Atomic Betty is a Canadian-French animated television series produced by Atomic Cartoons, Breakthrough Films & Television, and Tele Images Kids. Additional funding for production is provided by Teletoon in Canada and M6 and Télétoon in France. It currently airs on CITV. The series has once again begun airing on U.S. TV on The Hub on October 10, 2010; it previously aired on Cartoon Network from September 2004 through December 2005. In the U.S, it is (unofficially) a Cartoon Cartoon for Cartoon Network. The series' last episode aired in January 29, 2008 on the Canadian channel Teletoon.
A sequel series titled Atomic Betty Redux was planned for production, which would havec shown Atomic Betty as a much taller teenager or adult and an even stronger and more powerful superheroine/Galactic Guardian than ever before since the original series, but it was ultimatley rejected in favor of a revival of the original format which is planned for 2014
Production edit:
Atomic Cartoons, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, writes and produces the animation for the series using Adobe Flash. Tele Images Kids produces animation and voice direction for the French language version of the series. Breakthrough Films & Television, through its distribution subsidiary, handles worldwide distribution outside of Canada, except Spain, Portugal and Andorra.Atomic Betty premiered on Teletoon in Canada on Monday September 6, 2004, and on Cartoon Network in the United States on Friday September 17, 2004. It aired on qubo on September 7, 2007 to present. After its cancellation in 2005 (Cartoon Network), the series premiered on The Hub on Sunday October 10, 2010.
Three seasons of the series have been produced to date, totaling 78 half-hour or 156 quarter-hour episodes, depending on the format shown in each market. There is also a one-hour Christmas special titled Atomic Betty: The No-L 9.
Story edit:
Betty Barrett is a typical adolescent who enjoys school, science-fiction movies and singing in her band, living in Moose Jaw Heights (a fictional suburb of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan). Unknown to most of her friends and family, however, she is also a Galactic Guardian, dedicated to interstellar peacekeeping and law enforcement. As Atomic Betty, assisted by her pilot Sparky, and a robot named X-5, she confronts the evil overlord Maximus I.Q. (including Minimus) and other intergalactic supervillains. Despite being rather unassuming on Earth, Atomic Betty is a superstar throughout the galaxy and even has her own fan club of loyal followers.
In each episode, a crisis occurs somewhere in the galaxy, usually while Betty enjoys some activity with her friends. Invariably, her bracelet begins beeping, and she runs off alone to save the galaxy in her light pink-and-white superpowered Galactic Guardian battle suit, which grants her a wide variety of weapons, gadgets and special abilities. Accompanied by her crew, Betty manages to defeat the villains before returning home and explaining her absence.
