That's really cool that you used it as an opportunity to talk with the kids about the issues involved. :) I hope that there were other parents out there in movieland that did likewise!

Yeah, the casting on Zuko and Iroh looked kinda intriguing, and I do regret missing out on seeing the f/x come to life (though from what I've heard, they didn't really do a good job with *that*, even!). But everything else I've heard about the movie, from the casting to the acting to the script, sounds horrible. It's really a shame that they botched it so badly, because it could have been so cool.
