Amy Jo Johnson reprised her role as Kimberly in Power Rangers two years after the original Pink Ranger departed from the team, yet the circumstances of her return were not what I was expecting. Kimberly Hart was one of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and appeared in all three seasons of the original show. However, Kimberly did not remain on the team until the very end of Mmpr 3, as Amy Jo Johnson left the show after the A Different Shade of Pink arc. Kimberly was replaced by Katherine Lillard, played by Catherine Sutherland.

Unlike the exits of Jason, Zack, and Trini from the team, Kimberlys departure was very well handled. Not only did we get to meet Kat a couple of episodes before she became the new Pink Ranger, but Kimberly also got to pass the torch herself to her successor. Kat would go on to build a legacy...

Subscribers looking for films that will entertain every age range, the best family movies on Netflix ensure that every member of the household will have a great time on movie night. When it comes to streaming, Netflix is still one of the most popular platforms on the market especially when it comes to families and subscribers with young children thanks to the range of animated and family-friendly movies on offer. The vast array of original content and licensed properties means the best family movies on Netflix cater to almost every taste, with plenty of genres represented.

It is not surprising that Netflix is home to many incredible family films, and the issue many subscribers have is often an overabundance of choice. Some are original content, while others are classic and timeless family movies Netflix has acquired the license for. Whether it's licensed content or original films, there are plenty of...

Kat was the 2nd Pink Ranger and had 3 different sets of powers. Kat was part of three Power Rangers shows. Kimberly's legacy remains unmatched, but Kat was a worthy replacement for the original Pink Ranger.

Katherine Hillard was Power Rangers Kimberly replacement, and she did something that the original Pink Ranger was sadly never able to. Kimberly is one of the greatest Power Rangers of all time, having been part of the original series and defined the concept of Pink Ranger for an entire generation. Although Kimberly left the team before the end of Mmpr, she appeared in all three seasons of the show and returned for one of the movies. That said, Kimberlys Power Rangers history was relatively short compared to other characters, at least in the TV show.

Kimberlys final Power Rangers episode was A Different Shade Of Pink, which marked Amy Jo Johnsons final appearance in the TV show.

Following rumors over the weekend, TV Line has confirmed that Hasbro's Power Rangers cinematic universe, which was expected to include both an original television show and new films, that had been in development at Netflix for the past two years is no longer moving forward at the streamer.

X user @Jinsakuu was the first to break the story, before the trade was able to obtain confirmation. In their initial tweet, the online scooper explained, "Due to the lack of staff and all the departments and responsibilities Hasbro had to take on. They’re lisencing Power Rangers Toys and Media off to other companies. As we seen with playmates who now own full control of the toys they’re doing the same with the show rights. Also they’re trying to be as hands off as possible and still own the franchises revenues. So good news maybe ??"

Kimberly Hart, played by Amy Jo Johnson, left the Power Rangers team in season 3 to focus on her gymnastics career. Kimberly broke up with Tommy through a letter in Power Rangers Zeo, allowing Tommy to continue on the show without addressing her again. Amy Jo Johnson reprised her role as Kimberly in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie but never returned to the TV show. However, Kimberly would still appear three more times.

Kimberly Hart, Power Rangers’ original Pink Ranger, exited the team during Mighty Morphin season 3 but continued to play an important role in the show's story. Played by Amy Jo Johnson, Kimberly was one of the original five Power Rangers brought together by Zordon to fight Rita Repulsa. Even though there have been countless Power Rangers characters, the pop culture impact of the original five heroes – six, including Green Ranger Tommy Oliver – cannot be matched.

Following the exits of Austin St. John,...

The Power Rangers Turbo series introduced a storyline called The Millennium Message, but it was never followed up on due to changes in the writing staff. The Millennium Message would have revealed a force that could stop the villains, but the audience never got to see who it was. Instead of continuing The Millennium Message plotline, Power Rangers Turbo focused on passing down the titles and powers to a new generation of Rangers.

