In Wikipedia, a comparison is made of Catbus and the Cheshire Cat. Yeah, especially around the mouth…

Then I wonder if catbus was based on a Water Bear. I think that the creators of Avatar are geniuses — genii? ;] — who probably know about Water Bears, and said “hey, this would make a really cool cartoon character, and cartooning is another talent of mine besides biology!”
Like The Far Side cartoonist.

I always wondered what the reason for the six legs were, and why Appa really doesn’t look like a bison at all. It all makes so much sense now o.o.

*memories of my old water bear report* I remember reading somewhere that water bears can freeze up in cold weather and remain that way until it warms up and they defrost so that they can get back to their lives. Maybe that’s why they chose to make Appa look like a water bear?

Even though Shyamalan movies tend to suck, he actually *watched* the show before adapting it. Points for him there, at least.

I am also an avatar fan, and by the picture, I can tell that that is not Appa, but it is Appa’s mother. I know, it’s kinda sad I know that…

Well, being truthful, they don’t bear a striking enough resemblance. But my little brother named her, and I think it’s pretty fitting, considering her energy and all-around cutseyocity. http://twitpic.com/7hkc2 It took us forever to name her, and my dad still insists on calling her Buffy. *Sokkafacepalm* [enhanced facepalm]

Pshh. Is it cooler than a trilobite?

I’d prefer someone who didn’t make the movie automatically racist. Good guys [white] vs Bad guys [brown]. And, Fire Nation people are supposed to be pale, anyway!

Loyal Avatar fan here.
I believe that Dev Patel is the least of our worries. If he has any acting chops at all he can act mad all the time and the special effects department will take care of the scar. What about Shaun Toub as Uncle Iroh? I love Iroh and I fear for this character more than Zuko.

I, honestly, was thinking Taylor Lautner. He was that Indian dude in Twilight. He definitely has the grouchy-face and intimidating body for it.

It is so rare that I stumble across a tardigrade when not out searching for them…

I didn’t think they’d post it up! Neat! I know it’s Appa’s mama. (Hey, maybe he’s the one in front of her?) It was the best pose I could find that looked like the Water Bear. Glad you guys liked it!

Taco… would you prefer Jesse McCartney?.. Cos that’s who was originally cast as Zuko

Appa was based off of catbus from “My neighbor totoro!” An wayyyy creepier version of a water bear. lol

I recall just cooing in an ever-so girly fashion when I saw my first Tardigrade. They are just so adorable despite being so microscopic

OMG. If animals had ’stats’, the “water bear” (technically a Tardigrade) would kick everythings ass! I am always suprised noone knows what the hell a Water Bear is. Look it up. It would give Chuck Norris a good fight….
