Warner Bros. Pictures is the main motion picture production arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and was founded in 1918. Over the years, a series of mergers and acquisitions have helped Warner Bros. (the present-day Time Warner subsidiary) to accumulate a diverse collection of movies, cartoons, and television programs. In the aftermath of the 1948 antitrust suit, uncertain times led Warner Bros. in 1956 to sell most of its pre-1950 films and cartoons to a holding company which became Associated Artists Productions (a.a.p.). Two years later, a.a.p. was sold to United Artists (UA), which held them until 1981, when MGM bought UA. Three years later, Turner Broadcasting System, having failed to buy MGM, settled for ownership of the MGM/UA library. This included almost all pre-1986 MGM features with the exception of those owned by United Artists (i.e. James Bond franchise) Previously owned by HiT Entertainment/Lyric Studios, and Playhouse Disney, since 2007, Warner Bros. now owns the rights to produce The Wiggles with the first production "Getting Strong" DVD and "Pop Goes the Wiggles" and future DVDs.
