Aang: "All life is sacred" Sandbenders: *Kidnap Appa* Aang: "All life was sacred"

"You still full of love, But fear has moved in where trust should be" that line breaks me everytime. Crying like a little baby

Fun facts: • Appa's tail is often used as an escalator. • According to his missing posters and a statement made by Aang, Appa's weight was ten tons. • In "The Warriors of Kyoshi", Sokka referred to Appa as a "ten-ton magical monster". • In "The Library", it was stated that Appa had a double-chin. • In " Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku" states that Appa is the only flying bison left in the world. However, it was later revealed that after the end of the War, Aang discovered a whole new herd of sky bison APPA is literally the character that nobody hates.

This episode is one of the many episodes in this show that make me tear bend bc you can really see the resilience appa went through jus to find aang 🥺

Note 4:03 Suki gives Appa an apple. A small reminder of Aang handing Appa an apple when they first bonded. I'm sure the creators did this intentionally to explain Appa learning to trust again.

Honestly, after seeing what appa went through in this episode, AANG’s behavior in “ the desert” episode is very understandable and it explains why he was so ticked off.

My younger sister never understood why I liked this episode growing up. She always said “it’s too sad.” But I knew there was method to the sadness.

*THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT! THE GOAT!*

This reminds me of what Iroh said, "In the darkest times, hope, is something you give yourself, that is the meaning of true strength." I love this video and I hope it gets more attention from it

Airbenders used to have the ability to fly, untethered by worldly attachments. When they met the sky bison, their love for one another prevented the airbenders from learning to fly - their love for their bison kept them tethered to the ground (as explained in Korra). ATLA never explored this concept, but it adds so much more to how deep the relationship is between Aang and Appa - making the episodes where they are apart so much more impactful in retrospect.

i wanted to skip this episode so bad it was painful but i don’t regret watching it . shows a lot and our animals are so special. our true companions

"You still full of love, But fear has moved in where trust should be" that line. Duuuude, y made tear up man

It killed me when you said "Azula, circus freak and emo girl" at 4:31 xD

I cry like a bitch through this entire episode every time i watch it. Appa keeps finding hope, only to have it violently ripped away every time. His flashback to being a baby bison is so sweet and so sad. Also seeing how Appa trusts people less and less to the point that Guru Patik had to stay still for days before Appa believed he wasnt a threat. Appa deserved better 💔

Appa is also extremely loyal to his companions, he wanted to stay and help the kyoshi warriors but suki knew that he needed to find aang

These episodes make me so emotional all the time. How beautiful is innocence, and how fragile it is.... We must strive to protect ALL animals from torture and abuse. No living being deserves to be hurt in this way.....

Wow. I'd never connected Aang's hopelessness with Appa's continued hope. Although Appa does kind of get that bad by the time the Kyoshi warriors found him. That whole arc is just so heartbreaking. Best of luck to your channel!

When I first watched this episode I was just kid, now I'm a 30 year old man and this episode makes me teary eyed. Excellent video BTW.

I always liked the fact that this episode could have easily been skipped. They showed Aang trying to find Appa, and then they had a beautiful reunion. No one would have said anything if they thought "showing you how much Appa has suffered would have been too much". Instead, they fully committed, and created a wonderful episode

Baby appa is the cutest thing ever but these episodes as a kid made me cry. Now as a man I cry even harder

Dawg, Appa is the homie.

4:30 "Azula, circus freak and emo girl" BRO

I love how you pointed out that Appa is Aang’s living breathing hope. It sure is hard to instill hope within, esp when the world is trying constantly to rob it off you, but watching this video, on a time like this where I feel hopeless, sure does help. Maybe it’s time for me to open up my eyes and see the “Appa” within the people around me. Thank you for this video. 🤗

I think if you eatch carefully you see glimpses of Appa's strong will, love and loyalty. In season 1 ep 15, Appa kept fighting the shirshu even when he got hit. He is willing to protect Aang at all costs. Even in season 1 ep 8 when Aang wanted to go into the fire nation without Katra and Sokka, Appa refused to go because he knew Aang would need the help. Appa is a full character throughout the show if you watch carefully, even Momo. In fact both are not just apart of team avatar but are just as important as any other member

I remember when nicktoons would exclusively air this set of episodes and NOTHING ELSE for what seemed to be forever, not even stuff from previous seasons. It was a special type of hell seeing appa suffer over and over

This story arc was straight-up PAINFUL to watch during the original series run. I watched these episodes when they first aired in 2006, and we had to wait TWO WEEKS for every new episode. That means they kept us in suspense for over 2 months before Aang and Appa were finally reunited.

