to get his take on our departure too: @mike_dante_d Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, and I’m sorry our involvement in the live-action project did not work out. Time to get on with my life. Onward and upward. 💙 Love, Bryan #avatarthelastairbender #cocreators #michaeldimatino #bryankonietzko #bryke #atla #liveactionseries #netflix

Jerry Beck Once Wrote a Book About the History of Nickelodeon

Written by Jerry Beck for Animation Scoop:

I Wrote A Book About the History of Nickelodeon That No One Has Ever Seen


Five years ago I spent 12 months on a special project that has never seen the light of day.

I wrote a history of Nickelodeon – for Nickelodeon – an elaborate in-house book project that was pure pleasure to research and write. It included tipped-in booklets featuring interviews with Gerry Laybourne, Herb Scannell, Fred Seibert, Vanessa Coffey, Albie Hecht, and Mary Harrington. It had all kinds of fold-outs and pop-outs, mini-comics and original posters. The graphics, the photos and art, were amazing. The actual text is pretty good too.

Don’t ask me where you can get one – I was only given one “author’s copy” (photo above) hot off the press, so I know it was published. The story I heard is that only 1000 copies were created. And outside of the interviewees and few other Nick execs at the time, no one else I know got a copy. It was never on Amazon; It was never for sale.

In fact, as I understand it, it was never intended for sale. It was created as a gift to celebrate the network’s anniversary, and to champion its talent – artists still at Nick and past creatives who contributed to building the channel. It was an effort to help garner goodwill towards Nick at a time when its fortunes were beginning to droop (the company has since bounded back). But apparently those thousand printed copies sat in a storeroom somewhere – and rumor has it they may have been destroyed. I don’t really know.


Initiated by then Nick Animation president Russell Hicks (an 18-year veteran of the company who rose through the ranks by developing the Nick’s Shorts program and who ultimately green lit The Loud House), I was contacted to join the project as a work-for-hire, to pen text that spanned the beginnings of the channel as component of Time-Warners Qube experiment in Columbus Ohio, through its earliest original live and animated programming – and all they way up to its current successes with Spongebob and Dora.

My own involvement with Nickelodeon goes back to 1994 when I was hired by Gerry Laybourne to develop animated features for Nickelodeon Movies. I’d later write two books for the company, Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons (2007) and The Spongebob Squarepants Experience (2013) – and produced a pilot, Hornswiggle.

The same week I received my author’s copy of this book in 2016, word hit the trades that Russell had resigned his position at Nickelodeon. Management changes were afoot. I wondered if this would affect the book… and it did. Russell had written the book’s foreword and his photo adorned a full page. My guess is they didn’t want to give the book away when the person introducing it was now no longer part of the company.

I’d kept quiet about the project the past few years – but I recently came across two posts about the book (both online since 2016), both from folks involved with its production. Since this thing isn’t a secret anymore, I might as well call attention to it – even if you can’t see it. You can at least see some of the layouts and get an idea of what it looked like.


Both pieces online were posted by Struck, the design firm in Utah who pulled the book together (and from what I gathered, this was the first book this studio ever produced). This first link is by Brent Watts, one of Struck’s founders, and appears on the Medium blog. Brett is a hell of a nice guy and his company is top notch.

The second post is on Behance.net, a platform for designers. Here you’ll see more of the clever designs and layouts Struck created based on information I provided.


You Can’t Do That On Television: The Rebellious History of Nickelodeon has no ISBN number, there are no used copies on eBay, it has no historical footprint. I would assume the trickle of copies that got out to the interviewees and assorted Nick execs will eventually accrue some value, as word of this legendary tome gains more attention. All I can say is it was a joy to assemble.

I want to publicly thank Russell Hicks and Brett Watts for the opportunity to participate in this amazing project. I only wish more people could see it.

'Blues Clues & You!' Host Joshua Dela Cruz Brings the Kindness of Mr. Rogers to Children's Programming

Blues Clues & You host Joshua Dela Cruz aspires to bring the same hope and optimism to children’s programming that Fred Rogers showcased in Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.


“Because we are human there are days when things don’t look so hopeful and things kind of wear down on us a lot more,” Dela Cruz shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “But then we think about where we are as a society and where we were as a society undoubtedly things are getting better.”