Despite the fact that the Power Rangers franchise hinted at a major storyline for the crime-fighting teenagers in Power Rangers Turbo, the Millennium Message plot never actually happened, and only for one small, subtle reason. Power Rangers Turbo is a 1997 Power Rangers series that lasted one season and is the fifth installment in the Power Rangers franchise. Despite being a continuation of the franchise, Power Rangers Turbo saw a whole horde of changes, most importantly in relation to the cast.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" is the anniversary special "Power Rangers" fans have been dreaming about for years. While we've had many special episodes throughout the decades, including massive crossover battles involving most Red Rangers (of the time), or different Rangers teams fighting together, this is the first time the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team has come back, and for a special that is specifically about them. That is, the franchise's first iteration, before it started adapting a different "Super Sentai" show with an entirely different cast, team, and theme song every season.

"Once & Always" pays homage to fallen Rangers, with a lovely and rather emotional tribute to Jason David Frank and Thuy Trang. Trang's character Trini, in particular, is central to the story of the special, with the death of Trini forever impacting the team, and inspiring her daughter Minh to pick up the mantle of the Yellow Ranger.

In a recent interview, two Mighty Morphin Power Rangers actors discussed their involvement with the Netflix special Once & Always and their dedication to getting things right. Once & Always served as a celebration of the franchise's 30th anniversary, and dealt with the loss of a Power Ranger and introduction of a new team member. A large amount of cast members from the original series returned in the special to reprise their roles and help with its production, including Walter Emanuel Jones, David Yost, Steve Cardenas, Catherine Sutherland, Johnny Yong Bosch, Karan Ashley, Amy Jo Johnson, and Austin St. John.

Screen Rant recently talked with stars David Yost & Walter Emanuel Jones about Once & Always.

With its cast of familiar faces already back at the forefront, star David Yost reveals how he helped bring back one original writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.

It’s morphin time again as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always cast is stacked with old favorites and some new actors in the roles of fresh and familiar characters. The Netflix Power Rangers special is tied to the 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise and reunites the original members of the team — and most of the original cast — after three decades.

As Netflix’s official synopsis states, “This 30th Anniversary Special is inspired by the legendary mantra from the franchise 'Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger,' meaning once you become part of the Ranger family, you are always welcome back.” While most of the original cast returned for the special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, even some cast members who weren't able to return saw their characters appear in the special.

The original Green PowerRanger appears in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, raising the question of whether Jason David Frank filmed scenes for the reunion. Original Tommy Oliver actor Jason David Frank died in November 2022, leaving an enormous legacy within the Power Rangers franchise. It must be noted, though, that Once & Always was filmed before David Frank’s passing.

Power Rangers: Once & Always is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 30th-anniversary special, which sees the original heroes from the Mighty Morphin era reuniting to fight a robot version of Rita Repulsa (voiced by Barbara Goodson). The Power Rangers reunion addresses the original Yellow Ranger Trini’s (Thuy Trang) fate in the story, and introduces a new character – Mihn (Charlie Kersh), Trini’s daughter. Other returning Power Rangers characters include Mighty Morphin characters Rocky (Steve Cardenas), Kat (Catherine Sutherland), Aisha (Karan Ashley), and Adam (Johnny Yong Bosch).

Robot Rita captured several Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. Though the Power Rangers reunion was designed to celebrate the Mighty Morphin era, Once & Always referenced multiple other Power Rangers shows. Between Mighty Morphin and Once & Always, Power Rangers saw dozens of series and hundreds of different Rangers.

As a Mighty Morphin reunion, Power Rangers: Once & Always rightfully avoided focusing on other Power Rangers teams. Still, the Power Rangers special managed to incorporate Power Rangers’ 30-year-old legacy by having Robot Rita capture multiple Rangers from other seasons. Here’s every Power Ranger captured by Robot Rita in Once & Always.

The Power Rangers anniversary special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always confirms what happened to Trini, the original Yellow Ranger. Thuy Trang, who played Trini in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, passed away in 2001 after a tragic car accident.

One of the five teenagers with attitude picked by Zordon to become Power Rangers, Trini Kwan remained on the team until Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 2’s “Power Transfer”. Trini, Zack, and Jason left the team for a peace conference following their respective actors’ exits from the series, an event that the Power Rangers comics would retcon decades later.

