- Nickelodeon did not give the film any nominations at the 2011 Kids Choice Awards, despite the fact that 'Airbender' was a Nickeloden Movies motion picture.
- Dev Patel submitted a tape to the studio, auditioning for the part of Zuko. This was before he had achieved international success with Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
- Sokka's stone-tipped spear, the knife in his belt, and a trident harpoon seen briefly in his tent, were all made by Barry Howe of Lethal Lithics in Wisconsin, USA. Not made of plastic or rubber, these are actually very dangerous weapons.
- Jackson Rathbone originally auditioned for the part of Prince Zuko.
- The first Nickelodeon movie based on a Nicktoon to ever be nominated for a Razzie award, no others have been nominated possibly due to them being animated and it's rare for animated films to be nominated for Razzies.
