Golden Films is an American production studio founded in 1988 by Diane Eskenazi. The studio has produced a variety of animated adaptation films. The films air on Comcast, Dish Network and Starz Networks as well as are distributed worldwide on television, most digital platforms and at retail. The most famous of the series include the twenty ENCHANTED TALES originally distributed by Sony. Most of the films produced by "Golden Films" are family-friendly and non-violent. The films include over 200 original songs published by Sony Music.
Particularly during the 1990s, Golden Films became known for its numerous direct-to-video films based on folk tales and stories that were also being made into much larger budget theatrical films by other studios at the same time. This prompted The Walt Disney Company to sue one of Golden Films's distributors after a string of Disney Renaissance-era films ended up in direct competition with Golden Films' less expensive productions on the home video market. As both Disney and Golden Films had relied on the same public domain source material, Disney ultimately lost the case.
In the United States, Golden Films's productions are distributed by different departments of Sony Pictures, Columbia TriStar and Sony Music, as well as Hallmark and GoodTimes Entertainment. The films are also distributed worldwide by prominent distributors such as Polygram, Grupo Planeta, Universal, Warner Vision, BBC, Starz, RTL, Cartoon Network, and Buena Vista Television. The films can also be found on YouTube, iTunes, Amazon.com and most digital platforms.
