History

In 1997 the company decided to change the name to Greenyworld Studios. Soon they created more of their own films, picked up the rights to the films they released with Carolco Pictures, Le Studio Canal, Concorde, Trimark Pictures and other film studios (except the films from other studios such as Disney, Touchstone, Miramax, and Dimension, and formerly Hollywood Pictures, who remains with the studios). They also picked up the rights to other film studios who were bankrupt and closed down. For the live action films they own they are released by Greeny-Guild a company launched by Greenyworld and Pathé. The following studios they own are...

However, in 2008, they acquired the film rights to the films GreenyWorld Studios produced with Hollywood Pictures, from The Walt Disney Company.

In August 2013, they said that the old GreenyWorld Studios logo should be replaced with a transparent logo with a words-only logo and start a 2nd generation of greenyworld studios, but the other regional companies' logo won't change, meanwhile in the LGMM movies, it will change after Atomic Holocaust 2.

In 1997, the company was sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment.

In May 2015, Stainton Enterprises announced to acquired and merge all studios, responsible for Greenytoons, to GreenyWorld Studios.

Currently, the studios worldwide are Greenyworld Studios Germany, Greenyworld Studios Poland, Greenyworld Studios Bulgaria, Greenyworld Studios Scandinavia and Nordic, Greenyworld Studios Czech Republic, Greenyworld Studios Greece, Greenyworld Studios Hungary, Greenyworld Studios Italy, GreenyWorld Studios South Korea, Greenyworld Studios Netherlands and Flanders, Greenyworld Studios Australia and New Zealand, Greenyworld Studios China, Greenyworld Studios India, Greenyworld Studios Pakistan, Greenyworld Studios Turkey, and GreenyWorld Studios Latin America. On June 2015, GreenyWorld Studios created Green Media Capital, a motion picture financing division, with offices located in Chicago, London and Paris. GreenyWorld Studios also created "GrePro Media Works", a brand used by all post-production services, VFX companies and other production services owned by GreenyWorld Studios. GreenyWorld Studios also announced to begin the acquisitions of European, African, Asian, Oceanian, Canadian and Latin American game development studios under GreenyWorld Interactive, starting in July 1, 2015.

On July 29, 2015, TurboPunch Ltd, (owners of ASDFmovie and Eddsworld) attempted a hostile takeover of the company as they announced that they would be buying 99% of the company and Stainton Enterprises, they would be owned by Turbo Punch on January 1, 2016, but only a lawsuit to stop the acquisition had started that same day. On July 31, 2015, TurboPunch Ltd announced that it had terminated its acquisition.

On November 4, 2015, GreenyWorld Studios sued Pakistani hacker group TeaM MaDLeeTs in a Pakistani court for hacking their website. The hacker group was forced to pay US$500,000,000 for defacement.

On December 9, 2015, Time Warner acquired 5% each from Sony Pictures and Fox Entertainment Group, while Stainton Enterprises also acquired 5% each from both Sony and Fox Entertainment Group. On December 24, 2015, for their upcoming film Dimensia, GreenyWorld Studios received funding, production support, and help from many companies.

On the same day, GreenyWorld Studios and Jordan Kerner announced to acquire Kerner's production company The Kerner Entertainment Company, and make it part of GreenyWorld Studios family. TKEC still operates as an independent entity, unlike most of GreenyWorld Studios, and will still work on non-Greeny Phatom films, however, TKEC announced to work on a live-action Greeny Phatom movie with GreenyWorld Studios, Industrial Light & Magic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and 20th Century Fox Animation.

On December 15, 2015, Stainton Enterprises announced, that because Greenyworld Studios Portugal, Greenyworld Studios Romania, Greenyworld Studios Slovakia, Greenyworld Studios Ireland, Greenyworld Studios Jamaica, Greenyworld Studios Iran, Greenyworld Studios South Africa, Greenyworld Studios Southeast Asia, and GreenyWorld Studios CIS and Southeastern Europe begin to focus more on animated television series, rather than on feature films and TV shows equally, these divisions are moved under The Greeny Channel Television Animation Group. On the same day, GreenyWorld Studios' TV operations were merged to The Greeny Channel Studios.

On January 2016, many employees left GreenyWorld's Japan, Mongolia, South Korea, Hong Kong & Macau, Philippines, Taiwan, and China studios to create an anime company Sharp Eye (operating in Osaka, Japan, and Los Angeles, USA), that, unlike other anime companies, animates own anime's episodes, in addition to dubbing and subbing others' anime series. The reason for this departure is undisclosed, but anonymous sources have said that the departure has something to do with the relationship between The Greeny Channel Studios and GreenyWorld Studios, being called "unfair to GWS".

That some month, GreenyWorld Studios rented out space in the Port Charlotte High School and created a Charlotte facility.

Because of the big departure, Greenyworld Studios Hong Kong and Macau, Greenyworld Studios Philippines, Greenyworld Studios Mongolia and Greenyworld Studios Taiwan suffered through the financial problems and had to be supplied with more money in May 2016.

On February 2016, acquired a 10% stake, and that day it was announced that Sharp Eye, along with GreenyWorld Studios, the Peter Rodgers Organization, and DHX Media would be making a new animated series based off the cult film The Dragonz!.

On March 2016, GreenyWorld Studios announced it's re-construction by and was said to be finished in late 2016. This move was rejected after several employees went on strike.
 * 1) re-branding itself back to Greeny Phatom Studios,
 * 2) moving the company operations and the studios to a proposed "independent parent company" founded by Stainton and Entertainment One,
 * 3) having the proposed company focus on distributing Greeny Phatom media through Greeny Phatom Studios, and using other brands for other genres,
 * 4) shrinking the Greeny Phatom Studios into a brand,

Facilities
The Utica, New York facility is housed in a large building at Robert Stainton's GreenyVille Ranch, on the outskirts of Utica, New York. The building was designed by Viennese architect (1928–2000). It was originally built for the Utica City School District, and went under the name of "Utica High Hills Special Needs School". The building was completely gutted and Friedensreich redesigned the interior when Robert took ownership. It also has deliberately uneven floors designed for their tactile effect on occupants' feet. There are no right angles or regular designs, except in the basement, and the food court style cafeteria (which operates as a McDonald's).

The Chicago, Illinois facility is a converted apartment complex, and has 120 floors.

The recently-opened Port Charlotte, Florida facility is in the Port Charlotte High School, and is known as Greenyworld Pirate Studios. A temporary GreenyBurger is located in the Pirate Champs' Cafe.
