The John Ashu Company

Bollard Studios is an International and Irish-British Media Coporation and Production Company. This company is known for the Bolderie Media Universe.

History
This company first started as Thrower Entertainment until it was changed to Doorbell Media due to legal issues with Star Thrower Entertainment. After a few months later, the "Media" was changed to "Marina" since there's already a company called Doorbell Media. Months later, it was changed to it's current name Bollard Studios as John felt that the name Doorbell Marina no longer suited this company.

In January 20, 2022, John annouced that Bollard Studios will aquire The Walt Disney Company and Paramount Global for £50007.000 but after 12 days of ownership, he decided to sell them both back to their owners but kept the rights to the Blue Sky Studio and Saban Entertainment projects and characters that were aquired by Disney, including getting UK & Ireland distribution rights to all of the Muppet projects made before 2004 (with the exception of Muppet Treasure Island. The Muppet Christmas Carol and Bear in the Big Blue House) and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts that were produced by Walt Disney, as well as the rights to the pre-2005 DreamWorks Pictures movies, distribution rights to the Terrytoons projects and almost all of the Famous Studio/Fleischer Studios cartoons and characters that were still owned by Paramount Pictures. After the acquisitions, John founded Ashu Classics to manage the entire characters and libraries. A day after, John annouced plans to make his own streaming channel, Bollard+ and reviving the French animation studio that originally produced Mr. Men and Little Miss, Marina Productions (in which Mediatoon Distribution will own 25%). In March 17, 2022, Matthew Corbett announced that Bollard Studios will no longer do business in Russia due to their invasion of Ukraine.
