Atomic Betty (known as Atomic Betty: Mission Earth[2] for the third season) is a Canadian-French animated science fantasy television series[3] produced by Atomic Cartoons, Breakthrough Films & Television, 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.
On the Canadian channel Teletoon, the series originally aired on August 29, 2004[4] as a preview, while its last episode aired on August 4, 2008.[5]
Production
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.[6]
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
Betty Barrett is a typical 12-year-old adolescent who enjoys school, daydreaming, science-fiction movies and singing in her band, living in Moose Jaw Heights (a fictional suburb of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan).[7][8] However, Betty finds out she's an alien. 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 pretty light pink-and-white superpowered Galactic Guardian battle suit, which grants her a wide variety of weapons, gadgets and magical abilities. Accompanied by her crew, Betty manages to defeat the villains before returning home and explaining her absence.

Critics gave the game moderately positive or below average reviews. Aaron Roberts of Nintendojo said "Basically, Atomic Betty is a better-than-average game for kids, and one that will keep them on their mental toes, to boot".[12] Nintendo World Report's Ben Kosmina said "The game is fun" but added "it's not going to last you a long period of time",[13] after completing the game within 2 hours, he also stated it has "absolutely no replay value".[13] GameZone's Michael Lafferty stated "this is obviously a game targeting younger players and in that regard it succeeds in providing an entertaining, though short-lived, experience".[14]
