Apparently, Saban Brands has regained the rights to Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. In a trailer posted at Marvista.net, both the Saban Brands logo and the words "Saban Brands presents" appear. Since Marvista handles international TV sales for Power Rangers, it is reasonable to assume the deal for TNM is of the same type.

Maybe they'll release it on DVD over here?

*shrugs*

I never liked Next Mutation much beyond a handful of eps, but I probably would buy it on DVD anyway.

What does this mean?

I'd buy the DVD just for the hell of it. I only watched 2 episodes as a kid and hated it so much I never watched it again. Might as well try it.

Um who the heck is "Dragon Skull"?

From what I can tell, this company sells programming to TV channels/stations/networks. So, Next Mutation could potentially be aired on TV again.

I really really really really really hope we get a DVD release. I enjoyed The Next Mutation quite a bit.

I agree. I could have done without the annoying squeaky noises, etc. but this is great news and I would definitely buy a DVD collection!

They only have international TV rights. Sorry, dudes.

Any word on who they tend to sell their rights to? Local channels? Cable?

And to answer my own question, from their own site:
"MarVista has established strong relationships with leading US broadcasters such as Hallmark Channel, ABC Family, Lifetime and NBC Universal's SyFy Channel."

So...how long before NT:TNM airs on ABC Family?

*Powder* · 09-16-2011, 06:40 PM

Well, that's cool too I guess... I mean I have the episodes as it is but I want DVD's!

MarVista can only distribute the series overseas, but Saban can still find a US distributor.

I heard that according Saban's Youtube Account, there will be Power Rangers DVDs sometime in the future. My guess is that it's only a matter of time before Saban finalizes a deal with a DVD company (Shout Factory, maybe). The same company that eventually releases Power Rangers on DVD could theoretically also pursue the Next Mutation home video license from Saban.

Marvista is the company handling Power Rangers and other Saban properties internationally. What this means is that The Next Mutation was included in the purchase of Power Rangers from Disney (along with Beetleborgs VR Troopers and likely Masked Rider/Knights of Tirnanog). Those shows are all on NETFLIX instant watch so it's very likely we'll see TNM on Netflix, also counting that Saban and not Disney owns TNM, they will likely try to cash in on the turtles revival by releasing TNM on DVD when the new show airs next year.
