14 years later in 1992, Streamline Pictures licensed the anime along with "" from NHK. Streamline Pictures dubbed all 26 episodes of "Future Boy Conan" for Japan Airlines. Streamline was planning to release the show in North America on VHS, but the estate of Alexander Key became aware. The Key estate issued a cease and desist letter, threatening a lawsuit if "Future Boy Conan" ever got a US release. This resulted in Streamline Pictures giving the rights back to NHK. As of 2020, the show still had not been released to the US market.
