Canada-based Breakthrough Animation–the toon production arm of Breakthrough Films & Television–will be making a splash at NATPE, as it unveils the three newbies, Captain Flamingo, Rocket Rodents and Miss BG. The premiere of these animated shows follows the success of Breakthrough’s galactic guardian hit Atomic Betty, whose second season will also be presented in Las Vegas next week.
Captain Flamingo delivers the life and times of Milo Howell, who transforms from an ordinary boy to a justice-protecting flamingo when he wears his terry-cloth cape. Girl-next-door Lizbeth has a serious crush on our beaked hero, and she secretly helps him save the day for kids everywhere.
A vermin motley crew of five take center-stage in Rocket Rodents when they accidentally acquire a starship that no one knows how to fly while they are en route to an off-world penal colony.
Breakthrough hopes its third new offering, Miss BG (BG stands for Big Girl), will leave a big impression on audiences. The show follows the story of a young girl who advises her brother George about the ways of the world, because she is much wiser than her years (think eight going on 20)!
All three shows are being offered in packages of 26 half-hour episodes. For more info, visit www.breakthroughfilms.com.
