SF Studios, previously known as Swedish Film Industry (Swedish: AB Svensk Filmindustri) and SF Film before 2016, is a Swedish film and television production and distribution company. The largest film studio in Sweden, it was formed in 1919 through a merger between AB Svenska Biografteatern and Skandia FilmbyrÄ AB. It distributed Thomas & Friends VHS tapes and DVDs in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, many of which were branded as Children's Favourites (Swedish: Barnens Favoriter) prior to 2016. They also released Children's Favorites compilation DVDs which featured Thomas episodes alongside other HiT Entertainment shows, similar to the HiT Children's Favourites DVDs from the UK and Australia.
Starting in 2017, their Thomas releases were branded as SF Kids.
