British Children No Longer Have 'Stars in Their Eyes' BRITISH CHILDREN NO LONGER HAVE ‘STARS IN THEIR EYES’ Submitted by: Cow PR LLP Wednesday, 19 March 2008 Despite February’s Lunar Eclipse and the UK historically being a maritime nation, it seems that British kids’ celebrity star knowledge is eclipsing their ability to spot some of the major stars and planets in the night’s sky. Research out today, to celebrate the launch of the new Power Rangers Operation Overdrive DVD, shows that British children can’t identify the Moon (72%), Mars (57%) and Saturn (44%) but are three times as likely to be able to identify a celebrity star than one from the cosmos. More worryingly, the research also found that two in every five (39%) kids thought Mars was a type of chocolate bar and almost a third (30%) thought Winston Churchill was the first man to walk on the moon. Two-thirds of the 1,400 kids surveyed were also unable to answer basic questions such as how many planets are in the solar system (60%) or could name the planets in order (59%). A third of kids also believed the Earth wasn’t an official planet (35%) and thought the surface of Mars was blue (33%). Famous UK astronomical figures such as Stephen Hawking and Sir Patrick Moore should take heart though as nearly three-quarters (73%) of the kids questioned wanted to learn more about astronomy, although only 15% believed that their parents would be able to help them learn about the night sky. To help boost kids’ knowledge of astronomy, the Power Rangers brand has teamed up with the British Astronomical Society to create a guide to the stars using the popular TV characters to help teach kids more about the night sky from finding the North Star to spotting shooting stars this summer. The guide is available to download from: www.jetix.co.uk/powerrangers15 Gavin Quirk, Brand Manager, Walt Disney Studios Homes Entertainment said: “We’re very proud to be using the brand appeal of Power Rangers to help boost British kids’ knowledge of astronomy. The DVD of the programme’s fifteenth series, Operation Overdrive, launches this month and finds the Rangers searching for jewels from distant galaxies. To help kids search for their own jewels in the night sky, the guide we’ve created gives easy to follow advice so that kids can enjoy inter-galactic adventures of their very own.” Power Rangers celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, culminating in the launch of five Operation Overdrives DVDs on 10th March, 7th April, 5th May, 26th May and 7th July. -Ends- For more information, images or interviews call the Power Rangers website on 0207 684 6969 or email [email protected] Notes to editors: * Based on statistics from the Department of Children, Schools and Families ** Bandai sales figures 2007 Page 1 1.The research was undertaken by Jetix in March 2008 and is taken from a Jetix survey of over 1,400 children online on Jetix.co.uk 2.

Decontextualized Nostalgia, Adults and Reassurance • Useful framework = Giddens (1991)…: • Trust in abstract systems = subjective anxiety and powerlessness. • Counter this through reflexive self-narratives and ontological security. • …but add to this: • Davis (1979: 41) on nostalgia and self-identity. • Holdsworth (2011) – TV rememberance = show and context. • Discourses constructing the Power Rangers: • Violence; consumerist; aesthetic dismissals

  • Lionsgate and Saban Brands Partner for Power Rangers Live Action Feature Film
    LIONSGATE AND SABAN BRANDS PARTNER FOR POWER RANGERS LIVE ACTION FEATURE FILM SANTA MONICA, CA, May 7, 2014 – Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, and Saban Brands, a strategic brand management company that acquires and builds global consumer brands, are partnering to develop and produce an original live action feature film based on the iconic Power Rangers property, it was announced today by creator of Power Rangers Haim Saban and Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer. The announcement marks another step in Lionsgate’s continued commitment to build a broad portfolio of branded properties and franchises with global appeal. Saban launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a live action television series more than 20 years ago, and the series has been in continuous production ever since. It has subsequently grown into one of the world’s most popular and recognizable brands, with toys, apparel, costumes, video games, DVD’s, comic books and other merchandise. The two companies noted that, with an extensive and extremely devoted worldwide fan base as well as a deep and detailed mythology, the Power Rangers are primed for the big screen. The new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world. “Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent.

(It does not include any children’s output on other commercial generalist non-terrestrial channels, such as GMTV,ABC1, Sky One.) • This output analysis examines the genre range within children’s programming and looks at how this range has changed since 2003. It is based on the BARB Children’s genre classification only and uses the BARB subgenres of Children’s Drama, Factual, Cartoons, Light entertainment/quizzes, Pre-school and Miscellaneous. • It is important to note that the BARB genre classifications have some drawbacks: – All programme output that is targeted at children is not classified as Children’s within BARB. Some shows targeted at younger viewers, either within children’s slots on the PSB main channels or on the dedicated children’s channels are not classified as Children’s. For example, Disney Channel’s That’s so raven is classified in BARB as ‘Entertainment Situation Comedy US’. This output analysis is not based on the total output of each specific children’s channel, e.g.
