'''StudioCanal''' (formerly known as '''Le Studio Canal+''' until 1999) is the | '''StudioCanal''' (formerly known as '''Le Studio Canal+''' until 1999) is the general production and distribution unit of French premium television channel [[Canal+ (France)|'''Canal+''']]. It was founded in 1988 by Canal+ president Pierre Lescure as a spin-off of the pay-TV network; its original function was to focus on French and European productions, but later made strategic deals with American production companies. | ||
Over the years, the studio acquired the film libraries of other studios that either became defunct or had merged with it. As a result, StudioCanal now owns the third largest film and television library in the world with over 6,000 titles, only behind [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] and [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]]. The library includes titles from [[Carolco Pictures]], [[Embassy Films Associates|Avco Embassy Pictures]], and [[Lumiere (France/UK)|Lumiere]], among others. | |||
