Girl power action, intergalactic adventures and out-of-this-world animation will delight viewers of all ages when Warner Home Video (WHV) releases "Atomic Betty Volume 1: Betty, Set, Go!" and "Atomic Betty Volume 2: Betty to the Rescue!" onto DVD this fall.

Both volumes will feature eight 11-minute episodes and will be available in stores Tuesday, October 18. Each volume will retail for $19.97 (SRP).

"Atomic Betty" follows the adventures of Betty, a little girl with a big secret. To her friends and family, she's 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." While the citizens of Earth carry on with their every day lives, Atomic Betty zips across the galaxy on daring and valiant missions, from saving a race of space monkeys from a giant caterpillar invasion to rescuing a kidnapped ambassador from a ruthless king. She's a hero to the universe, but on her home planet Earth, Betty's just one of the gang. But that's the way she likes it -- if her Mom and Dad knew she was out zooming through the cosmos without a license, she'd be grounded for sure!

"We are thrilled to bring this wonderful series to DVD. Atomic Betty is a remarkable, lovable, character that girls can relate to and look up to. She may lead a double life as an intergalactic superhero yet she's believable. Here on Earth, she has to deal with problems at home and at school, just like everybody else does," commented Dorinda Marticorena, WHV Vice President, Kid and Sports Marketing. She added, "'Atomic Betty' is a unique and original series with superb writing and animation. It is destined to become a classic girl-power property and we are delighted to be associated with it."

Kevin Gillis, Executive Producer at Breakthrough Films and Television stated, "We are thrilled that Atomic Betty has found a great home at Warner Home Video, a company whose roots are an inspiration to the whole animation industry."

"Atomic Betty Volume 1: Betty, Set, Go!" and "Atomic Betty Volume 2: Betty to the Rescue!" each include 88 minutes of programming and out-of-this world extra content including a music video by Tajja Isen (the voice of Atomic Betty) and an animated interview with the villains, Maximus and Minimus.
