Don't make me use my moon powers on you! —Princess Yue

Chibi Avatar is a three-episode series of shorts on based on the Animated Series Avatar: The Last Airbender that were released on the Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 DVD (season 3 in PAL regions).

This short series uses a Chibi art style and soft pastel colors to tell funny, blatantly non-Canon stories about the series' characters, one of which was set in a strange elementary school AU. The characters are depicted as much younger than their canonical incarnations and interacting in light, improbable ways.

More information, including plot summaries of the three episodes, can be found on the relevant page of the Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki.

Tropes used in Chibi Avatar include:

• Berserk Button: Don't call Zuko tiny. Or cute.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Yue.

• Blinding Bangs: Toph
• Broken Aesop: Iroh gives one. "Now I hope that you can see that each element has its own strengths and weaknesses. But fire is the best!"

Katara: Tiny Zuko! He looks so cute! Zuko: I AM NEITHER CUTE NOR TINY! Iroh: You are pretty cute, my tiny nephew. Zuko: I'LL SHOW YOU TINY!

• Mythology Gag: Aang becomes ash and blows away similar to Gyatso in Aang's nightmare from "The Storm."
• Naked People Are Funny: Sokka in the "Swamp-Skiing" short, complete with Scenery Censor.
• Pinball Gag: Toph uses earthbending to make Sokka a living pinball.
