Latest revision as of 03:48, 6 August 2023
One of the world's largest producers of film, television, and video game entertainment, most famous for Looney Tunes. Pronounced "Warner Brothers". Known as "Warner Bros.-Seven Arts" between 1967 and 1970.
Its Vanity Plate is the WB shield.
There used to be a Fanfare as its logo theme, but unlike Twentieth Century Fox, it never caught on, and was used irregularly to begin with. Its current (as of the mid-2010s) theme is the instrumental version of "As Time Goes By" from the movie Casablanca, one of the company's greatest films.
Not to be confused with the Warner Brothers (OR the Warner Sister).
The once-separate New Line Cinema has, since 2008, been a subdivision of WB, which explains why its notable films are listed here. (It was inherited from Turner Broadcasting System upon Time Warner's purchase of that company in 1996, and operated as autonomously from WB as it could up to that point.)
