Plans for the franchises 25th anniversary have been announced.

Press Release

Saban Brands today announced the official 25th anniversary campaign for Saban’s Power Rangers, the iconic superhero franchise. To commemorate 25 powerful years, Saban’s Power Rangers’ anniversary campaign will be a multi-tiered program, titled, “You’ve Got the Power”, designed to encourage, enable and empower children and adults to unleash their inner superhero. Saban Brands will soon begin unveiling never-before seen content as well as partnerships, tours and interactive programs that embody the core pillars of the Power Rangers brand: friendship, inclusivity, diversity and teamwork – a powerful combination. Additionally, because “it’s morphin time,” Saban Brands will celebrate the brand’s anniversary date, August 28, 2018, in morphinominal fashion.

In addition to the reveal of the Power Rangers 25th anniversary logo, Saban Brands shared a sneak peek into the celebratory year, which will include, but not be limited to, the following:

• A special 25th anniversary episode will air on Nickelodeon during the “Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel” season in Summer 2018.
• A highly anticipated national live tour in partnership with Red Light Management and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) will be an epic, one-of-a-kind and interactive theatre production. More details, along with pre-sale tickets, will be announced in early October.
• Power Rangers will soon be the first licensed property with an official interactive role playing game streaming live on Hyper RPG, an industry leading channel on Twitch, the world’s leading social video platform and community.
• Interactive experiences with new, game-changing brand partners to create Power Rangers escape rooms and virtual reality centers as well as learning and physical development opportunities for kids and much more.
• The unveiling of the “Top 25 for the 25th” collection which will feature must-have, official anniversary items for collectors of all ages from notable partners including toy partner Bandai, the chart-topping mobile game Power Rangers: Legacy Wars from nWay and record-breaking Power Rangers comics from BOOM! Studios, amongst others.

“At its premiere in 1993, the ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ resonated with people around the world, turning it into a global pop culture phenomenon,” said Janet Hsu, CEO at Saban Brands. “Since then, the Power Rangers TV series has continued to exemplify teamwork and inclusivity which is something we are extremely proud of and will be showcasing throughout our 25th anniversary year as we look to celebrate this historic milestone with fans of all ages.”

Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993, Power Rangers is one of the most-watched television programs in the United States and remains one of the top-rated and longest running kids live-action series in television history. The series and subsequent movies, including 2017’s feature film with Lionsgate, follows the adventures of a group of ordinary teens who morph into superheroes and save the world from evil. The TV show airs in 150 markets around the world and is translated into numerous languages. As a top ranked action brand for decades with more than 150 licensees globally, Saban Brands will work closely with its valued partners to honor this incredible landmark for the franchise.

Teaser campaigns will begin soon and the official celebration will kick off in January 2018 continuing through holiday 2018. For more information, please visit www.powerrangers.com and follow Power Rangers on http://rangernation.com/, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

half that crap they have been promising since the beginning of samurai.

[sdp]

none of that seems interesting to me besides the anniversary episode, do we know what actors will be on it? Announcing Power Rangers 2 would be a great way to celebrate the 25th anniversary.


BTW, I was trying to go to RangerCrew.com but is that site dead now? Are the forums gone? I had so many posts I wanted to re-visit but the main site doesn't load and the forums give me a phishing warning on my browser and I see on twitter that the site is now called RangerNOW and it has no forums.

Thanks, I was wondering what the hell had happened to the site.

I was looking at my DVD collection and realized that I've collected In Space through S.P.D., which makes a total of eight seasons.

If you could only own/watch one PR season for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?

My personal pick is Time Force, as it was the first series I watched, and now, even after watching several of the others, its story and themes still resonate the most.

That new RangerCrew link doesn't work for me, I get stuck in the DDOS protection page :/ but it's a new message board right? The old one is gone as are all the old posts ? so many great discussions lost in that case.

MMPRs1, why? Nostalgia.

I do like other seasons besides MMPR and yes other seasons are better written but MMPR has a certain charm that later series just don't have. The cheesy plots are nostalgic as are the aesthetics, I like dinosaurs, it features the best non-morphed fights, the character interactions are the best of any series, sure they all had their specific traits but the chemistry between the actors hasn't been felt in any other show. I could easily watch this alone for the rest of my life while other seasons I would get bored.

If I can't choose MMPR to make it more interesting it would likely be RPM as it featured the most interesting storyline the show has had and mixes humor with drama rather well or maybe SPD, it was the series that got me back into Power Rangers, it had humor, action fun and built a fun universe.

I missed the discussion about Rangercrew apparently....they closed down the old forum because it apparently became too expensive to keep running.

[sdp]

I wish I had known, I would've archived some awesome discussions I had there with peeps

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, some of Chris Funaro's final rants were on that forum, before he vanished. Would have loved to have kept them...cranky old bugger

[ranger_scout]

Jason David Frank would like to see Tommy go out like Logan/Wolverine did. I don't think that would happen because that would be pretty dark for a kids TV series.

I still remember going to see that show at the now demolished Reunion Arena in Dallas, TX. I went right after-school with my dad and siblings to see it. Like most young kids I actually did believe that the actors from the TV show were in those suits and the rangers actually did come to my town.
