Background

Sooty Films was a company owned by Matthew Corbett that held all intellectual property rights to the Sooty franchise that Matthew's dad, Harry Corbett, created in the 1950's.

In 1996, in order to prepare for his retirement from the franchise, Matthew sold the franchise over to the Global Rights Development Fund, who formed Sooty International Limited. The Sooty Films name remained as a subsidiary.
