Threshold Entertainment Group makes live action movies (Mortal Kombat), animated movies (LEGO) and television (Blackbelt TV –The World’s Martial Arts TV network).

Threshold Entertainment Group consists of Threshold Entertainment, Threshold Animation Studios and Blackbelt TV.

Larry Kasanoff is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Threshold and its subsidiaries.

Threshold Entertainment makes live action feature films and then produces the IP from those films on multiple media platforms.

Threshold’s most prominent example of the success of this Intellectual Property Management model is Mortal Kombat, which Threshold produced – and made number one - in every medium in the world, including two blockbuster feature films, a TV series and Radio City Music Hall Live Stage show.

Threshold continues to make live action feature films and publish all the media surrounding them. The company is currently preparing a slate of six such films, focusing largely on sci-fi, fantasy and action.

Threshold Animation Studios makes family oriented computer generated animated films, television and location based entertainment, largely based on some of the biggest brands in the world, including , LEGO, MARVEL and STAR TREK.

Through a unique technology alliance with IBM, Threshold built one of the most advanced digital production facilities in the world. The companies jointly developed new technologies that help it improve the animation process, reduce the cost of production, and provide more creative control to both its directors and performers.