“Azula, circus freak, and emo girl” took me out

"Azula, Circus freak and emo girl" You did not need to make me chuckle on a sad video

This is also the only episode in the whole show that shows blood. Making it truly the darkest and most grim of the series

5:02 You're still full of love, but fear has moved where trust should be. I can't relate more to this phrase as a mid-20 adult in 2024. It seems we are all appa in this moment.

You can feel the rage and pain in Anng. Ok rewatches I always look forward to Appa's days

Im not crying, youre crying. 😭😭😭😭

4:30 crazy insults

This is an excellent video about one of the most heartbreaking episodes of one of the best shows I've ever seen. Avatar: The Last Airbender knew how to characterize one-off characters, and even animals very well. You'd think there wouldn't be much to talk about given that Appa can't speak. However, we don't need him to actually talk. He speaks to us through his actions. Like you said, when you watch this episode, you know exactly why Aang was so upset.

Wonderful message with a calming voice. Thank you for your hard work and keep doing what you love and never lose hope. Be Appa!

These type of shows gave the best life lessons. Dbz, avatar etc were so inspiring so many lessons just from a show.

I’m going through a lot atm. And earlier I happened to say “i give up. I’m so tired.” And this by accident came up and when you said those words to “never give up”. Ty you probably saved a life.

Was going through tough time ,this video popped up and while watching busted into tears & restored my hope .....Thanks dallaskid..do keep bringing such amazing videos....

man i dunno why i click this vdeo , i am going through a hardtime my final exam are near i have prepd well till now bt in this last time , i feel so lonely cuz i dont have many frnds , even the frnds i used to talk are not in touch . and also my dad fallen sick now so inspite of taking him care i couldnt study for 3 full days and in last 2 years now only am able to take my nofap this far (2 weeks) , so due all this reason i was depressed and getting biased to relapse or just to get a sneak of p*** shits but this video eventually gave me hope ! especially ur last words , after the storm the days will be good ! thankyou man

This episode really showcases the greatness of this show. The suffering of Appa really made me weight in such strong emotions, it reminds me of my dog. There's a reason some would really consider such wrath when someone messes with their pets. I can't imagine my dog going through pain, I still remember a day when we left my first dog (spoiled and yet loved greatly)at a friends house since we were going out of town. I can vividly remember how crazy he was going in their garage, and it wasn't until later on that I realized he might had thought we were abandoning him.. when we went to pick him up he hesitated at first, but then he just went crazy. There's such a strong advocacy for people to have pet dogs, so many beautiful memories with them. Appa and Aang had such intimate relationship that they were bonded for life.

Appa is my favorite character and I saw him as such from the start. He’s obviously intelligent and has a sense of humor too! Appa’s Lost Days is my favorite episode.

This is one of the most beautiful yt videos ever, covering one of the most touching topics ever, it made me tear up

Thanks, I'm crying by the words you said near the end👍

This episode is the only one that made me bawl

Beautiful essay and commenrary!! Thank you for sharing. Not only did I needed this today but also I always thought this episode to be one of the best episodes since we can learn so much throughout it. As a companion to a dog I can truly sympathize on a deep level. Loved this!!

You know appa also means dad is some languages. So I’m wondering if it was done on purpose because he was with aang in the toughest times and protect him.

Good job with this video bro. Very emotionally driven.

I used to watch avatar as a kid, now I'm a grown man, but still cry watching this episode..

