"Congratulations to Breakthrough Animation on their 5th anniversary," said Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President of Programming, Jetix Europe. "We always enjoy working with the entire Breakthrough team. They are a fresh, fun studio who creates standout characters.

Since its inception, Breakthrough Animation has soared to the forefront of the entertainment industry with such highly acclaimed properties as "Atomic Betty," "Captain Flamingo" and "Miss BG," among others. The company has remained an industry leader because of its commitment to meeting the demands of global buyers and international audiences. Last year, Breakthrough Animation created cutting-edge, multi-platform vignettes for its three most popular series. As a result, "Atomic Betty" and "Captain Flamingo" have been sold in over 100 countries. "Miss BG's" 104 x 11 minute episodes and 44 minutes of multiplatform content have just been licensed to Qubo in the U.S. Breakthrough Animation's track record for developing noteworthy animated television programs has given them a foundation for delving into the world of adult animation with "Producing Emily" and "Foolz in the Hood." The company has received a number of notable honors, including several Gemini nominations, a BAFTA nomination, The Actra Award and The New York Television Film Festival Award.
Breakthrough Animation is currently developing "My Big Big Friend" as a co-production with 2D Lab in Brazil. The company is also focusing on primetime adult animation with a number of programs in development; "Foolz N The Hood," "The Orphanage" (CBC) and "Producing Emily" (Canwest Global)
