'''Great Oaks Entertainment''' was a short-lived production company that was founded in 1995 as a merger between John Hughes's [[Hughes Entertainment]] and Ricardo Mestres Productions. It was based at Disney Studios in Los Angeles. It only produced three films, ''Jack'' (from [[Hollywood Pictures]]) and the remakes of ''101 Dalmatians'' and ''Flubber'', both of which belonged to the Disney library. All three of the films from the studio received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, but were box-office successes, and it was closed down in 1997 and was folded into [[Walt Disney Pictures]].