Warning! Contains spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & AlwaysAmy Jo Johnson, the original Pink Ranger, is not in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. A Power Rangers 30th-anniversary special, Once & Always sees the return of multiple Power Rangers actors for a scripted reunion featuring Rita Repulsa as the main villain. Power Rangers: Once & Always revolves around the Yellow Ranger Trini’s death, bringing the original team together over a major loss. There is a Pink Power Ranger in Power Rangers: Once & Always — it just isn't Amy Jo Johnson.

Amy Jo Johnson’s absence from Power Rangers: Once & Always might seem surprising considering how important Kimberly is to Power Rangers history. One of the original five teenagers with attitude picked by Zordon in “Day of the Dumpster," Kimberly only left the team toward the end of the Mighty Morphin era and remained in touch with the Rangers according to canon.

Could Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always receive a sequel? The direct-to-streaming Netflix movie reunites the titular team in honor of the 30th Anniversary of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The Power Rangers franchise is an ongoing action series that follows a team of youths who can transform into armored, super-powered heroes. Each Power Ranger is identified by a specific color and in some seasons, a unique symbol. The Power Rangers each pilot Zords, smaller vehicles they pilot that can all combine to form a Megazord, a giant mech capable of taking on the kaiju-sized enemies they often face.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always uses original actors and characters from the early seasons of the show. For the first time, though, the franchise acknowledges the death of original Yellow Ranger actor Thuy Trang, who tragically died in a car accident. That adds an unusual...

Kimberly did not appear in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, which featured Kat as the Pink Ranger. Technically, Kimberly was in Once & Always. However, the original Pink Ranger did not remove her helmet, as Amy Jo Johnson did not participate in the reunion. Billy and Zack were the only two characters from Power Rangers’ first lineup who returned in Once & Always.

The original Blue and Black Rangers teamed up with two other Rangers – Rocky and Kat – to take down Robot Rita. The new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team also welcomed Minh, Trini’s daughter, as the new Yellow Ranger.

This post contains spoilers for "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always."

It should come as no surprise that "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" is completely filled with nostalgia. Unlike most other anniversary specials for the beloved tokusatsu franchise, "Once & Always" does not feature several iterations of Power Rangers meeting, like "Forever Red" or "Once a Ranger." Instead, this is entirely focused on the first series in the franchise, the multi-season "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and its two generations of Rangers.

The special focuses on the return of Rita Repulsa, who has got herself a new robot body and brings tragedy to the Rangers. When Repulsa's armies start attacking Rangers around the world, new heroes will rise and the Power Rangers will see their legacy and their abilities tested. "Once & Always" sees the return of Zack Taylor (Walter Jones) and Billy Cranston (David Yost) from the first team, as...

This Power Rangers: Once and Always review contains spoilers.

Power Rangers: Once and Always, with a brisk hour-long runtime, does the impossible for a nostalgia focused special. It isn’t concerned with playing solely to cheap memories and easy jokes for casual fans, and isn’t obsessed with deep fan lore, either. Its primary focus is instead on just being the next entry in these characters’ lives. It’s doing something new and not just playing the hits.

The special most closely follows Blue Ranger Billy (David Yost) and Black Ranger Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones). We check in on their lives and see them in new situations. After the death of Yellow Ranger Trini, Zack takes on guardianship of her daughter, Minh (Charlie Kersh). It’s a wonderful new side of Zack that still highlights the character’s familiar warmth and charm. His interactions with Minh are the best part of the special,...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always is an action-adventure film directed by Charlie Haskell and starring Johnny Yong Bosch, Richard Steven Horvitz and David Yost.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always is a Powers Rangers special set in 2023.

It may seem that this is written by ChatGPT, but the fact is more than curious because, despite being filmed in 2023, it has been made following the television schemes of the 90s? for the delight of their fans…

And for the astonishment of the rest of the viewers, who may not be prepared for what they are about to watch, nor believe it after watching it.

