Syndicate Entertainment

Syndicate Entertainment is an American film production studio founded in 1988. The studio created traditionally animated films from 1988 to 2008 and from 2016 onwards, as well as CGI animated films starting in 2000. In 2005, Lionsgate bought the company for $700 million, and sold the company to NBCUniversal in 2013 for $1.5 billion. Walt Disney Studios is currently bidding to buy the studio for $3.5 billion.

In 1993, they created a spin off company called "Syndicate Interactive Studios" which focused on video games. Most of them were original stories or side stories to films they made. Their man focus for the first eleven years were graphical adventure games, however due to the niche market by the end of 2004, focus was shifted to tie in action games until the early 2010s when profits were not as high. Designers and writers were laid off starting in 2011, and by 2013 the division was shut down. The people who got laid off from leaving the graphical adventure niche formed a company called "The Interactive Studio" in 2006 where they created more graphical adventure games to this day. The rest who got laid off in 2011-2013, signed onto Second Floor Software under their "Essentials" brand.
