Toruk Show – an Ancient Legend of Pandora

However, in the show written and directed by Michel Lemieux, the adventures of the heroes in the mysterious world take place long before people appear on this planet. The dwellers of Pandora find out that the sacred Soul Tree is threatened by a natural disaster, and that means that all the inhabitants of the planet may die too. They can be saved by Toruk only, so this mysterious orange creature has to be found to save the world from a terrible tragedy.

Two young men named Ralu and Entu fearlessly decide to undertake the rescue of their native land. Having learned that Toruk can help them to save the Soul Tree, they and their newly found girlfriend Ts'yal set off on a dangerous journey along the tops of the Soaring Mountains to find the red-orange predator, the ruler of Pandora’s heaven. The prophecy comes true when a pure soul becomes the leader of all clans, rides out Toruk for the first time and saves the world of Na'vis from perishing.
