Shout! Studios is a distribution arm of Shout! Factory, an American home video and film distribution company. Founded in 2002 as Retropolis Entertainment, they began by distributing music and record labels, later expanding their operations to including classic movies and TV series from the 1980s and 1990s and beyond that have not yet been distributed in the DVD or Blu-Ray format. After a lengthy period under the name Shout! Factory, the company rebranded itself in 2023 to its current name.[1]

History[]

In 2012, Shout! Factory began touching Tokusatsu territory when they signed with Saban Brands to distribute Power Rangers on home media in North America. Through this deal, Shout! also acquired the rights to distribute other Saban properties, being VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. In 2014, Shout! announced that they had signed with Toei Company to release Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger on DVD, and were the official distributor for Sentai in North America until 2019 when Saban sold Power Rangers to Hasbro.

In 2014, Shout! announced that they had signed with Toei Company to release Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger on DVD, and were the official distributor for Sentai in North America until 2019 when Saban sold Power Rangers to Hasbro until the release of Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman in DVD for 2022 confirming that the company is still the official distributor of the series.

In 2017, Shout! Factory announced the formation of Shout! Studios to develop and distribute original content.[2]

In addition to the series itself, Shout! Factory has also released Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie on Blu-ray as part of its separate deal with 20th Century Studios (now part of former franchise owner Disney). Because of Shout!'s status as the series' home video distributor, these releases are co-branded with Saban.

In March 2020, Shout! announced TokuSHOUTsu, a streaming service dedicated to offering VOD of the Super Sentai shows it had already licensed, in addition to their on-day-of acquisitions of both the original Kamen Rider and Ultraman Leo.[3] Several Super Sentai shows were available to stream at launch, while other shows from the franchise and Kamen Rider continue to be added periodically.[4]

In addition to the TV shows, a talk-show titled Let's Talk Toku premiered on the channel, featuring YouTuber Squall Charlson as the host. The show would feature Jason Narvy as one of its guests and a "Backlot style" documentary-series on the history of Power Rangers.
