Archiplex Entertainment AG

Archiplex Entertainment AG is a German home video division of Funlight Entertainment. The studio is notable for distribution on German-language DVDs, and is well-known for being the German distributor of LDF Enterprises content.

## History

In 2016, Mitchy Beausejour founded Archiplex Entertainment Group. Once there, he finds a way to make profit for distributing classic Looney Tunes cartoons from 1935-1943. After the company's downfall, Beausejour decided he would shut down AEG and he will start his own studio, Mitchy Beanson Enterprises to handle his distribution. He created a sister company named Raincoat Productions in March 2017; this time involving distribution with post-1953 Looney Tunes shorts. Beausejour would continue distribute the 1935-1943 shorts at the time.

Despite Beausejour acquiring the rights to Rangeltoons, Raincoat Productions and Mitchy Beanson Enterprises got shut down in 2017 and he would revive AEG as simply "Archiplex Entertainment". Beausejour then continues to make bigger profit by distributing all LDF properties nationwide.

On the other hand, Archiplex still continued to distribute Kyle & the Gang and other LDF projects after the studio transitioned from a large massive distribution to a smaller, similar space. With only a few options left, Beausejour decided to take on the action to keep secure of all the studio's facilities. Beausejour has previously announced on April 7th that he'll establish a revival of Seven-Arts, but the plans were eventually cancelled. Archiplex and LDF Enterprises had made a deal to own the whole property of the *Kyle & the Gang* series on April 9th. The two studios had been announced for absorbency on April 11th; with the date of May 7th taking place.

Days have flown by and Level Posey Home Entertainment was announced for entry in the Archiplex Entertainment family, with it being renamed "Cat Patterns Inc." on April 18th.

On May 7th, both Archiplex and LDF Enterprises were merged together and are operated by Top Hat Entertainment. On June 26th, 2018, Beausejour had announced that The Beanson Company would be Archiplex's replacement, which in turn is actually now called "Beanson Corporation" after GVisions Affiliates was purchased.

In the awakening of Beanson Corporation's Beanson Video company, Archiplex Entertainment was revived once again, this time as an in-name only unit in the Summer of 2018. It took until December 2019 for a full resurrection of the company to be announced. Likewise, Archiplex Entertainment AG was revived, and its German headquarters have operated.

## Distribution of LDF Enterprises content in Germany

Archiplex Entertainment AG originally owned the North American rights to *Rangeltoons/Kyle & the Gang* from LDF Enterprises from 2017 until 2019, where Kenzie Backlin Productions took over distribution. After the company's rights to all LDF content expired, Archiplex had already licensed the German-language rights to LDF Enterprises content. The first German-dubbed production ever released from the LDF Enterprises license was a dub of *Rangeltoons* that skipped over the first 8 episodes as well as two episodes that never got dubbed originally. This dub currently airs on DRT (a local German channel) as well as the remainder of the episodes that Funlight Entertainment had dubbed.
