Why isn't this series on dvd?
It'd surely be a cult classic IMO.
shareBecause Disney owns it. And I don't think they even know... or care. ;_;
...Disney owns it? I've never heard that before.
You can actually buy a Samurai Pizza Cats DVD on eBay, but I'm 99.9% sure that it's a bootleg.

Disney/ABC bought out Saban International in 2001.
Saban owned SPC, Digimon, Power Rangers, etc.
...so? Just because they had the rights to it back in 1995 doesn't mean that they still had them in 2001.

Yes it does. Disney still own Saban and everything within the Saban library. And whenever Disney get along of something, they rarely let it go.
As long as Disney owns Saban, they will own SPC, and if they don't think it will make money, they won't release it.
Um, hooray? We've already established that:
A) Disney owns Saban
B) Saban once held the rights to Samurai Pizza Cats
What I'd like to know if it's absolutely certain that Saban still had the rights to it in 2001. Just because they had the rights to it at one point doesn't mean that they'll still have it five years later.

Well, seeing as how Saban essentially created Samurai Pizza Cats themselves after purchasing Kyatto Ninden Teyandee, I think it's pretty safe to assume they never lost it.
Why would they mysteriously lose the rights to something they created themselves?
And like, where would it even go?
If they don't see any reason to having kept the rights to it, they could have just let it expire. Or they may not have been able to keep the rights, as the original holder may have wanted them back.

It couldn't "expire" over time, because Saban didn't just license it, they bought it and -owned- it. They physically possessed all of the SPC/KNT video and audio.
With SPC being Saban's property, no one could take it away from them unless they personally decided to sell it. Which they did; to Disney.
