===Background:=== Tomorrow Entertainment, Inc. was a production company that was founded by former American Broadcasting Company president Tom Moore, and formerly owned by General Electric, which also owned Rankin-Bass at one point. In 1974, GE decided to shut down and sell off its entertainment properties, and Tomorrow was sold to advertising agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample. Tomorrow's management was able to buy out DFS's shares in 1983. The company planned a move into feature films starting in 1985, but this was not successful, and Tomorrow closed around 1989. GE retained the rights to the pre-January 1, 1975 Tomorrow library until 1988, when it was sold to Broadway Video; it is now controlled by NBCUniversal by way of DreamWorks Animation and Classic Media. The post-1975 Tomorrow library is presumably in the hands of CBS Television Distribution; Viacom Enterprises had distribution rights to the Tomorrow Entertainment catalog in the early 1980s. In August 1971, Tomorrow Entertainment acquired Alan Landsburg Productions and later sold ALP to Reeves Teletape Corp. (later part of "Reeves Communications") on September 18, 1978.
