BVS Entertainment

BVS Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Saban Entertainment and Saban International) is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company that formerly used to be an independent US-Israeli television production-distribution company serving worldwide; the company originally founded as a music production company under the Saban Productions name in 1980 by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy. The company and its extensions are mostly known for producing and distributing children's programs for Fox Kids, Fox Family/ABC Family and Jetix.

The company imported, dubbed, and adapted various Japanese series 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 ''Metal Hero'' series such as ''Space Sheriff Shaider'', ''Jikuu Senshi Spielban'', and ''Choujinki Metalder''), and ''Masked Rider'' (an original interpretation using scenes from the Japanese ''Kamen Rider Black RX'').

Saban has also distributed and provided music for television programs produced by outside companies such as ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', ''Inspector Gadget'' and the first two dubbed seasons of ''Dragon Ball Z''.

In the 1990s, Saban also operated a production division Libra Pictures, which produced programs targeted towards older audiences than Saban's usual kid-friendly output, as well as a syndicated subsidiary Saban Domestic Distribution, whose primarily purpose was to distribute shows for first-run and off-net syndication.
