 ===Background===
+'''GFM Animation''' (formerly known as '''GFM Films''' or '''GFM Film Sales''') was founded by former [[HandMade Films]] principals '''G'''uy Collins, '''F'''red Hedman and '''M'''ichael Ryan in March 2011.
-'''HandMade Films''' is a production company founded by former Beatle George Harrison and business partner Denis O'Brien. It was formed primarily to back Monty Python's ''Life of Brian'' after the original financiers dropped it. It also purchased the rights to ''The Long Good Friday'' from producer [[British Lion Films (UK)|British Lion]]. HandMade later became one of the most dominant companies in the British film industry, making such important films as ''Time Bandits'' (1981), ''Mona Lisa'' (1986), and ''Withnail & I'' (1987). Harrison and O'Brien later sold HandMade to [[Paragon Entertainment Corporation (Canada)|Paragon Entertainment Corporation]] in 1994. Changing hands over the years, it was eventually acquired by Patrick Meehan, former manager of the band Black Sabbath. The company saw a lot of financial struggles during that time, and in March 2011, it was reorganised and relaunched as '''GFM Films''' (now known as '''GFM Animation''' or '''GFM Film Sales''') by former HandMade Films principals '''G'''uy Collins, '''F'''red Hedman and '''M'''ichael Ryan. After the on-going financial struggles of the former name, it was finally dissolved in 2020.

-'''Logo:''' On a black background, an emblem zooms into the frame. It consists of a hand pointing to the left with film camera parts (a tripod at the bottom, reel holders at the top and the lens on the pointing finger), and below it, the words "<font face="Times">HAND MADE FILMS</font>", in a fancy font and looking rather curved. Usually, the word "present" or "PRESENTS" fades in below.
