SIP Animation: Difference between revisions

'''SIP Animation''' was established in 1977 by Haim '''Saban''' and Jacqueline Tordjman initially as "'''S'''aban '''I'''nternational '''P'''aris" (hence its initials), a television production company, that later in 1980, it moved into the field of animation with the formation of its American subsidiary "Saban Records" (later "[[Saban Entertainment]]"). At first, it just provided music for cartoons (it used a unique strategy whereby the animation company got to use the music for free, but Saban had the publishing rights and could collect broadcast royalties from TV stations via collection agencies), but eventually started producing its own animation. It produced many of Saban's animated series that had the prefix "Saban's" in front of them. Following the sale of Saban Entertainment and Fox Family Worldwide to Disney in 2001, it was renamed to its then-new name on October 1, 2002 and produced shows for [[Jetix Europe]]. It was shut down in 2009.
