'''Sunbow Entertainment''' is an American animation studio, founded in 1980 and owned up until 1998 by Griffin-Bacal Advertising in New York. The first animation efforts by Griffin-Bacal were producing the animated commercials for Hasbro's ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' toy line. The success of the animated commercials led partners Tom Griffin and Joe Bacal to form Sunbow Productions. One of Sunbow's most well known productions is the long running syndicated series ''[[The Great Space Coaster]]'', and perhaps their least-known is ''[[The Brothers Flub]]''.
 
Sunbow is noted for many cartoons aired during the 1980s. Although it is not limited to Hasbro's various toy line products its reputation is tied to the many cartoon series tied to them. Its animation was initially produced by the Japanese animation studio [[Toei Animation]], supplemented by the South Korean animation studio [[AKOM]] later on. By 1988, most of Hasbro's toylines were losing money and various internal struggles forced the company to end popular series such as ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[The Transformers (animation)|The Transformers]]''. Two of Sunbow's animated movies, (''[[Transformers: The Movie]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony]]: The Movie'') flopped at the box office, forcing a third project, ''[[G.I. Joe]]: The Movie'', to be released directly to video instead.
