That's right.
It's a kids show, so:
1. Pander to them in each and every way.
2. No swearing or blood.
3. If there's any drama or sadness, cut it and replace with melodrama and "power of friendship" speeches.
4. All dubbings must be done using the cheapest voice actors available.
5. It's okay to share voice actors between characters. Kids won't notice. James from Pokemon and Pegasus from YuGiOh are the same f***ing guy!
6. Make sure there are multiple opportunities for merchandising.
7. MILK THE FRANCHISE FOR EVERY PENNY! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
If there is ever a Mario anime, pray to God that 4Kids doesn't get its grubby little mitts on it.
At least FUNimation eventually released Uncensored Dragon Ball Z...
