Description on the back cover:
“FROM SCHOOL KID TO GALACTIC GUARDIAN IN SECONDS!
To the universe at large, she’s ‘Atomic Betty, Galactic Guardian and Defender of the Cosmos’! But here on Earth, she’s just one of the gang - and that’s just how she likes it. Sure, it’s not easy defending the galaxy when you’ve got tests to take and homework to do, but lucky for us when duty calls, she’s always the first to answer. From the blackboards of Moosejaw Junior High to the bridge of her Hyper-Galactic Starcruiser, follow Betty through eight totally awesome action-packed episodes as she zips across the solar system on a daring mission to rid the universe of evil!”
Opening:
1.) FBI warning (2004-12)
2.) Warner Bros. Home Video logo
3.) Atomic Betty DVD promo (advertising both the very same DVD featured in this video, and the second volume release of the series)
4.) Main menu
Episodes included on the disc (note that all of these are actually half-episodes, as they originally aired 11-minute segments bundled with other 11-minute segments that are not included on this DVD; thus, the disc’s contents are enough to fill up four full-length installments of the series):
1.) “Toxic Talent”
2.) “Spindly Tom Kanushu”
3.) “Atomic Roger”
4.) “Furball for the Sneeze”
5.) “Really Big Game”
6.) “But the Cat Came Back”
7.) “The Doppelganger” (AKA “Doppelgangers R Us”)
8.) “The Incredible Shrinking Betty”
CLOSING:
1.) Warner Bros. blue screen copyright warning (the same one that’s been used on all of WB’s DVDs ever since they started releasing content on the format in 1997)
2.) DVD menu walkthrough
3.) Music video: “Atomic Betty: Toughest Chick in the Alien World (Extended Theme Song)” by Tajja Isen (the voice of Betty)
4.) Trollz (the DiC cartoon) DVD commercial
5.) Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Volume 1 - Let’s Go! DVD promo (oddly, the concurrently-released Volume 2 - Rock Forever! isn’t featured in this promo - maybe its release was a last-minute decision?)
6.) American Girl: Felicity doll and DVD ad
We interrupt your regularly scheduled chronological trip down Disney Channel DVD release lane to bring you a special memorial video!
In case you didn’t already know this, Teletoon, the network that used to be Canada’s main home for animation, is shutting down on March 27, 2023. Replacing its spot on Canadian cable packages is the Canadian version of Cartoon Network that launched in 2012, with the empty spots on those cable boxes’ guides caused by CN Canada taking over Teletoon being filled up by a new Canadian version of Cartoon Network’s sibling channel Boomerang. Though Teletoon was seemingly destined to have this fate for nearly five years now, that won’t take away the memories people had with their uniquely offbeat and colorful original programming back when the network had them. Though I never lived in Canada myself, I have plenty of fond memories watching Teletoon’s Original Shows thanks to their American broadcasts on Kids’ WB!, Cartoon Network, The Hub (now Discovery Family), and Qubo. As my way of saying farewell to the network, I’ve decided to upload the entire contents of a DVD that I own featuring one of Teletoon’s most iconic original programs, with the specific series being the one revolving around a seemingly average teen who is actually an intergalactic hero!
Here in the United States, Atomic Betty originally aired on Cartoon Network from 2004-06, and smack dab in the middle of that run, Warner Bros. Home Video (CN’s home media distributor) released two single-disc volume DVD releases of Atomic Betty that contained eight 11-minute episodes (equivalent to four half-hour installments of the series) each. Interestingly, despite the mention of Cartoon Network’s website in the Legal Information screen hidden within the “Set-Up” menu on this disc, Warner’s two Atomic Betty DVDs were completely absent of the Cartoon Network branding anywhere on the packaging, instead opting to only mention the show’s production companies (Atomic Cartoons, M6, and Breakthrough Television) and original network in its originating country (Teletoon, of course!). This is only worth bringing up because the one and only other DVD that Warner released of a Cartoon Network series that wasn’t made by a studio owned by WB (fellow Teletoon icon Total Drama) DID have the CN logo on the packaging and discs. Warner was planning to release two additional volume DVDs of Atomic Betty in March 2006, but sadly, those titles were cancelled, most likely because the series was completely removed from Cartoon Network’s schedule a month earlier, before the show’s third and final season could premiere there (that season was eventually dumped onto The Hub).
DISCLAIMER: This video is NOT made specifically for kids, but for EVERYBODY.
