As part of Seagram's buyout of MCA in 1995, the latter company's president Sidney Sheinberg, along with his sons Jon and Bill, started a Seagram-financed production company called '''The Bubble Factory''' with its first release being ''Flipper'' in 1996. Two years later, the company was severed from its parent company [[Universal Pictures]] (now a division of NBCUniversal) in the wake of a string of box-office failures. The company has since released films very sporadically. |

Background
As part of Seagram's buyout of MCA in 1995, the latter company's president Sidney Sheinberg, along with his sons Jon and Bill, started a Seagram-financed production company called The Bubble Factory with its first release being Flipper in 1996. Two years later, the company was severed from its parent company Universal Pictures (now a division of NBCUniversal) in the wake of a string of box-office failures. The company has since released films very sporadically.

- At the end of Slappy and the Stinkers, the print logo is seen on a black background.
