20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox) is an American film studio currently owned by The Walt Disney Company. The studio was formed in 1935 due to a merger between Fox Film Corporation and 20th Century Pictures, which were founded in 1915 and 1933 respectively. They distributed Thomas & Friends DVDs in the United States and Canada from the ninth to eleventh series on behalf of HiT Entertainment from 2006 until 2008, after which video distribution in the US and Canada was moved to Lionsgate.

The company also operated a channel named FOX Family from 1998 to 2001, which aired reruns of Shining Time Station as well as Storytime with Thomas and Mister Moose's Fun Time, which both featured Thomas stories as a regular segment.
