Turner Pictures was founded by Turner Broadcasting in 1989 as their film production division, initially producing made-for-TV movies, then expanding to features. Turner Pictures continued to produce films as an autonomous division alongside Turner Broadcasting's recently-purchased New Line Cinema and Castle Rock Entertainment. Turner Pictures Worldwide Distribution, Inc. was also founded to handle international sales and distribution of Turner Pictures productions. Turner Pictures feature films were released through Warner Bros. Pictures in 1996 when Turner merged with Time Warner. Turner Pictures continues to operate under the name "TNT Originals, Inc.", producing TV movies. In 2001, Turner Broadcasting launched "Ted Turner Pictures", which financed ''Gods and Generals'', its first theatrical film, though they have not produced another project since. | Turner Pictures was founded by Turner Broadcasting in 1989 as their film production division, initially producing made-for-TV movies, then expanding to features.

'''Availability:''' Seen only on some Turner movie productions, such as ''Gettysburg'', ''Angus'', ''Almost Heroes'', ''Michael'' and ''Fallen'', as well as older VHS copies of ''Which Way Home'', ''Montana'' (1990), and ''Grand Isle''. It was originally seen on VHS prints of ''Tom and Jerry: The Movie'' plastering the Miramax Films logo, most DVD releases and current prints go straight to the opening credits; however, a recent DVD print preserved the logo, which is also retained on a TV print shown in Australia. The "Worldwide" variants can be seen on ''Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights'' (TV and streaming prints only), Boomerang airings of ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!'', a Starz Encore airing of ''The Pagemaster'', UK VHS releases of Turner material from First Independent Films, and a Bulgarian VHS of ''The Jetsons''. | '''Availability:''' Seen only on some Turner movie productions, such as ''Gettysburg'', ''Angus'', ''Almost Heroes'', ''Michael'' and ''Fallen'', as well as older VHS copies of ''Which Way Home'', ''Montana'' (1990), and ''Grand Isle''.