For the 30th anniversary of the 1993 series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Netflix's special, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always reunites most of the original cast for an epic battle against their greatest adversary: Rita Repulsa. Zordon is missing, and the rangers are still doing their best to protect the planet from evil forces, even though they are no longer teens with attitude. Trina Kwan’s daughter Minh will join the fight this time because Rita Repulsa’s tactics have turned deadly. This latest nostalgia trip in no way changes the tone or styling to adapt to modern entertainment standards. Once & Always is a direct sequel to the original series. The 1995 film of the same name adopted a more cinematic style to bring the Rangers to the big screen, but Once & Always brings it back to basics. The special effects, clear digital photography, and drone camera is the only notable improvement.

A new clip from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always pits the Rangers against Putties in an original series location. Originally airing on Fox in 1993, the superhero fighting action show re-purposed footage from the Japanese Super Sentai television series and inserted new scenes sporting new storylines featuring American actors. Releasing April 19, Netflix's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always commemorates the 30th anniversary of the original series' first season, touting a crossover unlike the franchise has ever seen.

Power Rangers star Amy Jo Johnson is speaking out about reports surrounding her absence from Netflix's Might Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.

When the anniversary project was announced, many of Johnson's former co-stars were confirmed to be on board.

The actress has taken issue with fans saying she didn't take part in the project due to monetary reasons.

"Please stop saying I didn't do reunion because of money. Simply not true," she wrote.

"Maybe I just didn't want to wear spandex in my fifties."

"Or I couldn't travel to New Zealand to film for a month. Or perhaps it's none of [your] beeswax."

The special was filmed before fellow co-star Jason David Frank's death.

Johnson shared that both actors declined the project for their "own reasons."

"[Jason David Frank] and I both chose not to for our own reasons. They filmed before he passed," Johnson wrote.

Past Rangers have returned to various Power Rangers series' during the show's long history, but now members of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers team will be coming together for one more adventure.

Adapted from the Japanese superhero metaseries Super Sentai, Power Rangers has spanned 30 seasons over 30 years, with 22 different iterations of the iconic team. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers kicked off the revolution by detailing the story of five teenagers who are chosen by the mysterious Zordon to act as the protectors of Earth against the evil forces of Rita Repulsa. While many lucky teens have fought in the battle of good vs.

Amy Jo Johnson, the original Pink Ranger, will not be returning for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reunion special. Power Rangers began 30 years ago as a show that follows a band of teenagers with attitude brought together by a mysterious mentor who grants them supersuits, superpowers, and the ability to use giant mechanical robots, called Zords, which can merge together into gigantic biomechanical Megazords. The Rangers are each color-coded, and each color has a specific role within the team with the Red Ranger leading and the other colors having their own unique weapons and purpose.

While Power Rangers has just cast its first full-time female Red Ranger, the franchise hasn't been able to keep all news positive, as Johnson took to Twitter to make it clear that she will not be appearing in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reunion.

For the record I never said no…I just didn’t...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers made its debut way back in 1993, instantly becoming a hit for the after school crowd. Thirty years later, Netflix has put together a special honoring three decades of a television franchise that remains in the hearts of those who grew up with it. The special, subtitled Once & Always, is making waves for bringing together some of the original cast, including Blue Ranger Billy (David Yost) and Black Ranger Zach (Walter Emanuel Jones). Joining them from Season 2 will be Steve Cardenas who played the second Red Ranger Rocky, and Karan Ashley who played the second Yellow Ranger Aisha, along with Johnny Yong Bosch who played the second Black Ranger Adam. Season 3’s Catherine Sutherland, who played the second Pink Ranger Kat, is also returning. Some very sad absences from the original cast include original Yellow Ranger Trini, played by Thuy Trang, who died in a car accident...

Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming Power Rangers reunion, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always 30th Anniversary Special. The upcoming special will be a scripted event celebrating the enduring legacy of the first installment of the now iconic Power Rangers franchise. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a television show that premiered on Fox Kids and was adapted from the Japanese series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. The series chronicled the adventures of the six Power Rangers and quickly became one of the most far-reaching pop culture sensations of the 1990s.

Now, Netflix's new trailer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always 30th Anniversary Special shows the return of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The trailer teases even more adventures from the original 1993 cast and guest actors as they suit up in Angel Grove for the first time in 30 years. Fans also get a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes of filming the special in the trailer,...

