Atomic Betty (known as Atomic Betty: Mission Earth for the third season) is a Canadian-French flash animated science fantasy television series produced by Atomic Cartoons, Breakthrough Entertainment, and Tele Images Kids. Additional funding for production is provided by Teletoon in Canada and M6 (season 1–2) and Télétoon+ (season 3) in France.
In Canada, the series originally aired from 2004 to 2008 on Teletoon. In the United States, the series aired on Cartoon Network from 2004 to 2006, as part of their Miguzi programming block, and then on the Hub Network (now Discovery Family) from 2010 to 2011, alongside its third season.
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.
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.
Betty Barrett is a typical 12-year-old preadolescent girl who enjoys school, daydreaming about living in outer space, science-fiction movies and singing in her band, living in Moose Jaw Heights (a fictional suburb of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan). Until, Betty finds out that she is actually an alien. Unknown to most of her friends and family, however, she is also a member of the Galactic Guardians, an elite team 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. and his lackey Minimus, as well as 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.
