Why would they suddenly have a change of heart on Hasbro?

Toei probably rejected Disney's proposal to make animated series based on Super Sentai concepts/designs (i.e. Zyuranger/MMPR).

Any Saban/Hasbro/Disney-original designs and concepts are probably up for grabs in terms of animated shows. But who knows? I'd be interested to know how much contractual influence Toei has on Power Rangers as a concept separate from Sentai. I'm also interested in knowing how much Hasbro would have to change to make PR sufficiently distinct from Sentai in order to escape Toei's demands and make their own animated show.

EDIT: I did a little research, and I think it's a myth that Toei rejected an animated Disney PR pitch. There's almost no information on this other than Disney was considering a PR cartoon, going as far as to commission at least one test reel, but ultimately decided against it.
