Dee also performed as Appa and Momo in the original series.Ĥ. It’s amazing to watch him work as he transitions between the human and animal realms. Dee Bradley Baker is a voice acting virtuoso! Not only does he play Councilman Tarrlok in The Legend of Korra, he is also the voice of Naga, Pabu and Oogi. The new model of Naga is modeled after our dogs, who are brothers.ģ. But when we came up with Korra’s character, we wanted her to have an animal mode of transport and revisited that old drawing.

We never found a place for it in Avatar: The Last Airbender. When we were developing the original series back in 2002, Bryan had done a sketch of a bipedal polar bear-dog creature. The character of Korra’s polar bear-dog, Naga, was actually created ten years ago. But even though we use computers to help us make the show, all the animation of the characters and bending effects are still hand-drawn.Ģ. It handled the CG vehicle models - all the cars, airships, and other CG vehicles. We also worked with a studio in India called Technicolor. They handled designing characters and backgrounds as well as all the animation and compositing for the first season. In addition to the artists at the Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif., we collaborated with Studio Mir in South Korea.

Making The Legend of Korra requires hundreds of artists in three different countries.
