Shout! Studios (previously known as Shout! Factory) is an entertainment company founded in 2003 by Richard Foos (co-founder of Creator/RhinoRecords), Bob Emmer (former Creator/WarnerMusicGroup and Rhino executive) and Garson Foos (former Rhino executive, and Richard's brother) initially as a specialty music label. It focuses on enriched music catalog reissues, home video/DVD projects, and television properties.

Conceived as a retro pop culture label, Shout! Factory DVD projects include:
* Live music shows (by acts such as Music/XUSBand, The Blasters, Music/{{Heart|Band}} and Music/BarenakedLadies
* Music documentaries (''The Fearless Freaks'', about the Music/FlamingLips, and ''The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle'', about the Music/SexPistols)
* Animation (including multiple ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' seasons, ''Animation/{{Pucca}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/CodeMonkeys'')
* Live-action television (''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'', ''Series/MySoCalledLife'', ''Inside The Actors' Studio'', ''Series/CaliforniaDreams'', ''Series/SmallWonder'', ''Franchise/PowerRangers''[[labelnote:*]] and ''Franchise/SuperSentai''[[/labelnote]] and ''Series/{{ALF}}'')
* Productions by Creator/DICEntertainment (including the [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic Mario]] television shows, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989 The Legend of Zelda]]'', the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' television shows and ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'')

* All of Creator/{{Laika}}'s films up to ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings''.

Shout! Factory has the home video rights to ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' (which was formerly distributed by Rhino) and is a producer for the 2017 revival series ''Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return''. They have a reputation for rereleasing obscure titles on DVD, and successfully securing seemingly unreleasable episodes of ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'', such as the ''Film/{{Gamera}}'' films and others licensed from Sandy Frank. Creator/SabanBrands granted Shout! the rights to distribute their {{tokusatsu}} adaptations, including the first 17 seasons of ''Franchise/PowerRangers''. When North American distribution of several Creator/StudioGhibli movies shifted from Creator/{{Disney}} to GKIDS, Shout! Factory distributed the home media re-releases. They had the home video rights to the Disney series ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', and Creator/{{Netflix}} and Creator/ProductionIG's ''Anime/BTheBeginning''[[note]]along with the [=YouTube=] streaming rights for the latter, sub-licensed from Anime Limited in the UK.[[/note]]. In 2020, they acquired the distribution rights to most of the Creator/StephenJCannell Productions catalog.

Shout! Factory CD and music DVD products are distributed by Creator/SonyMusicEntertainment. Beginning in June 2007, their nonmusic DVD titles are distributed by Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment.

Due to the sheer amount of content they have, they have their own free streaming service, [[http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/ Shout! Factory TV]], which can be accessed through apps of its own and via other streaming services like Creator/PlutoTV.

Shout! Studios, launched in 2017, is their arm focused on content development, such as theatrical distribution for films and producing original television programming.
