Talk:Saban Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is an inconsistency in the List of Television Shows and Films. Next to MASKED RIDER (1990s), you have the various Japanese counterparts used to make the show. However, Ryuki is listed there, which it should not be. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (Kamen Raida Ryuki) is in no way linked to Saban's work on Masked Rider. It is a new series being produced by Adness Entertainment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.38.191 (talk) 00:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

"Some of the more infamous localization attempts which fueled this hatred include their attempt to create an American version of Sailor Moon. In this particular situation, Saban planned to purchase the rights to the show, animate a new batch of episodes, and blend them with live-action sequences. Certain characters were also changed around; in particular, Sailor Jupiter was to be disabled and use a wheelchair both as an average citizen and as a Sailor. As a result of this, Toei Animation (the production company of the Sailor Moon anime) handed the rights to the series to DiC, who were also bidding for the show at the time." That wasn't Saban, it was Toon Makers and Renaissance Atlantic. [1] GracieLizzie 09:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it was all three of them, with TM doing the animated parts, and RA doing the CGI as I understand it. Furthermore, I believe that the reason DIC got it was because they were willing to pay more money.

To add to this: Some kind soul posted the long version of the Saban Sailor Moon demo to YouTube, and the speaker at the beginning says that remaking the show turned out to be more expensive than just buying the existing footage from Toei and having it dubbed. -lee 13:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spartakus

Saban had nothing to do with Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea - this is a somewhat common mistake (I just corrected it on IMDB), because it was produced in France (as were Mysterious Cities of Gold and Ulysses 31) and Nina Wolmark was an important part of the creative team.

However, it did not involve Saban. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.140.53 (talk) 21:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
