From 2014 until 2016, eOne has distributed and released additional kids content made under the [[Kaboom! Entertainment]] label in Canada and the United States. On December 30, 2019, after American toy company [[Hasbro]] acquired the company, their future film and television projects began using the eOne name, absorbing the [[Allspark Pictures|Allspark]] name with it a year later. On November 17, 2022, Hasbro announced that is selling part of Entertainment One's TV and film business not directly supporting the Hasbro Branded Entertainment strategy, which includes all non-Hasbro assets ranging from scripted and unscripted television and films, but would exclude the company's ex-children's properties, which were already consolidated under Hasbro. On July 17, 2023, Deadline reported that [[Lionsgate]] was a frontrunner to acquire Entertainment One from Hasbro. On August 3, 2023, Hasbro announced the sale of eOne to Lionsgate for $500 million which is scheduled to be completed by the end of that year. | From 2014 until 2016, eOne has distributed and released additional kids content made under the [[Kaboom!
