The John Ashu Company

The John Ashu Company (Also credited as Dublin Creative Associates for TV Shows unrelated to the Bolderie franchise) is an Irish-British Media Company which is a Division of Japanese holding company Bollard Studios. 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 The John Ashu Company as John felt that the name Doorbell Marina no longer suited this company.

In January 30, 2022, John annouced that The John Ashu Company will acquire The Walt Disney Company for £507.000 but after 5 days of ownership, he was forced to sell it back to its owner but kept the rights to the Jetix's brand, the Blue Sky Studio and most of the Saban Entertainment projects and characters that were acquired by Disney, including getting all of the Muppet projects made before 2004 (with the exception of many Muppets project that weren't aquired by Disney, Muppet Treasure Island. The Muppet Christmas Carol and Bear in the Big Blue House), nearly all of the pre-2019 20th Century Studios libraries and most of the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts that are not retained by Universal (The John Ashu Company also acquired the rights to the pre-2005 DreamWorks Pictures movies, Streaming and Distribution rights to all future and past Terrytoons projects, almost all of the Famous Studios/Fleischer Studios cartoons and characters that didn't enter the public domain, the rights to Rotten Ralph, all of the Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy films that did not enter public domain and nearly all of the Cosgrove Hall Films libraries). After the acquisitions, John founded Ashu Classics (later named Dublin Classics) to manage the entire characters and libraries.

A day after, John annouced plans to revive the French production comapny that originally produced Mr. Men and Little Miss, Marina Productions (in which Mediatoon Distribution will own 25%) and turning it into an animation studio. In March 17, 2022, Matthew Corbett announced that The John Ashu Company will no longer do business in Russia due to their invasion of Ukraine.

In April 30, 2022, The John Ashu Company and France 3 Cinéma jointly acquired Paroko Pamoto Imagination from BBC Studios. A month later. The John Ashu Company Acquired Random House's stake of Pogo Inc. and Ponpose Worldwide.
