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 July 17, 2023, Deadline reported that [[Lionsgate Films|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 was closed on December 27 of that year. | From 2014 until 2016, eOne has distributed and released additional kids content made under the [[Kaboom!
