yea Haim went on record as saying he regretted not excluding it from the deal but it was the Fox Family Worldwide deal it wasn't just a Saban Entertainment sale since Saban Entertainment was just mostly full of a library of shows but nothing else so Disney wouldn't have gotten Fox Family from it if it was just Saban Entertainment.

yes Wild Force would've still happened since contracts with actors would've been in place. They would've gotten into big trouble with SAG if they broke the contract but as for whether it would've remained on Fox I think it would've since it was still part of the contract.

It all depends if Fox Kids wanted the whole season. We know Wild Force finished up on ABC Kids and Fox Kids itself closed down soon after perhaps Saban would have sold WF's second half to Fox Box and possibly future seasons.

that's a good point

while you're probably right about Wild Force you're not right about the rest of it except for either Fox Box or 4Kids doing the Ultraman thing. That worked for them at the time but Sentai isn't a fit for that not to mention Haim Saban's company who owns the rights to Sentai in non-Asian countries would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER allow such a thing.
