A sizeable portion of the Créativité et Développement content library is currently owned by The Walt Disney Company, which purchased Saban Entertainment (renamed to BVS Entertainment) and Saban International Paris (renamed to SIP Animation) in 2001.[9][10]Mediawan Thematics currently owns the C&D programs co-produced with AB Productions. The New Adventures of He-Man was placed within Parafrance Communication's Filmation library, which is currently owned by DreamWorks Animation. King Arthur and the Knights of Justice is currently distributed by Invincible Entertainment under license from 41 Entertainment,[11] and Magic Trolls and the Troll Warriors is currently owned by Arad Productions.
