Morlus Animation

Morlus Animation, LLC (simply known as Morlus) is an American animation studio headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded by Steven A. Morlus and Rodney Ousley on November 3, 1989, the studio has been owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, a division of AT&T through its wholly owned subsidiary WarnerMedia, since 2010. Morlus creates animated feature films, short films, and television series, and is best known for the franchises Beastz, Tiny Warriors and Phoenix. Although the studio also made traditionally animated films in the past, all of their films now utilize computer animation.

The studio has also produced several short films. On March 8, 2011, Time Warner Inc. (now known as WarnerMedia) acquired Morlus Animation for $$3.2 billion, making it a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Animation as an acquisition for the animation studio.

In recent years, the animation studio has acquired and created new divisions in an effort to diversify beyond the high-risk movie business.

Films produced by Morlus Animation were formerly distributed worldwide by its Paramonut Pictures, from 1996 to 2005, Sony Pictures Releasing through Columbia Pictures from 2006 to 2011. Warner Bros. Pictures then began distributing subsequent Morlus Animation films. Warner Bros. also now owns the rights to Morlus' previous films.
