Why this petition matters

SUMMARY 

  • Diabolik: Track of the Panther (or Saban's Diabolik) is a 2000-2001 Fox Kids-Saban Entertainment co-produced animated series based on the Italian anti-hero and comic books franchise called same name as "Diabolik". 
  • It was a quality animated series that reflects the characteristics of the period with its futuristic atmosphere, wonderful drawings, terrific anatomical descriptions, background landscape designs, state-of-the-art devices, and is well ahead of today's animations as an art design. 
  • Due to these reasons, it was a part of Fox Kids-Jetix channels for many years and was broadcasted on FTA channels.
  • Disney has owned all rights to the show since 2001 through BVS Entertainment, a subsidiary of Disney's primary cable network FREEFORM. But unfortunately this show is not available on Disney+.
