Why is dragonballz on nicktoons?

Answer 1

In February 2009, Toei Animation announced that it would begin rebroadcasting Dragon Ball Z as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations. The series premiered on April 5, 2009, under the name Dragon Ball Kai (ドラゴンボール改(カイ), Doragon Bōru Kai?, lit. "Dragon Ball Revised"), with the episodes remastered for HDTV, featuring updated opening and ending sequences, and a rerecording of the vocal tracks by most of the original cast.[35][36]The footage was also re-edited to more closely follow the manga, resulting in a faster moving story, and damaged frames removed.[37] As such, it is a new version created from the original Dragon Ball Z footage.

Like all other Dragon Ball-based anime, Funimation Entertainment licensed Dragon Ball Kai for an English-language release in North America, featuring most of the voice actors from their in-house dub of the original series, along with several re-casts. The series made its U.S. premiere on Nicktoonson May 24, 2010, under the title Dragon Ball Z Kai.[38][39]In addition to Nicktoons, Dragon Ball Z Kai also began airing on The CW's Saturday-morning programming block, Toonzai, on August 14, 2010.[40]Both the Nicktoons and Toonzai airings are edited for content, though the Toonzai version is edited even more so than Nicktoons', most notably recoloring the character Mr. Popo (attacked for being similar to a blackface stereotype) blue and replacing halos with glowing orbs, possibly due to The CW being a broadcast channel. However, in addition to the TV airings, Funimation is also releasing bilingual, uncut DVD and Blu-Ray box sets of the show. These box sets contain the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles, as well as the unedited version of the English dub, which re-inserts the objectionable scenes and dialogue deemed inappropriate for the TV airings, and does not contain any of the digital edits made for the TV airings.

As of 2010, Kirby Morrowannounced that Ocean Productions had started producing an alternate dub for Dragon Ball Z Kai. Although he didn't reveal too much, he stated that the company who is responsible for the project had told him after his audition that his voice sounded "too cool" for Goku, strongly implying that they will not re-cast him as Goku for the Ocean dub of Kai.[
