The Disney Era is an unofficial term used for the seasons of Power Rangers produced by Disney in New Zealand.

Disney Seasons[]

History[]

The Disney Era came into being in 2001, when Disney bought Fox Family Worldwide, which included Power Rangers. While Power Rangers Wild Force is technically a Disney season, it was filmed and produced in Los Angeles, like the previous nine seasons. Because of this, Wild Force is generally associated with being a part of the Post-Zordon Era. The Disney Era would officially begin in 2003 with Power Rangers Ninja Storm, as it and the subsequent six seasons that followed were filmed in New Zealand. In 2006, Disney reduced the episodes to 32. The Disney Era ended in 2009 with the conclusion of Power Rangers RPM. While the 2010 re-version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was produced by Disney, it is not considered a season by Saban Brands. In May 2010, Saban reacquired Power Rangers and begin production on Power Rangers Samurai, which began airing in February 2011.

Notes[]

  • Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Power Rangers S.P.D.Power Rangers Mystic Force, and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive are the only seasons in this era that have ties to the Zordon Era. While the main villain in Power Rangers RPM is named Venjix, there is no connection with the General Venjix that appeared in Forever Red.
  • All the seasons of the Disney era don't follow the traditional six hero format. Dino Thunder only featured five Rangers; while S.P.D., Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, and RPM all feature at least seven Rangers or Ranger like allies. Although Ninja Storm can be an exception by featuring 6 rangers, the main 5 are actually the union of 2 different teams: Wind Rangers and Thunder Rangers
  • This is the first era where Yellow is the only female Ranger on her team, followed by the Hasbro era.
  • This is currently the only era:
    • With female Blue Rangers as Liveman and Jetman aired before Zyuranger.
      • Interestingly, both of their teams have the Blue and Yellow Rangers switch genders (the Yellow Ranger is male and the Blue Ranger is female)
    • With female Silver Rangers.
  • Many seasons of this era have something that characterizes them and makes them unique:
    • Power Rangers Ninja Storm is so far the only season to have both a Crimson Ranger and a Navy Ranger on the core team.
    • Power Rangers Dino Thunder is the only season in this era where none of the Rangers wore any sort of uniform to accompany their statuses as Power Rangers.
    • Power Rangers Mystic Force is the only season in this era not to feature a villain exclusive to Power Rangers as well to keep the villain faction completely unchanged from its Sentai counterpart.
    • Power Rangers Jungle Fury is so far the only season of Power Rangers to have a Purple Ranger on the core team.
    • Power Rangers RPM is the only season in this era to have both a Green Ranger and a Black Ranger on the core team.
