The Kushner-Locke Company

The Kushner-Locke Company was an American independent motion picture/television production founded in March 12, 1983 by Donald Kushner and Peter Locke.

It is known for films such as The Adventures of Pinocchio, Liberace: Behind the Music, Basil, But I'm a Cheerleader, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Freeway, Nutcracker: The Motion Picture and Teen Wolf. Kushner-Locke also produces animated films such as The Brave Little Toaster series and Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw.

In 2001, Kushner-Locke filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and has operated under this stature since then. In November of that same year, Artisan Entertainment (now owned by Lions Gate Entertainment) acquired the North American sales rights to its more than 300 titles.
