20th Century Fox
- This article is about the organisation which owns the companies that distribute Futurama. For other uses, see Fox.
Twentieth Century Studios, formerly Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, often known simply as 20th Century Studios, is an American film studio currently owned by The Walt Disney Company. It is the parent company of the entities most directly involved with the creation of Futurama, including 20th Century Fox Television (production), 20th Television (syndication). Until 2019, it was under the same ownership as the Fox Broadcasting Company (broadcaster from 1999 to 2003), which has since been spun-off into the Fox Corporation.
As 20th Century Fox, the studio was often confused for the network, as well as parts of its production companies, which can be attributed to the use of it's own production logo for different entities, which develops into the confusion of these names.
