Glass Ball Productions

Glass Ball Productions (also known as Glass Ball Animation or Glass Ball Studios, commonly referred to as Glass Ball) is an American live-action/animation studio established on December 21, 1988 and based in North Hollywood, California, as well as its other offices at Burbank. A division label of Gingo Entertainment, the studio produces live-action as well as animated films and television shows (including the animated series TeenV) with more mature themes and darker tones that are targeted to adult audiences, than those released under the studio's main Gingo Animation banner. As such, Glass Ball Productions was a pseudonym brand for the studio, and does not exist as a distinct business operation. Glass Ball has produced five theatrically released films starting with The TeenV Movie in 2003, its most recent release being Havoc on the Planet of the Apes in 2019. As of 2005, Glass Ball is the in-house production arm of NightHouse, the adult programming block on Gingo TV. In a similar manner to Gingo Animation (which has a long-running partnership with its former parent company Universal Pictures), Glass Ball is primarily associated with 20th Century Fox (now part of The Walt Disney Company), but also with some other studios such as Columbia Pictures.
