Avatar: The Last Airbender, is a cartoon show sequenced in episodes, created by Nickelodeon. Although it stars a group of kids saving the world, it's attracted many fans even though the plot of kids saving the world is extremely overdone.
The cartoon series is made by American cartoonists, despite the Japanese Anime touch.
The story is an epic adventure in which a group of humans with the ability to bend the individual substances of the Earth travel around the world in an effort to teach the Avatar how to manipulate them. These substances are Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The Avatar is a spiritual being reincarnated repetitively from body to body. It exists to aid humans in their suffering and to bring tranquility to the Earth.
The Avatar in this story is a young 12-year old boy named Aang, who comes from the Air Temples of the Air Nomads. He runs away when he finds out that he's the Avatar and coincidentally escapes in time before Firelord Sozin (king of the Fire Nation) torches the temples with a comet in an effort to destroy Aang, who would supposedly end his attempts to conquer the Earth Kingdom.
When Aang runs away on his pet sky bison, he falls into the ocean due to a storm. Overpowered by the churning waves, he sinks below the water and the Avatar state (a condition in which the Avatar combines all his/her past experience with the experience of the other Avatars into one, becoming stronger than before) caused the water to freeze, preserving him in ice.

A hundred years later, two kids called Katara and Sokka (of the Southern Water Tribe) set out on a fishing expedition and discover Aang in the iceberg. Katara being a waterbender, causes the ice to melt and Aang is freed from his icy prison. Then, the two follow him around the world on his sky bison Appa in an effort to teach him how to master the elements. Along the way they recruit Toph Beifong, a skilled earthbender; Zuko, the son of the current Firelord Ozai; and Suki, a skilled warrior who soon becomes Sokka's girlfriend.
Aang learns how to control the elements from these teachers and also finds out how to master the Avatar state and to remove people's bending.
Aang confronts the Firelord at last, and eventually traps him in the embrace of the Earth. Then, he removes the Firelord's ability to firebend, refusing to kill him because of what he learned from the monks he grew up with in the Air Temples. Then Ozai is sent to jail for the rest of his life.
