Golden Films
Golden Films is an American production studio founded in 1994 by Diane Eskenazi, previously known as American Film Investment Corporation. The studio has produced a variety of animated films. The company's most notorious films were part of the ''Enchanted Tales'' series, which were originally distributed by Sony Wonder. Golden Films became infamous for its Enchanted Tales films based on classic and original stories.

As both Disney and Golden Films had relied on the same public domain source material, Disney ultimately lost the case. The Golden Films library also used classical music.
