History
Supreme Entertainment was founded on April 25, 2002 by Brandon Monroe. For its launch, the studio signed with Paramount Pictures a four-picture deal to produce computer animated films for the studio. That same year, visual artist Matt Gullahorn created a one-minute animated short titled Shapeshifting Siblings. A feature film based on this short titled Jimmy & Sam 3000 began production in 2003 as Supreme's first full length animated feature film; it was released on October 27, 2006 by Paramount. In 2004, workers at Paramount Feature Animation joined the company.

In February 2010, Supreme formed a distribution deal with Universal Pictures, with Universal acting as the distributor for Supreme's films to be produced under the Universal Animation Studios label. In July, however, Universal abandoned its deal with Supreme in favor of forthcoming animated films from Illumination.

In 2016, Paramount's parent company Viacom purchased a 50% stake in Supreme, strengthening the relationship between the company Paramount.
