'''Streamline Pictures''' was formed in 1988 by Carl Macek and Jerry Beck to produce and distribute English-dubbed Japanese animation. Streamline later stopped producing new anime releases but continued to distribute its releases for a while. During the mid-'90s, its releases were variously distributed by [[Best Film & Video Corp.]], [[Family Home Entertainment]], and [[Orion Home Video]]. In 2002, the company went out of business, and all its film and television material are now owned by different anime companies, such as [[Manga Entertainment|Manga]], [[Viz Media|Viz]], and [[Funimation]]. | '''Streamline Pictures''' was formed in 1988 by Carl Macek (formerly of [[Harmony Gold]]) and Jerry Beck to produce and distribute English-dubbed Japanese animation.
