Avatar Animators Speak Out After Leaked Movie Circulates Online: ‘Pirating The Movie After Its Release Would Have Been Better Than This’

The upcoming Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender movie has leaked online. What started as a few clips circulating on social media has quickly become the entire 98-minute film being posted in full, free for people to download, stream, and share as they please. It’s entirely possible to stumble upon the whole movie on Twitter with no ads and watermarks if Paramount hasn’t yet hit that particular post with a copyright strike. I literally opened the site before I started writing this article and saw the whole thing at the top of my feed. Now that it’s become clear the genie can’t be put back in the bottle, folks who actually worked on the film are finally acknowledging it, and are actually pretty bummed out.
