The company imported, dubbed and adapted various media formats from Japan such as Maple Town, Noozles, Funky Fables, Samurai Pizza Cats, and the first three Digimon series to North American and international markets over syndication, including both animation and live-action shows.

Saban also adapted various tokusatsu shows from Toei Company, including Power Rangers (based on the Super Sentai series), Big Bad Beetleborgs (based on Juukou B-Fighter), VR Troopers (featuring elements of various Metal Hero series), and Masked Rider (featuring elements of Kamen Rider Black RX).

[6][7] In 1984, Saban moved into production outright with its first television program Kidd Video, a co-production with DIC Enterprises, and it was picked up by NBC as part of their Saturday morning lineup.

[8] The next project Saban produced was Macron 1, an English version of GoShogun featuring pop music, which was picked up for syndication by Orbis Communications for the fall of 1986.

[12] In late October 1987, Saban Productions had obtained three independently produced projects as part of its first slate for the NATPE conference.

The three strips included Love Court, a collaboration with television syndicator Orbis Communications; All-American Family Challenge, a game show taped at Six Flags; and Alphy's Hollywood Power Party, a teen celebrity dance show; the fourth project would be a network game show version of the board game Uno, which was set for NBC, and was to be produced by Peter Berlin and Rob Fiedler, who joined Saban shortly after Wordplay was cancelled.

[25] The following year, Saban brought another hit to the Fox Kids lineup, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, an adaptation of the Japanese Super Sentai franchise.

[26] At distinct times in the 1980s, both Loesch and Saban had attempted adaptations of these shows, but had found themselves repeatedly rejected by other networks.

The block consisted of two newly produced programmes - Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist and The Why Why Family, new episodes of VR Troopers and repeats of Samurai Pizza Cats and Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic.

[37][38] In July 1996, Fox Kids Network secured rights from Marvel Entertainment Group for Captain America, Daredevil and Silver Surfer and additional characters to be developed into four series and 52 episodes over seven years.

Oliver Spiner, senior vice president of Saban International, took over operational duties previously handled by Welter.

in the Fall of 1997, of which the hour-long serials would consist of an episode of X-Men: The Animated Series and other Marvel programmes such as Iron Man and Fantastic Four.

[47] Marvel was developing a Captain America animated series with Saban Entertainment for Fox Kids to premiere in fall 1998.

On July 23, 2001, it was announced that the group would be sold to The Walt Disney Company as part of the sale of Fox Family Worldwide/Fox Kids Worldwide (which Disney renamed ABC Family Worldwide) by Haim Saban and News Corporation,[50] and on October 24, 2001, the sale was completed[1][2] with Saban Entertainment, Inc. rebranding as BVS (Buena Vista Studios) Entertainment, Inc.[3] on November 29, 2001.

Although the studio was a separately operated multi-shareholder unit between 1991 and 2012, BVS International N.V. owned the rights to "SIP Animation" respective name, brand, logo and trademark between 2002 and 2012.

Following the formal dissolution of the studio, all remaining assets owned by SIP[84] became the property of its parent company BVS Entertainment.

[86] These shares were later transferred to Disney Holdings B.V. Libra was founded to produce programs targeted to older audiences, like Saban did in its early years.

Throughout its existence, it produced low-budget B-grade films, some of them erotic thrillers, for TV networks and the direct-to-video home entertainment market.

Susie Q, the only Disney-branded production in Saban's history, some films from NBC's Moment of Truth series and erotic-thriller Blindfold: Acts of Obsession starring Shannen Doherty and Judd Nelson, constitute a significant part of the Libra catalog.

Many Marvel-related series distributed by Saban and some of their live-action films such as Richie Rich's Christmas Wish and Three Days are available on the Disney+ streaming service, while The Tick is available on Hulu, and Prime Video has Sweet Valley High[100] and A.T.O.M.

Factory announced a home video distribution deal with Saban Brands, which includes VR Troopers, the first two seasons of Big Bad Beetleborgs and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.

[102] In Germany, they have released complete-season boxsets to every Power Rangers series, along with the English versions included up until season 6 due to problems with Disney.

Located in Ústí nad Labem, this studio was originally founded as a VHS distributor in 1992, continuing a legacy of phonograph record pressing from the early 20th century, but started shifting to CD and DVD distribution in 2002, and expanded to serve other European countries.

In 2007, North Video had introduced a specialized form of DVD distribution: slim paper packaging, specifically made to be affordably sold with newspapers at newsstands in both Czechia and Slovakia.

[105] The company enjoyed great success for years, but by 2023 it was unofficially defunct due to declining interest in physical media releases.

[106] In 2010, the company licensed and released a large number of DVD volumes of Saban series for distribution in the aforementioned newsstand format.

North Video also released Marvel Studios series, as well as later titles from Jetix including Captain Flamingo, Monster Warriors, Pucca, and Sonic X.

[126][127] Nearly all of these compositions are listed on legal cue sheets as being written by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban, with these two also appearing in television credits as the composers for most Saban-related productions.

[128][129][130] A 1998 investigation by The Hollywood Reporter alleged that during the 1990s, many television compositions credited to Levy and Saban were being ghostwritten by a salaried staff who did not receive royalties.

[126] Feature films produced by Saban Entertainment usually had to give proper credit to these ghostwriters, presumably since they were union productions.