“Things are still not great,” he admitted. “But it’s that progress that maybe 70 years ago my wife and I wouldn’t have been able to get married, which is something to look back on as how we’ve come a long way. And we have so much further to go.” Dela Cruz is of Filipino descent and his wife is white.

Joshua Dela Cruz views Fred Rogers as a gold standard in children’s programming

The country was in somewhat similar position when Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood began airing in 1968. Civil unrest, war, and anger rippled across the U.S. and Rogers found ways to bring children and adults together.

“Fred Rogers was a genius in his approach to children’s television,” Dela Cruz said. “I’m just an actor and I have a team of geniuses that I work for that are creating the show that we work together on.”

“Especially today when the world is getting so much more smaller and smaller,” he said. “It’s important for us to realize that there are a lot of different perspectives on this one thing. And is there a way to find the least violent course of action where we can be understanding that we don’t have to agree.”


“But we also need to agree that we’re talking about humans and not numbers or criminals,” Dela Cruz added. “So why is this thing happening? And is there any way to solve that issue? Yelling at each other is never going to get anything done. And playing the blame game never gets anything done.”

“The only way we can truly solve something is if we talk about it,” he remarked. “If we work together in order to help people. I think that that’s kind of the thing where we’re in a very strange place where it’s us versus them when it’s all us.”

Dela Cruz has hope for the future

“But progress is coming,” Dela Cruz shared. “And I think that the hopeful thing about all of this is that we’re having such a serious conversation about all of it. And so it does leave us more hopeful in those times where it’s especially dark.”

He understands the weighty responsibility parents are currently facing between balancing distance learning due to the on-going COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and racial injustice in the country. “I can’t imagine the responsibility that parents have in tackling these issues in a way that kids can comprehend and understand,” he said. “And, you know, in some ways I think they can understand much better than we can. It’s right and wrong.”


“So it’s really our responsibility, we feel, to dive deeper and to try to remove our initial emotional response to get a fuller picture,” he explained.

Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand to Premiere 'Ollie's Pack' on Monday, September 21

Nickelodeon Ventures Into The Monsterverse In Original Animated Series Ollie’s Pack


Ollie, his two best friends, and an otherworldly backpack, embark on monstrous adventures in Nickelodeon’s new original action-comedy series, Ollie’s Pack, premiering on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand on Monday, September 21, at 4pm (AEST).

Produced by Nelvana, the 26-episode, 2D-animated series follows the adventures of Ollie, who is faced with the struggles of tween life and the responsibility of controlling an entire dimension of monsters when he discovers his backpack is a powerful portal to Monsterverse.

Together with Cleo and Bernie, the three friends must protect the earth from the horrifying monsters that have escaped, while calling on the more helpful monsters to help them with their everyday kid problems, including sneaking into movies and winning their school’s Battle of the Bands contest.

In the first episode, “The Chosen One…Stinks,” Ollie’s stinky sweat is a hot commodity in the Monsterverse so he exchanges it with a monster who offers to do his laundry.

Then in “Not Another Superhero Movie,” Ollie and his friends utilise a monster’s powers to make an epic superhero movie for their film club.

The series stars James Hartnett (Cupcake & Dino) as Ollie, an ordinary, impulsive, and creative kid who has been given the status of ‘Chosen One’ and ‘Keeper of the Pack’, Ana Sani (Mysticons) as Cleo, the brave and adventurous comic relief, and David Berni (Rocket Monkeys) as Bernie, the nervy and logical voice of reason.


Along the way, audiences will be introduced to some larger than life monsters including Andre and Bev, a bounty hunting double act, Major Snooch, a high ranking official in the Ministry of Chosen One Affairs, and Rance, a weaselly petty thief in utter denial about his boldfaced stealing.

Ollie’s Pack made its world premiere on Nickelodeon in the U.S. in April 2020, and is slated to debut internationally later this year, reaching over 170 countries and territories.

The series originated from “Monster Pack,” an original short made for Nickelodeon’s 2013 Animated Shorts Program. Creators Pedro Eboli (Cupcake & Dino) and Graham Peterson (Rick & Morty) met at the Vancouver Film School and have now been friends for over 10 years. Pedro is a creator, producer, director and animator from Rio de Janeiro, while Graham is an animation supervisor and instructor at local and overseas studios.

Fans can visit nick.co.uk to find out more about their favourite Nickelodeon shows, as well as watch videos and play games.
