Particularly during the 1990s, Golden Films became known for its numerous direct-to-video films based on fairy tales and stories that were also being made into much larger budget theatrical films by other studios at the same time. This prompted The Walt Disney Company to sue one of Golden Films's distributors after a string of Disney Renaissance-era films ended up in direct competition with Golden Films' less expensive productions on the home video market. As both Disney and Golden Films had relied on the same public domain source material, Disney ultimately lost the case. After the 1990s, the company ceased work on producing animated content, but they still remain in operation by distributing their content to other companies.
