oh man, the NASCAR Racers show? I haven't heard anything about that show in over a decade or more! What a hit of nostalgia! I still remember parts of the cool intro song, and only 2 episodes. One where the track gets a virus or something and all the obstacles and such get put up to max difficulty and nobody can shut down the computer that controls it, and another episode where they had to race through a snowy forest and a few of the characters got lost in a night blizzard and they had to go find them. Anyone else remember that show?

[@INDIEVO1D]

As a quick reminder 1 thing that wasn’t mentioned that the power rangers franchise was owned by Disney up until power rangers RPM not SPD. The rights were then sold back to Saban due to the success of marvel at Disney. The show then ran at Nickelodeon in 2011 until 2021. In 2018 the franchise had its final season ran by the saban as it was bought by Hasbro. Ever since then the show has had 3 seasons under the hasbro name. Power rangers beast morphers and power rangers Dino fury. The 2nd and 3rd season power rangers cosmic fury is a 3rd season to Dino fury and is aired exclusively on Netflix. Hasbro now wants to reboot the entire series so it can use all American footage instead of Japan super sentai footage that was being used previously. Regardless the franchise has been everywhere and despite it going through ownership hell. It’s still going strong.

Actually, Haim Saban created Saban Brands in 2010 to buy back Power Rangers and a few shows related to it from Disney and also bought back Digimon in 2012, but Saban Brands would be closed in 2018 after they sold Power Rangers and several of it’s other properties to Hasbro. The last series that was being produced by Saban before shutting down was Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, which was a collaboration with toy company Funrise. Overall, I was a fan of Saban stuff back in my childhood, mostly Power Rangers and Digimon, but their still fun to watch and I like their twirly-doo logo, but it does suck to hear about the company’s history of poor decisions and sometimes terrible treatment towards the some of the people that worked for them.

A few mistakes and omissions in this. Of note being Shuki Levy marrying and Abusing an actress from VR Troopers (in an interview with RVT she revealed she'd found camera's hidden in her home after they seperated), Saban and Levy using their connections in Hollywood to literally get backlisted actors who tried to leave their shows if they wanted to pursue any other acting careers (thus why few ever managed to transition to any other acting role, Johnny Yong Bosch being a major exception as by the point he began voice acting he'd been let go from PR amidst a full cast-change mid-way through PR Turbo), and most notably Disney didn't own power rangers through Just SPD (season 12), they went through the end of the original 17 seasons with RPM in 2009. Nickelodeon didn't get PR until Saban bought the show back from Disney in 2010 with them then making Power Rangers Samurai in 2011 in their attempt to get back in the game...and thus beginning Power Ranger's dark times which last to this day even after a shift in ownership to Hasbro in 2018. Then again, this is a 13 minute vid, so hard to fault those admissions. But yeah, Haim Saban and his executives are pretty scummy and not though of fondly at all. One can love the product and yet still empathize with the harm that was done to those made part of it and show respect to them over the men at the top.

Some more things I've heard about Saban: KISS's Gene Simmons once had a meeting with Haim Saban and Shuki Levi to do some project with him. During the negotiations, Saban leaned over to Levi and said in Hebrew, "Now we gut him!" Saban didn't realize that Gene Simmons also spoke Hebrew, and replied, "You a$$hole, I'm one of you!" The deal didn't happen. (I think it was some sort of KISS/X-Men crossover, so I guess it was for the best.) From the book "Previously on X-Men": Storm was recast after season 1, and all the season 1 episodes redubbed with the replacement actress, just to avoid paying the actress royalties. So first, a white woman was hired as Storm. (AFAIK her voice never appeared in any aired episodes.) They then decided that a black woman should to the voice so recast the role with an American actress. Because she was American (as opposed to the rest of the cast who were Canadian) they would have to pay her royalties for reruns of the episodes her voice appeared in, they replaced her with a Canadian actress. Will Meuginot went to Japan and had Sunrise willing to animate for the X-Men cartoon, but Saban didn't want to spend a small amount more for animation and they stuck with their Korean animators. Later they shifted to a Filipino studio that screwed up so bad on some episodes that they had to be completely reanimated from scratch. So there are two completely different versions of "No Mutant's an Island" out there, both used in different geographic regions. A lot of music credited to Haim Saban was not actually created by him, but other composers on a work-for-hire basis. And (not related to Saban but mentioned in the book) Hans Zimmer also uses ghost composers.

