==International Distribution Rights==
Despite being co-produced and owned by Disney, Disney chose not to directly handle international distribution of the series, instead allowing a third party to do the work.
Canadian company Fireworks Entertainment distributed the series everywhere outside North America. Currently, the non-North American rights to the series are with Fireworks' successor company Content Media Corporation PLC.
