* ScrewedByTheNetwork: According to Savin Yeatman-Eiffel, Jetix Europe and Buena Vista International Television lost a lot of interest in the series shortly after the series aired, and after the initial runs in most countries, it never gained any reruns. Eventually, after being able to purchase back the distribution rights to the series from Disney, Sav! the World put together a kickstarter for a Blu-Ray release featuring the show in it's original HD quality, as Yeatman-Eiffel called it: "The way it was meant to be seen".