What really sucks (especially if you’re a Transformers fan) is that Saban entertainment made the English dub for transformers robots in disguise 2001, and they will not sell the rights to the English dub to Hasbro. Because of this transformers robots in disguise has only had one release of the complete series on DVD and currently is not available on any streaming site legally, at least in the US.

[@slimkickens]

That explains it. That fuckin sucks, that's my favorite Transformers series

[@KasumiKenshirou]

That one wasn't my favorite version (which is G1), but I'm sorry to hear that. So neither company can actually do anything with the show without the cooperation of the other? Really boneheaded move one or both of their parts (I don't know all the details). Hasbro did something similar with ROM: Space Knight. Marvel made a comic based on the ROM toy. The toy was a flopped but the comic was somewhat successful. Hasbro owns the rights to ROM himself, but most of the rest of his backstory is still owned by Marvel. James Gunn wanted to use ROM in his Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but he couldn't work out a deal with Hasbro, as Hasbro had plans for their own "cinematic universe" (remember the Battleship movie? 😄) and wanted to save ROM for that. So Hasbro had a chance to have ROM, a character that most people reading this comment have never heard of nor care about, appear in the MCU at the height of its popularity, but didn't. This kind of crap is why I think our copyright laws need to be drastically overhauled. These giant corporations just hoard everything and then ignore most of it. If a fan tries to do a restoration they have to worry about breaking copyright laws. The copyright needs to go back to an initial 14 years of protection, which could then be renewed one or two times, and those renewals would require registrations. Registrations would help to alleviate the "orphan works" problem, where people want to use a property but can't even figure out who owns it in order to ask for permission. At the very least, the copyright should end when the author dies. (The actual author, not the corporation that currently owns the work or hired the author on a work-for-hire basis.)

Actually power rangers was never sold to Nick. Saban still owned the show when PR was on Nick until 2018 when Saban sold PR to Hasbro who is the current owner. All Nick did was allowed them to air the show as well as make it so seasons have to be 22 episodes I believe

RPM was the final Disney Power Rangers season not SPD, assuming we don't count the 2010 hackjob that was the MMPR reversion. SPD was the 3rd season under Disney, following Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm. Following from SPD, we got Mystic Force, Jungle Fury, Operation Overdrive, and the aforementioned RPM. The Disney era was also, in my opinion, the best overall era of PR, at least for consistency. The only actually bad season in the Disney era, really, was Operation Overdrive, which is overall pretty impressive, and includes most of the best seasons of the show, those being Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD, and RPM.

[@TheSHIELDCap]

The franchise got lucky with the Disney era since Disney themselves are too embarrassed with Power Rangers; they only got it as part of a larger buyout of Fox Family Worldwide when Haim Saban sold the company back in 2001. They even planned to pull the plug after the Fox Family Worldwide buyout but longtime PR producer Doug Sloan convinced them to move the production from the US to New Zealand. Look, even Power Rangers during that era was put into programming blocks like ABC Kids, Toon Disney, and even Jetix, they even barely promoted it. In other words, *Disney never wanted Power Rangers in the first place.* They wanted to end it with Jungle Fury but since Disney grew tired of the franchise, Jetix helped the funding for one last hurrah, which it became RPM. It's never Disney themselves that made the Disney era being "best overall" but more on the production team. People like Bruce Kalish, Greg Aronowitz, and Eddie Guzelian.

