My family and I are hotly anticipating the REAL Avatar movie coming out soon - "The Last Airbender". We've recently got hooked on the cartoon, and my 8 year olds and 4 year old love it. To be honest, my wife loves it too, and I think it's really great. It's a perfect allegory tale about right and wrong, good and evil, protecting whats right - it's great. And it's not your typical Manga style, like Yu Gi Oh or something that looks ridiculous. Its a good story, funny and exciting.
Don't get my little quip wrong, though. I like the James Cameren "Avatar" movie a lot - it just stole the name. I recommend renting "Avatar - The last Airbender Book 1 - Water" at your local videostore or Netflix. Even without kids I would have enjoyed it. But the kids sure make it a whole lot funner.
Yes, I intend to program my children with Avatar. Actually, I use it on myself too.
