(Canon to Fox Kids Lives!!! AU) Press space or click the logo. We now get into Fox's indie studio, Fox 2000 Pictures! Short history: Fox 2000 Pictures was initially founded as a production label within 20th Century Fox (then part of News Corp USA) in 1995. The label initially produced films for more niche audiences. As it was initially a production label, its titles were distributed by 20th Century Fox, New World Pictures & Fox Searchlight Pictures. Although, 20th Century Fox handled distribution for most Fox 2000 Pictures films. In 2000, AOL, Inc. would merge with News Corp USA forming AOL News Corp. Fox 2000 Pictures would become a distributor in the same year, focusing primarily on distributing independent films. It continued to act as a production company, financing some indie films. AOL News Corp's name was altered in 2007 to News Corp AOL. News Corp AOL later changed its name to Fox Media in 2013 as a way to emphasize its flagship assets which included 20th Century Fox, which owns Fox 2000 Pictures.
