The Harvey Entertainment Company (formerly known as Harvey Films and Harvey Entertainment, or simply Harvey, and later named Sunland Entertainment Co.) was the production arm of comic book publisher Harvey Comics. It was founded in 1957.[1][2]
A majority of the company's assets were purchased by Classic Media (currently owned by NBCUniversal via DreamWorks Animation) in 2001 under the in-name subsidiary Harvey Entertainment, Inc., while the remains of the business including the live-action film division were folded within Echo Bridge Entertainment.
