Old International Fox Kids/Jetix Channels Memorial Thread

BDHcEw1.png

I've always wondered where the Fox Kids and Jetix archives are kept.

Even if we don't know what kind of problems this library has, it is obvious that it has some problems.

Most of this library, which we can simply classify in 5 parts as ABC Family Worldwide, BVS Entertainment, SIP Animation, Jetix Animation Concepts and MARVEL, is still missing on Disney+.

All we can have from this library are MARVEL animations and SRMTHG.

Of course, I'm not just talking about the series. For example, I'm talking about lost/missing dubbings and episodes in various countries and regions.

Not to forget the unremastered SD disgusting image.

If we consider that even the series owned by Disney are not on the platform, the terrible image quality and incompletely added dubbing of the ones on the platform are among these data. Disney has lost or damaged this archive. That's why it can't recover and is not on the platform. Because the records of CEE, MENA and other regions are missing or incomplete, but there is no problem with records such as Italian, German, French. The records of the London-based broadcasting feeds are troubled.

Most recently, DisneyTVA's production of Fillmore was added to the platform for the first time in HD and 16:9 edition. This was Fillmore's first HD broadcast.

The Tick is only available on the US service Hulu, but we have no information about its quality. Because we couldn't test it. Unlike Fillmore, SRMTHG was added two years ago with a terrible 4:3 SD version, but a 16:9 HD version is also available.

I mean this. Disney hasn't worked for this library for years and seems to have abandoned it. This is true.

However, if there's even the slightest chance for animations like Atom, Witch, Diabolik, Nascar Racers, Walter Melon or Spy Dogs, I'd like them to be remastered and added to the platform, and if they're making us wait for that, I wouldn't mind.

But after all these years of waiting, ugly VHS type 4:3 images and dead colors should not be.

I hope we will meet them again in the best quality we can get and Disney will remake all SD cartoons, especially the MARVEL animations of the 90s, even with the help of artificial intelligence.

Remaster is the reality and necessity of our time. Disney shouldn't get away with it.
probably all are stored in the archives of Buena Vista International Television.


if we speak for the CEE region, namely for Russian (it was included there), then until February 2022, Disney uploaded old content to local streaming services

Interesting. The International dubs are archived too?

Are these broadcasters official streaming services or pirated services in Russia?

Do you have a list of Fox Kids-Jetix content published through such publishers? Anything from the SABAN or Fox Kids library? Diabolik, W.I.T.C.H., A.T.O.M., The Tick, Walter Melon, Spy Dogs etc.

By the way, isn't Captain Flamingo's license expired?
 
those services that I have listed (okko and ivi), they are official. the audio track is only Russian, but sometimes an additional one is added in English. Hercules has English (disney)

Diabolik, W.I.T.C.H., A.T.O.M., The Tick, Walter Melon, Spy Dogs there is no.

Captain Flamingo is no longer available, there's a trailer.

found the Addams family (in a paramount subscription).

in 2020, Disney wanted to launch Disney+ on the okko service, but the laws did not allow. Now they plan to launch the star service, documents have already been dropped into the registry.

P+ and play are launched in ivi and okko

Which Addams Family is that? The Saban/Scherick one? Disney transferred rights to Paramonut?

This info is important to me I'm making an article for a blog I will mention Addams Family. Also can I use your info and materials?

Addams Family Values, The Addams Family (1991 film) - owned by paramount.

The Addams Family (2019 cartoon) - owned by universal, but for some reason, paramount had the rights

Yes, you can use the information
 
Disney+ is counting their's Saban/Fox Kids/Jetix library as Freeform or Non-TWDC/TWDC-Other and listed under STAR branch.

You can see by yourself
Dsny.pl

Search for Three Days, Richie Rich or SRMTHFG and looks theirs Franchises section. This section is private on platform users doesn't allowed to see them. Probably Fox Kids/Jetix/SABAN library (except Marvel Legacy) will be in Russia under STAR Brand tile. And Jetix is the still most Popular brand of the Russia. They will probably take this library before rest of the CEE

Looks like Xyber9 New Dawn, Nascar Racers, New Addams Family and some several titles music licences were recorded under ABC Family Worldwide.

Instead of rest of the Saban Library these ones could be adding more easily before years ago.

Rest of the Saban Library musics (performed by Shuki Levy, Haim Saban and Michael Dax) owned by BMG Music Rights management but Disney, Wildbrain and CineGroupe still use this music library.

So this shouldn't be a problem.

And yes. Non-Disney branded Television library counted as General Entertainment(HULU-STAR)
Baby TV content counted as same too.

In my country. Many Fox Kids/Jetix shows aired as FTA. And Disney+ has 2 Million Turkish subscribers. We deserves Jetix/Fox Kids/Saban library at first. (Same like Ally McBeal or King of the Hill)

the most amazing thing is that Disney Channel wanted to launch in 2007 and 2009.

Throughout 2009, Disney stated that they could not get a license for the Disney Channel. BUT on the Roskomnadzor website there is the same license for 2009, as well as the license was indicated in the promo.

Jetix/Fox Kids licenses closed in 2011

On the same website I noticed Jetix Play's license was canceled in December 2010.
in the old news it was written that Jetix Play will stop broadcasting on August 1, 2010. But on the forum of the local operator, people wrote that the channel continues broadcasting (August 3, 2010)

Jetix Play closed down on September 1, 2010. It is believed however, that here it did closedown on March 12, 2011. I still don't think it's true, it's way "too late" for me.
 
I didn't even notice. On June 3, the registration of the Star brand in Russia was refused.

Most likely, this is a retaliatory measure due to the termination of the company's activities

Luckily enough, three Fox Kids series (Wunschpunsch, The Kids from Room 402 and Bad Dog) managed to air on Disney Channel, in Netherlands.
 
Today I bought Jetix DVDs.

Yeah, Brexit was pretty much the reason, the Spanish licence is just a legal technicality, as Disney has a sizable staff base in Madrid, and the country had the least regulations/obligations out of all the countries where Disney could get a licence in the EU, and probably because they're already familiar with Spanish broadcasting regulations as Disney Channel is on DTT there.

Disney's EMEA base (including EMEA management of the channels) is still in (Hammersmith) London, they just got rid of the Disney Channel offices in Chiswick as they're not needed anymore. Their operations have been downsized. Personally, I didn't think they needed the extra offices and two studios since Disney Channel stopped doing live show productions (Studio Disney and Diggit) anyway, also they didn't even own the building, it was rented.


can Paramount channels work like this? the Russian Paramount Comedy channel has a Czech license, but according to the photos from the London office, it is under their control

Here's a fun article I wrote on why Ruby and Jade from Sofia The First are good characters.
Okay hear me out, Isn't it kind of crazy how CN never thought about doing a Kids Next Door x Teen Titans OG crossover back in the 2000s? There's five members of Sector V, five titans, and they both have super cool HQs. I'm telling you guys, a TT and KND crossover would've been so epic!
Watched the live-action "Moana" today and felt nothing that special compared to the original 2016 film. In fact, I don't remember much from the first animated film, but I think they barely changed anything in the 2026 version
