\nIn the BCTV world, when you mention 'Avatar'? The first thing that comes to mind is the beloved Nickelodeon animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender . But one question that's been floating around officially unanswered for years was if there was any connection between the two universes other than 'Avatar.' Thankfully, animator & series director Giancarlo Volpe has shed some light on how Cameron's films and the animated world are connected in a very legal way.
\nImage: Nickelodeon\/20th Century Studios\n'In 2004, we learned that we had to change the name of our show from 'Avatar' to 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' because James Cameron already had the rights to a movie called Avatar,'' Volpe shared via Twitter this week. 'Now the sequel is called 'The Way of Water.' If part 3 is called 'The Firebending Masters,' we riot,' the animator\/director joked.
