Breakthrough Entertainment is a Canadian production company founded in 1986 by Peter Williamson and Ira Levy. Based in Toronto, they have produced a wide variety of TV shows from primetime comedies and dramas to documentaries to kids' cartoons. The last category is probably the one they are best known for outside Canada, having been behind such series as ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' and ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.

In 2018, Creator/NineStoryMediaGroup acquired Breakthrough Entertainment's kids and family library and development slate. This means most of Breakthrough's animated series now belong to 9 Story (the primary exception is ''Atomic Betty'', which was instead acquired by ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' creator Kevin Gillis, who had worked as a producer on many of Breakthrough's cartoons), but Breakthrough still does own a couple that are aimed at adults, such as ''WesternAnimation/CrashCanyon'', ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'', and ''WesternAnimation/WhatItsLikeBeingAlone''.

In early 2023, Breakthrough (and its remaining library) was acquired by Shadow Pines Studios, with employees of the former company moving to the latter.

This old Breakthrough ad depicts the show under a Working Title. While the Wikipedia pages does not list its production company, nor does the credits, this apparently suggests Breakthrough produced the show.
