Cartoon Network’s hit animated series about a pint-sized galactic defender will make its DVD debut on October 18 with the launch of Atomic Betty Volume 1: Betty, Set, Go! and Atomic Betty Volume 2: Betty to the Rescue!
A co-production of Breakthrough Animation, Atomic Cartoons and Teleimages Kids, Atomic Betty employs Flash animation and some CG to chronicle the exploits of an extraordinary little girl from the Canadian town of Moosejaw Heights. To her friends and family, Betty is the sweet and brainy girl next door. But when the galaxy beckons, she sheds her humdrum persona and becomes Atomic Betty, Galactic Guardian and Defender of the Cosmos. The property was conceived by Atomic Cartoons principals Trevor Bentley, Mauro Casalese, Rob Davies and Olaf Miller.
Atomic Betty debuted on Cartoon Network in the fall of 2004 and now airs in more than 100 countries. The show consistently ranks number one in its time period, prompting Cartoon Network to commit to 52 episodes.
Both DVD volumes will feature eight 11-minute episodes and bonus features including a music video by Tajja Isen (the voice of Atomic Betty) and an animated interview with villains Maximus and Minimus. Each release will retail for the suggested price of $19.97. For more information on this and other Warner Home Video titles, go to www.whvdirect.com.
