List of BVS Entertainment productions

BVS Entertainment

The company's main U.S. unit produced television shows as Saban Entertainment until the last quarter of 2001, when program production continued in a more limited manner as BVS Entertainment. However, the BVS corporate umbrella also remained the parent company, holding the company's subsidiaries, even though shows produced or distributed by subsidiaries of the company are not credited to BVS' name.

SIP Animation

When the company was named Saban International Paris, some of their shows featured the "Saban's" corporate bug in their title although Saban Entertainment itself is not listed. BVS Entertainment was not credited in SIP Animation shows produced after 2002 but BVS International N.V. remained the respective owner of the rights to the SIP Animation name, brand, logo and trademark after 2002.^[7]

Fox Kids Worldwide

These programs were only distributed by Saban Entertainment beginning in 1996, when Saban merged with Fox Children's Network to form Fox Kids Worldwide.^[12][13] Due to this partnership, the New World Animation assets purchased by Fox in 1995 were transferred to Saban Entertainment.^[14] After Disney's purchase of Fox Kids Worldwide in 2001, the shows moved to the Buena Vista International Television catalogue.^[15] Although Disney held some rights to Marvel-related animated series through BVS Entertainment^[16][17] before Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment, copyrights to shows based on Marvel Comics characters were not directly owned by BVS Entertainment.^[18] The remaining rights to these Marvel-branded shows were completely transferred to Marvel Entertainment with Disney's acquisition of Marvel in 2009. Disney gained further rights to the New World Animation/Marvel Productions library following its acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019.^[19][20]

In December 1995, Saban International N.V. purchased from Vesical Limited its interest and international rights to certain television programs originally produced by DIC Entertainment. Vesical's assets included non-U.S. rights to series such as Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff and Dennis the Menace.^[13] Disney later returned these rights to DIC in 2006.

The rights to Créativité et Développement shows (including the adaptation rights to Diabolik) were transferred to Saban Entertainment as a result of Saban's French subsidiary, Saban International Paris, purchasing C&D in April 1996 and absorbing the company in 1998. C&D retained a few shows produced by DIC Audiovisuel after DIC Enterprises split off from it in 1987.

Most of the Fox Kids and Marvel shows that Saban acquired in 1996 would get new television prints, which plastered the 1996 Saban Entertainment logo onto the end credits, along with the Fox Kids Worldwide logo. Following Disney's purchase of Saban and Fox Kids Worldwide in 2001, these logos were removed from most releases, although for unknown reasons, they are still kept on some, such as on Disney+'s current streaming versions of Marvel superhero shows like Fantastic Four: The Animated Series and Iron Man: The Animated Series.^[21][22] In 2012, these logos were also kept on a UK DVD release of the Fox Kids Goosebumps series, which Saban and Fox Kids Worldwide controlled the non-U.S. distribution rights to (with the U.S. rights always being held by Scholastic Entertainment). The 1996 Saban logo and Fox Kids Worldwide logo were also plastered onto the credits of DIC Shows they acquired non-U.S. rights to, including Inspector Gadget, Dennis the Menace, Heathcliff, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and M.A.S.K..^[23] They have since been removed from newer releases.

Foreign TV series

The company also dubbed and/or distributed the following foreign TV series in English.