"Power Rangers" is one of the biggest franchises to come out of the '90s. Based on the Japanese franchise "Super Sentai," the "Power Rangers" series follows a group of teenagers chosen to fight evil with the help of super suits and giant robots that morph together to make an even bigger robot.

When it premiered, the series was the closest '90s kids got to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You got a team of superheroes fighting cartoonish villains by punching the hell out of them, with a more diverse team than even the current MCU has.

And just like the MCU, the "Power Rangers" franchise has an expansive universe with a couple of different timelines, and stories that go to space, and travel to different galaxies, yet they all somehow have the same technology as our timeline. Still, no matter how many seasons there are, there is arguably no...

Since the Power Rangers franchise debuted in 1993, Pink has been one of the most popular colors on the team. Not every team has a Pink Ranger, but when they do, those Pink Rangers tend to end up at the forefront of a lot of the big storylines of the season. Kimberly Hart set the blueprint for the character in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and elements of her characterization have made it into almost every Pink Ranger ever since.

The Pink Ranger has the reputation for being the most feminine of the team, and often the weakest link. Over the years, a lot of Pink Rangers have been kidnaped, having a difficult time getting out of sticky situations without the rest of their team. That doesn’t always make them weak though - just in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact, Pink Rangers tend to be the most...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers may have debuted 30 years ago, but it spawned a franchise with a lasting impact on pop culture that continues to this day. But even as old fans and new viewers enjoy the latest Power Rangers seasons on Netflix or read spin-off stories from Boom! Comics, their attention often returns to the season that started it all. Names like Kimberly Hart and Billy Cranston resonate through the decades, whether the current set of rangers is fighting Rita Repulsa or an entirely different threat.

Naturally, that means fans are always ready to add another Mighty Morphin Power Rangers piece to their collection, and Diamond Select Toys is equally as ready to provide. Since Power Rangers Cosmic Fury coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original series, welcoming iconic cast members back to the fold for the big year, now is a perfect time to celebrate with gorgeous merchandise.

Still immensely popular on morning TV and worthy of a second round as a big-screen contender, the Power Rangers return in "Turbo", a high-spirited fantasy adventure co-directed and co-written by franchise co-founder Shuki Levy.

20th Century Fox's family-oriented film is action-packed and silly, the equal of 1995's entertaining "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie," but unlikely to open with much of a bang.

A multigenre combination of sci-fi concepts and characters, cliffhanger heroics, kung-fu movie fights and juvenile humor, Saban Entertainment and Toei Co.'s "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" borrows heavily from "E.T". and the Indiana Jones trilogy. Current "Power Rangers ZEO" and former cast members return with several newcomers as the Rangers battle a wicked space pirate.

The five Rangers -- including Tommy Jason David Frank) as the new Red Ranger, young Justin Blake Foster) as Blue Ranger and Rocky (Steve Cardenas) -- are directed by leader Zordon to rescue a fugitive wizard captured by matinee vamp Divatox (Hilary Shepard Turner) and her dim-witted but fearsome henchmen.

Purring and looking like E.T.'s cousin from the planet of the leprechauns, the wizard Lerigot is vulnerable to sunlight and even has a scene in which he heals a Ranger's wound. To further gain our sympathy, Lerigot's wife and infant are captured and threatened, but it's the villains who are the most entertaining.

The pace is fast and furious, with the teen heroes handling numerous opponents and perils as normal humans. But the crowd-pleasing final third finds the turbo-powered Rangers in their Zords taking on Divatox and her husband-to-be, a powerful demon imprisoned inside a volcano.

Old pros of the first film or the TV show, Frank, Johnny Yong Bosch, Catherine Sutherland and Nakia Burrise are a smoothly functioning unit, with Foster's gung-ho rookie stirring things up. Low-comedy relief is again provided by stooges Bulk (Paul Schrier) and Skull (Jason Narvy).

Returning for a subplot involving a submarine and lava pit, former Red Ranger Jason (Austin St. John) and Pink Ranger Kimberly Amy Jo Johnson) are involved in the exciting finale.

Directors Levy and David Winning, along with cinematographer Ilana Rosenberg and production designer Yuda Ako, display plenty of imagination and create a few wondrous moments with the low-tech special effects.
