EspañolTURNER ENTERTAINMENT
'Turner Entertainment Company, Inc.' is an American media company established on August 4, 1986 as a subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting to oversee its film library after its acquisition of the MGM/UA Entertainment Company (now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc.), which is now owned by Sony Pictures and has domestically distributed its films through Columbia Pictures and TriStar Pictures since 2005.
In addition to the studio, Turner got its library, which included all of MGM's films up to that time, the former Associated Artists Productions catalog (the Warner Bros.' pre-1948 releases & the Fleischer/Famous Popeye cartoons), the U.S. rights to a majority of the RKO Radio Pictures library, and some pre-1952 United Artists material. Turner later re-sold the studio, keeping the pre-1986 library.
Turner Entertainment Co. also played a huge part in film preservation and restoration, thus such classic films as ''Casablanca'', ''Citizen Kane'', ''King Kong'', ''Easter Parade'', and the original ''The Jazz Singer'', can continue to be seen today via its various cable channels, as well as in revival movie houses and home video. The films are also internationally distributed and shown by many channels around the world. Turner Entertainment also distributes films from RKO Radio Pictures, New Line Cinema (1994-1996) and Nest Entertainment, and shows from TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and PBS (1994-2004) on home video.
Today, as part of Time Warner, Turner Entertainment Co. continues to oversee its inherited library, which also includes ''Gilligan's Island'', ''The Wizard of Oz'', ''A Christmas Story'', ''Gone with the Wind'', and ''Tom and Jerry''.
