Golden Films was an American production studio founded in 1994 by Diane Eskenazi, previously known as American Film Investment Corporation. The studio has produced a variety of animated films including the Enchanted Tales series, which were originally distributed by Sony and a series of well known specials for Hallmark.
This prompted The Walt Disney Company to sue one of Golden Films' distributors after a string of Disney Renaissance-era films ended up in direct competition with Golden Films' productions on the home video market. As both Disney and Golden Films had relied on the same public domain source material, Disney ultimately lost the case.[1] The Golden Films library also uses classical music and over 200 original songs.
