My Thoughts:
I love when I can have my niece and nephew help with a review, as they always see my girls helping and wish they could be included. So, when I heard that Paramount Home Media and Nickelodeon were releasing Book Three of the hit animated series, The Legend of Korra, on blu-ray and DVD the other day, I knew that this would be perfect for them, as they are both huge fans of the show.
In addition to the 13 full length episodes that make up Book Three, this new release also contains 4 "The Spirit of an Episode" featurettes that my niece and nephew ended up watching first and loved.
If you are not familiar with this Nickelodeon show, which is also huge online across digital platforms, this is an extension of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" which continues the story legendary story. What was so great about Book Three and its 13 episodes was the new characters and story lines fans of the show were introduced to. I sat down with my niece and nephew to watch a few episodes and couldn't pay attention, as they were talking my ear off about what was going to happen next and what I had missed in the previous two books. But, when I finally was able to watch an episode, I could see why they and so many others love this show and why the show has a growing fan base. I also love seeing a girl in lead role -- in this case, it is Korra, who is making it her mission to rebuild the Air Mission. It is hard to find animated shows like this in which there are girls in the cast, let alone a lead role.
Even though my girls are too young to watch this show, I love knowing that there are shows like this on Nickelodeon and available to own to DVD and Blu-ray that I can share with my niece, and watch as she really gets into it and loves to talk about the show like she does.
If you have a "The Legend of Korra" fan in your house and are still looking for gifts to pick up for the holidays, why not consider purchasing this new release, which is available on both Blu-ray and DVD, to surprise them with?
