Sesame Street: Friends to the Rescue

Kidtoon Films is a distributor of children's animated films in the United States. The company is a subsidiary of The Bigger Picture, itself owned by Cineverse, which acquired their founding parent company, SD Entertainment, in 2007, the latter of which produced many of its earlier releases. The company is based in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. Titles released under Kidtoon's program have an MPAA G rating, use Dolby Digital and/or DTS (and sometimes SDDS) tracks, and are shown digitally during weekend morning matinées at cinemas owned by National Amusements (Showcase Cinemas, Multiplex Cinemas, and Cinema de Lux), California's UltraStar, Carmike Cinemas, Rave Cinemas, B&B Theatres, Dipson Theatres, Emagine Entertainment, Studio Movie Grill and some smaller chains and independent cinemas. Due to New Kideo acquiring Kidtoon Films in January 2013, the program took a 4-year hiatus. In February 2016, the program returned to 18 Showcase Cinemas locations with the film Barbie Spy Squad.
