What is the relationship between 20th century studios and disney?
Quick Answer
Disney acquired 20th Century Studios in March 2019 when it bought 21st Century Fox, bringing the studio and its home‑video arm under Disney’s ownership.
Explanation
In March 2019 the Walt Disney Company completed its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, a transaction that included 20th Century Studios and its associated subsidiaries such as Searchlight Pictures, Blue Sky Studios, 20th Century Animation, and 20th Century Home Entertainment. 20th Century Home Entertainment had been the dedicated home‑video distribution arm of the Fox Entertainment Group since 1982, handling releases of films produced by 20th Century Studios and its sister labels. Following the acquisition, Disney integrated these operations into Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, effectively folding the former Fox distribution infrastructure into Disney’s own home‑entertainment division. As a result, 20th Century Studios now functions as a subsidiary of Disney, and its films and distribution are managed alongside Disney’s other studio properties.
