Allspark

Allspark, formerly known as Hasbro Studios, LLC, was an American production and distribution company owned by toy and multimedia company Hasbro and based in Burbank, California that was in operation from 2009 to 2019. Originally just a television division, many of its shows were based on Hasbro properties and were broadcast on multiple media platforms, including Hasbro's joint venture Discovery Family.

Allspark Pictures was Allspark's live-action production label, while Allspark Animation was its animation production label. Cake Mix Studio was the company's Rhode Island–based producer of commercials and short form content.

Production and distribution of film and television content based on Hasbro properties shifted to Entertainment One (or eOne for short) following its acquisition by Hasbro on December 30, 2019 and under the leadership of Entertainment One president Darren Throop, president of family brands Olivier Dumont and former HBO head of programming Michael Lombardo. As a result, Allspark was absorbed into Entertainment One. However, in late-2022, Hasbro announced their intent to sell eOne with companies such as Fremantle (who dropped out of the bid), Lionsgate, Legendary, CVC Capital Partners and GoDigital Media Group bidding for the acquisition, a transaction that would place the distribution rights to the Allspark library and newer content back to Hasbro. It was ultimately decided that on August 3, 2023, Lionsgate announced that it would acquire Entertainment One for $500 million. The deal closed on December 27, 2023 and Entertainment One got renamed to Lionsgate Canada on June 7, 2024.

In August 2023, Hasbro announced a new banner titled Hasbro Entertainment. Provided by Wikipedia
