I have long known this was in the finalizing stages and it should not come as a shock to anyone who has actually seen BCI's amazing work on the classic He-Man series:
LONDON (Reuters) - Sword-wielding princess She-Ra is set to join twin brother He-Man in North America, after owner Entertainment Rights (ERT.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday it had appointed a distributor in the region for its animation catalogue.
Entertainment Rights (ER) said its agreement with BCI, a Navarre Corporation Company (NAVR.O: Quote, Profile, Research) , will allow 230 hours from its Filmation library, featuring characters such as She-Ra, Ghostbusters and Zorro, to be available on DVD in the United States and Canada.
"This agreement is further evidence of the timeless quality and appeal of the Filmation library and further demonstrates ER's ability to deliver on its strategy of expanding its business in the key U.S. market," Mike Heap, ER's chief executive said in a statement.
The new deal, on the back of BCI's DVD distribution of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, will give ER greater opportunities in the U.S. home entertainment market, estimated to be worth in excess of $24 billion, the firm added.
At 10 a.m., ER shares were up 1.5 percent at 34.75 pence valuing the group at about 144 million pounds ($253 million).
