It is 100% time for refunds.

This project has been a sham from the beginning. This Dominic has been well documented to be in this for money. Now of course these people should want money if they're doing work. But you don't go in and make a craptacular illegal wannabe product based on a beloved children's series that you have zero expertise on, just to hopefully elevate yourself to "real" directing gigs. That's terribly shady, as was his general attitude to the entire project.

That being said, even if you ignore the blatant money grab aspect of these "professionals" where the hell is the product people paid for? With the footage they'd already given us you'd have thought a decent chunk of the supposed film had been done already. Given the additional year since funds were raised you'd again have to assume that what became webisodes would have to be done as well. What kind of fools do they take this fandom for to assume they'll give up their money and just wait happily indefinitely? Clearly a lot of people did just that and I'm sorry they did, but the legal ramifications of such a project even existing should have been a red flag to anyone who even thought of donating to this thing.

In any case it seems that at every turn this project has failed to meet deadlines. The various individuals involved with it will not speak ill of it despite mounting evidence to show that this whole thing has been one huge debacle. I guess I can respect these actors for trying to talk well of the project, but I honestly question the validity of anything they've said on various message boards and social media. Do they not realize this thing was infringing on copyrighted material? They say Dominic told them he straightened out the legal concerns with Saban which is just a bold faced lie. So again I question whether what they had to say was true at all.

All in all this thing was never going to make it. I've said that from the beginning. Saban should rightfully lay the smackdown on this project for being an absurdly blatant infringement on their property. I suspect this Dominic person finally realized he was going to be in serious legal trouble if he brought this thing out and took the money and ran.
