Saban Entertainment was an independent television production company formed in
1983 by music and television producers
Haim Saban and
Shuki Levy (who also reached the bottom line with the edition of "
Nippon Animation Grimm's Fairy Tales") as "Saban Records", a U.S. subsidiary of "Saban International Paris" (now SIP Animation) who provided music soundtracks to shows made by other companies (most notably
DiC). In 1984, the company expanded in television production of its own, and was renamed "Saban Productions". Several years later, the company also established "Saban International" (now
Buena Vista International Television), for international distribution of its shows (note: though used interchangeably with "Saban International Paris", they were technically two different entities). Finally, in the early 1990s the company renamed itself "Saban Entertainment".
