We have been asked to research different production company's that are involved in our chosen Genre(s)..

Warner Brothers:

Warner Bros are a huge American Company. They are know world wide for their work. It was founded in 1918 by the four Warner brothers. They have been making films since prior to World War 1 which is a very long time. They have branched of in to many subsidiary parts including Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. have been through many changes through the long time they have been a part of the Entertainment industry but I'm positive they will remain an Important part of Film for a very long time to come.
