Rankin Bass/Motown/Worldvision Enterprises

I saw this on VH1 when they aired reruns of The Jackson 5ive

Does anyone know when The Jackson 5 cartoons will be on DVD? It would make logical sense for them to be if you ask me!

[MattTheSaiyan]

They should put the show on DVD with these logos.

[DJCandyManMike]

I always liked the Motown logo.

[dadadruma]

this was probably the coolest logo next to the zooming hb logo from 68-73 2002-present

I forgot Rankin/Bass produced the Jackson 5 animated series. I was about 8 when that came out.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Correct title of the series was: The Jackson 5ive (5 = five). The Worldvision logo (originally used starting in 1988) seen here is the last version, used from 1996-99.

Will you read the description of the video before posting any comments?

ASN?

[mrceleb2006]

ASN was the Atlantic Satellite Network, which was seen on EVERY cable TV provider in the Atlantic Provinces; today, it's called "A".

[mrceleb2006]

When ASN went on the air in 1983, I used to watch this cartoon series on that channel.

BTW, there was no real Rankin/Bass logo at the end of each "Jackson 5ive" episode; it was replaced by a text-only credit of that company during the Motown Productions (now de Passe Entertainment) logo animation.

[Neville6000]

Actually, the show was produced by Videocraft, the predecessor of Rankin Bass

[mrceleb2006]

Really!

[Neville6000]

Yes, really! And nowadays, the Worldvision logo is replaced with the CBS Television Distribution logo, because that's what Worldvision became eventually.

@Neville6000

Of course, Worldvision had previously been folded into Paramount Domestic Television in 1999.