Beautiful video man and beautiful message

I like how the people who made a show did not only show the bad things in the circus but also showed that animals in captivity do not know how to survive in the wild and do not know how do you find food or protect yourself from predators

☺️🙏Although I'm late to the show, I wanted to express my gratitude for you uploading this & establishing that IRL relevance about hope. I can definitely attest to that philosophy & how maintaining that hope has placed me in a better position in life!☺️🙏

Thank you. I needed to hear all these things you said. I will be like appa or, like you... not only you gained a sub but also my gratitude. Thanks man!

"Be like Appa." That's something I NEVER thought I'd read 😅 I'm impressed that you just pulled such depth from one episode of Avatar. It shows the genius of that series, and your ability to inspire competently from a simple premise. You have earned a new subscriber. 😎👍🏾

This episode has always made me cry

Dude you are hella underrated, I loved this video man

Best video i've seen all day... Thank you brother

One of the best episodes of the series. This video is a masterpiece. Great work!

Bro this hits me, keep up the good work 🥲🥲

i will never not cry whenever i watch “appa’s lost days” even on this video, i’m sobbing so much

Thanks for the video and for the great message! Which is very much needed right now, let's all try to be like Appa p.s thanks for making us cry

You got this KZfaq thing on lock imma even subscribe for all you said at the end 🗣️🔥

This was so sad and beautiful. I skipped this when I was younger, and watched it for the first time 2 years ago. There were a lot of tears involved 😭

“As Azula *Circus freak and emo girl* “ had me dying

Almost cry seening this beautiful video. Congrats 🎉

genuinely got sad and worried watching this episode. Liked and subscribed amazing video man

This reminded me about all these episode and moments in the show that I can't rewatch without crying.. - Appa's Lost Days (animal suffering) - Tales of Ba Sing Se (little soldier boy) - Sozin's Comet P2 (Iroh and Zuko reunite)

5:42 THIS IS WHY ZUKO IS ON TOP

:( this made me cry so much, seeing everything he went through being alone. Appa was the sweetest & cutest. So glad they ended up finding each other again.🖤

This is probably the saddest episode in the avatar last air bender

I wish you all the best for this KZfaq channel

I needed this video, thanks

This ia a great reminder to all of us that we should never give up even in our toughest times and battles

Thank you for making this video Man 🫡

Now I really want to rewatch ATLA but I don’t think I can handle it. I’ve lost a lot of pets in the past few months. The new Pokémon anime made me cry

Great video, keep going, you'll go far!

I hope Netflix includes this in the next season.

Excellent vid bro keep making videos

Thank you bro, i subscribed bcuz of this vid. Very inspiring 😊

that video is just perfect . don't give up

When this episode aired during the shows original run it made me cry (and still does) about my cat Tiff, who got to live to age 26. He died from leg tumor, and we didn't get along at first, but thankfully at the end of his life we did bond.

This made me tear up ❤️

Thank you for this

I hope your channel grows. Stay hopeful.

It reminds me of my grandmother's lost dog. He and I had a real bond and I miss him so much. I hope that wherever he is he remains full of love and hopeful like Appa

I just think it's crazy that the sand benders were able to capture this giant monster that was believed to be extinct, using the equipment they just so happened to be carrying. That's like if a group of guys were driving jeeps around the Sahara and both found and captured a live Tyrannosaurus Rex.

You made me cry 😢

I really beautiful messeg it really hit me to the core Ty

I really like the thumbnail you made for this

Hey. Good video just subscribed and wish you the best as your channel grows.

yoooo keep on doing what u doing bro subbed and looking forward for more!

I remember how sad i was when watching these episodes and how happy i was when they reunited

"Circus freak and emo girl"💀

"Wherever you are in life, don't lose hope." Just like Appa. Appa, you're our hero. Always and forever. 🥹❤️

Great video! Keep it up!

Zuko alone also hit hard but this episode made my cry

Earned my sub for sure

Great video. You should focus more on this kinda content

Damn what a strong video I've seen so far!

This episode as well as the tales of ba sing se always make me cry like a baby