I can understand why you’d want to skip Glitter Force. As a Pretty Cure super fan myself, I know all the edits Saban had to do to give it their own sense of international appeal. I don’t have room to explain everything, but I can tell you that while each season is roughly 50 episodes long, they trimmed Smile Precure down to 40 episodes and Dokidoki Precure down to 30! Let that sink in before you decide whether or not to talk about “How Saban Ruined Pretty Cure”. …but in all honesty, Debi Derryberry did a great job with the work she was given. Ok I’ll stop now 😅

[@kawaiilifeantonioAniToon]

Yeah, it deserved a better licensing company from what happened to Glitter Force. As Viz would have done it well with proper English Dubs.

[@carlosramirezjr.7282]

Cardcaptors was another one US producers ruined.

[@pablocasas5906]

I don't understand the concept of "international appeal" since many non-English dubs of anime usually kept all of the Japanese elements intact. For example, here in Latin America we got series like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon Adventure dubbed from the original Japanese version, with all of the background music intact and cover versions of the Japanese OP and ED I can't understand why distributors in the U.S. feel they need to replace all of the Japanese elements, as if kids from other countries wouldn't understand them

[@carlosramirezjr.7282]

@pablocasas5906 I suppose it depends on the studio. Some are hits, and some are misses. Look at US DBZ opening being a total hit. Whether it would be a better hit than the original in other countries, i don't know. Nowadays, I think they use the original OP/ED more often than not.

The ownership of power rangers has jumped over the years first Saban the Disney then Saban again and hasbro now owns it. It's a shame vr troopers failed it was one of the most successful side projects from Saban it had 2 seasons and still could have been around today and big bad Beatle Borges.

8:30 Actually Disney did produce more Power Rangers Seasons up until 2010 (Power Rangers Wild Force where they took over from Saban and ended with Power Rangers RPM in 2009, with a re-edited version of MMPR that aired the year PR didn't had any content to broadcast) About Digimon? I can't tell, Saban did come back for Digimon Xross Wars ( Digimon Fusion in the US) but the rest were brought or skipped entirely ( the ones who did come outside of JP being do to Toei themselves, these being Digimon Adventure TRI, while ApliMon I think just recently got added into the Crunchyroll library after years)

[@godofwarhammer7655]

when you mentioned Samurai Pizza Cats to be syndication what do you mean? Like does Disney own SPC

[@Dekomata]

interesting. but you got a bit of info on the disney era wrong. saban didn't reacquire the series from disney after power rangers spd. they reacquired it in 2010 after the revised verison of mighty morphin power rangers. or power rangers rpm if you want to shun the existance of revised mmpr.

[@carlosramirezjr.7282]

Wasn't Glitter Force one of the Precure magical girl anime. I remember not watching it because I thought the name was stupid. It was before I found the Internet so I thought it was all american tv and didn't know all my favorite Saturday morning shows came from Japan. Well except maybe Los Luchadores.

It's sad that some of their English anime dubs are lost, such as Three Little Ghosts, Jungle Tales, Super Pig, and Rock 'N Cop. At least they had non-English dubs based on those versions that can be found online, which is better than nothing at all since I like seeing non-English dubs too.

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

I knew Saban was scummy but there's some details here even I was'nt aware of. How do you mistreat the guy making all your music and theme songs no wonder Ron Waserman stopped working with him. Thank god Saban lost alot of their stuff their creatives did not deserve anything he put them through.

Saban really was not the best but it was a big part of anime back then...it had a fate that went slowly into fruition when it got bought out by Disney to then emerge and many are locked on Disney jail including Transformers RID 2001 which doesn't have a US release yet despite on how many episodes were removed due to poor timing. I honestly hope Hasbro claims the rights to the series as they managed to claim Animated back in 2011. And Saban's business practices was not the best...as it's comeback was short lived only for Power Rangers (their main IP which is based on Super Sentai) to then be bought by Hasbro. And PreCure definitely deserved better than all this.

I dont even like the new Saban entertainment theme...the old one with the kids was my favorite. BVS entertainment took over dubbing from Digimon Tamers, the second half so I will always appreciate them for that. Im glad that ABC Family didn't let those shows rot away.
