Overview
Atomic Betty first aired as its 88-minute made-for-TV animated film on Teletoon in Canada and Cartoon Network in the U.S. by 2002, which marks this show's pilot episode. This film was produced by Phil Roman Entertainment and the Canadian animation company Atomic Cartoons, and was directly released to VHS and DVD in North America by Warner Home Video in 2002. Teletoon and Cartoon Network have offered to pick up the franchise in 2004, and this film was entirely replaced with a television series premiere.
The first season consists of 26 episodes. This show is one of an increasing number of cartoons made using Macromedia Flash and has a distinct smoothness to the animation that separates it from traditional cel animation; ironically, despite that there is considerable artistic influence from classic cel animation such as old Hanna-Barbera cartoons like The Jetsons.
Each episode of Atomic Betty is split into two fifteen-minute shorts. The second season premiere and finale are both full half-hour episodes.
In each episode, a crisis occurs somewhere in the galaxy, while Betty enjoys some friendly activity with her friends. Invariably, her bracelet begins beeping, and she runs off alone to save the galaxy. Accompanied by her crew, Betty manages to defeat the villains before returning home.
There has also been a full-hour Christmas special, titled Atomic Betty: The No-L 9.
Characters
With the exception of the show's eyonymous character and the particular story involved, most of the characters encountered in the series are exclusive to either of the two major settings in the show. The show is largely centred around Betty and her friends in segments taking place on Earth, while Betty and her crew are the major focus of the space setting.
About herself, Atomic Betty
- Elizabeth "Betty" Barrett/Atomic Betty is a popular but apparently somewhat flaky middle schooler from Moose Jaw Heights (a fictional borough of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) who has eclectic interests, from skateboarding to writing her own songs, and also, learning to play both the guitar and keyboards. Betty has absent-minded parents, and a secret life as a Galactic Guardian, an enforcer of law and order across the galaxy. Betty is one of the best at what she does, and despite her age commands considerable respect. While she seems to be famous throughout the galaxy, her home planet (Earth) is a closely guarded secret from all but a few within the galaxy's power structure. Betty wears a bracelet that allows Admiral DeGill to contact her at any time (it may also be the item she uses to transform as well) and is known to be a serious carnivore.
Her family
- Mr. Barrett, Betty's Father is a slightly absent-minded traveling salesman, but he is a devoted father when he's around.
- Mrs. Barrett, Betty's Mother is a stereotypical hairdresser, with a poufed blonde ponytail and tacky animal-print clothes. Where her father is absent-minded, her mother is simply oblivious, often paying more attention to her long-suffering cat Purrsy than her daughter.
- Betty's Granny is a lively older woman with a love of clog dancing and numerous other talents. She is a retired Galactic Guardian, a fact that Betty discovered when she found a signal bracelet identical to her own in her granny's attic. It is unknown whether Betty's father is in on the secret.
- Betty's Grandpa was lost while trying to discover sounds on a distant planet, but was found on The No-L 9, a collection of singing planets in "Atomic Betty: The No-L 9" (christmas special).
- Sir Purrsifus a.k.a. Purrsy is Betty's mother's spoiled, surly cat. Purrsy has accidentally accompanied Betty on one of her missions, but being a cat has not said anything about it. He tends to cause trouble, but the trouble often backfires on him.
School
- Noah Parker is Betty's best friend. Although Noah thinks of Betty as being somewhat flaky, he is secretly in love with her, yet is unable to express his feelings. He is unaware of Betty being a Galactic Guardian, and often thinks that Betty being frequently missing is due to coincidence.
- Penelope Lang is Betty's rival, who thinks of herself as the most popular prima donna at her school. She is often using her popularity or wealth to undermine Betty's social standing, a plan that inevitably backfires. She was a filthy rich-and-spoiled rotten brat, just like Claire Brewster in the animated series Beetlejuice.
- Paloma is introduced in the second season as a new transfer student who Betty quickly befriends. However, Paloma hides a secret that is only revealed at the end of the second season.
Galactic Guardian organization
- Admiral DeGill is a goldfish with a crew cut who is Commander in Chief of Galactic Guardian and Planet Protecors Batallion 147. He is Betty's commanding officer, who dispatches Betty on her various missions.
- Sparky is the slightly hyperactive alien pilot of Atomic Betty's ship with an immense appetite (and a talent for using his four cow-like stomachs for storage). While a bit ditzy and accident-prone, he forms one third of a very reliable team.
- Robot X-5 is the third member of Betty's crew. Although an antiquated robot by Galactic standards, X-5 remains walking database on everything important to a Galactic Guardian. He and Sparky have a contentious but occasionally respectful working relationship.
- Spindly Tam Kanushu was apparently Betty's martial arts trainer. He is an elderly alien martial arts expert.
- Atomic Roger is another Galactic Guardian, apparently human, although clearly not from Earth, who is Betty's colleague and occasional rival. He is the twin brother to the villain Atomic Dodger.
Villains
- Maximus I.Q. is a bumbling supervillain, catlike in appearance and somewhat regal (or at least believes himself so) in bearing. Though bumbling, he represents enough of a danger that he is Betty's most frequent nemesis. He is obsessed with defeating Betty and discovering her home planet, and has come very close on several occasions (including once building a temporary base near Jupiter). Despite not knowing her origins, Maximus has created clones of Betty from hair samples taken in combat. Maximus' father is also a criminal, though more of a robber and thug than a supervillain.
- Minimus P.U., P.U. for "portable underling", is Maximus' hapless, monkey-like, literally two-faced sidekick -- one face is reluctantly sycophantic, while the other is sarcastic and bitter at Maximus' constant disrespect.
- Iciclia is a character reminiscent of the Witch Queen from Disney's 1937 animated film version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; her trademark attacks are ice-based. She was once dependent on montegoberries to keep her youth, but she seems to have eliminated this dependency somehow.
- Infantor is a foul-tempered infant (or perhaps an adult or adolescent trapped in an infant's body) who enjoys playing games with his enemies. He once sucked Betty and her crew into a portal leading them to a virtual reality game to fight for their lives according to his rules.

Trivia and facts

- And one is capable of stretching her body in a manner similar to Mr. Fantastic.
- As of yet, an invisible Betty clone (who would make herself invisible and create force fields like the Invisible Woman) has yet to appear.
