Betty Atómica

You know, I was shocked, surprised, and flabbergasted by the negativity I had heard on the Internet. I have watched (and taped) this show, and frankly, I find this series awesome! Also, this show is on my "favorite TV series" list. This series is an awesome space adventure for girls, young and old.

I found each episode to be top-notch, full of action, adventure, and humor too. I have a few favorites, even though it will be hard to remember which episodes I like. I really love Betty. She is totally cool, yet very sweet. You know something? There are now three Bettys in my favorite TV shows or cartoons: Betty Boop, Betty Rubble from The Flintstones, and now Atomic Betty, Galactic Guardian, and Defender of the Cosmos!

So overall, I love this series despite the negativity.

I may be biased as I love animation, and I'd see anything animated regardless if it looks bad or not. Atomic Betty is a decent if unexceptional show, an example that I like but don't love. I do agree about the story lines, interesting enough they are but they don't hold much surprises and if they were 30 minutes instead of 15 they would have had less of a rushed feel. Although I like most of the characters, I've never liked Noah, finding him dumb and with a wooden nature that I find annoying. However, I do like the generally smooth quality of the animation, the cool action and the catchy theme song. The writing has moments of blandness but is humorous and charming mostly. Aside from Noah, the characters I do like, with Betty cute, Sparky adding a lot and the villains unique and entertaining particularly with Maximus. The voice acting is done with enthusiasm. All in all, a decent if slightly bland show that does deserve a chance. 7/10 Bethany Cox

In Teen Titans they tell the story of the different titans in different episodes. Like they explained Starfire's heritage in Betrothed. That's probably what they'll do with Atomic Betty.

Thoughts on Atomic Betty

The theme song is what drew me in. I was channel surfing and I heard the theme song. I watched it and thought it was pretty good. The show has a lot of humor. Maximus was the silliest super villain cat i have ever seen, and Sparky, one of Betty's crew mates, just added on to it. But like Onomatopoeia626, I think the show should be in 30 minute intervals not 15

I give this show 7/10

This Canadian co-production manages to avoid the great pitfalls of kiddie super-spy shows, which are repetition and formulaic structure. The conquest schemes of the various (rather silly) super-villains are usually good enough to keep disbelief suspended, and the means by which Betty and company manage to thwart them are for the most part inventive and unexpected. It entertains without insulting its audience's intelligence.

The characters are cute without being excessively cloying and there are laughs thrown in, but everything is kept in suitable taste for pre-teen audiences. The production is not high budget by an means, but the sci-fi look and action animation are pretty good despite this.

I found this show to be a pleasant surprise and wound up watching it fairly often when I happened to catch it. Worth a look.

Atomic Betty was produced by an awesome crew that I had the pleasure of joining at Atomic Cartoons. I worked as IT manager and Final Cut Pro editor for the first season and I had a blast. It was a roller coaster to keep pace with the raw creativity that poured out of the artists. One minute the hard drives would fill up with another hundred gigs and I'd have to shovel some more space into the artistic boiler. Next minute I'd realize there was another hundred gigs of art to edit. The finished product is something we were all very proud of.

Atomic Betty is a show I wish I could watch as a child again, but even as an adult working on it, sometimes editing the same scenes over and over again, I never got tired of it. I watched the tapes as they were laid not only to ensure there were no errors but also because the action and laughs kept me hooked all the way through.

Thanks to everyone who I worked with on Atomic Betty, and thanks to everyone who watches it today.
