How involved were Saban and Pioneer in the Creative Process?

[BootyCheeksJohnson]

I was under the (wrong) impression that Saban and Pioneer were heavily involved in script adaptation and casting. So besides distribution of the show and movies on air/DVD what did they do? Is it just a coincidence that Funimation put out fully uncut versions of the first 3 non-canon movies after they started their relationship with Pioneer? Because it's weird that they gave us fairly faithful scripts, and original JP music scores for the movies only to go back to whatever unfathomable treatment they were giving the show once they started using their cheaper in-house cast.
Someone help me understand.

Saban just distributed Dragon Ball Z to TV. Funimation were not a widely known name in the entertainment industry in 1996 so having a company that had success with Power Rangers gave them more leverage.

Pioneer were more involved in the creative process as they produced the dubs of Z movies 1-3 by buying the sublicense from Funimation for the home video market.

Cool that basically answers everything for me. Though I still don't know why Funimation went back to treating the TV show like crap after they stopped working with Pioneer and outsourcing the ADR work to Canada.
The script treatment from the Pioneer/Ocean collaboration proved to be a hit with the fans, so I don't understand why they felt the need to circle back to butchering the scripts like they did with the previous edited episodes.
