Marvel Animation: Difference between revisions

This incarnation of Marvel was founded in 1993 after the Marvel Entertainment Group formed a joint venture with New World. In that same year, New World, which formerly owned Marvel, consolidated Marvel's former animation studio, Marvel Productions, into New World Animation. They would eventually produce animated adaptations of their properties. The studio would still continue to be active after the New World sale to Fox, as it operated under Saban Entertainment to produce more animated adaptations of Marvel franchises. After the sale of Fox Family Worldwide to Disney, Marvel Films Animation ended their partnership with Saban Entertainment. In 2004, Marvel struck a deal with Lionsgate to produce direct-to-video animated movies under the name of Marvel Animated Features. In 2008, Marvel Animation was reestablished to focus on Marvel's efforts in animation.
