Childish dialogue has nothing to do with it, because there exist childish anime series. So, it's not the words that come out. It's how their mouths were moving and the postures they make. It tried to emulate similar movements to Japanese animation, but it simply falls short.
In terms of scenery? Acceptable.
Coloring? Also acceptable.
Now, if I were to more fairly compare Avatar, the comparison would have to come from somewhat earlier series. For you see, I just watched a YouTube compilation on Avatar's "funny moments" vs just 5-10 seconds on Saki: Achiga. In terms of animation overall, Achiga has much smoother transition effects. All I know is: something was throwing me off with Avatar.
Putting that aside, I'd like to see how American animators would deal with a drama series -- of similar length that we're accustomed to seeing (12-13 episodes, perhaps). We already know that American writers are more than capable of writing a stretched out drama. Can the animators (incl whole production team) do the same thing?
