Rembrandt Films is a Czech production company founded by American film producer William L. Snyder in 1949, and revived by Adam Snyder in 1995. It began as an importer of films from Europe and expanded into animated film production.
Gene Deitch directed for the company both his own films and cartoons outsourced from American studios such as MGM (Tom and Jerry), and King Features Syndicate (Popeye, Krazy Kat, Snuffy Smith and Beetle Bailey).{{cite web |url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/gene-deitch-cartoon-modernist-who-headed-upa-new-york-and-terrytoons-dies-at-95-189756.html |title=Gene Deitch, Cartoon Modernist Who Headed UPA New York And Terrytoons, Dies At 95 |publisher=Cartoon Brew |accessdate=April 26, 2020}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=faRJAQAAIAAJ|last=Culhane|first=Shamus|title=Talking Animals and Other People|pages=394|date=1998|publisher=Da Capo Press|isbn=9780306808302|accessdate=April 26, 2020|via=Google Books}}
