New GoAnimate The Movie (1995 film)

New GoAnimate the Movie is a 1995 American Flash animated comedy film made by Cianan Irvine. This film was released on January 5, 1995 by Walt Disney Pictures in the US and Columbia Pictures Internationally. This is also one of the first GoAnimate films to be released on home media digitally instead of 35mm filmed (although the trailers and 1995 and 2000 VHS's were filmed in 35mm). Because of the success of this film grossing over $500 million worldwide it spawned a sequel in 1999 titled New GoAnimate The Sequel. One more thing about this film is it's one of the first GoAnimate films to ever gross over $500 million worldwide. In 2016, the digital remastered 4K HD 1080p version of the film was released on YouTube by Cianan Irvine himself. This is also the first ever full length movie made in flash. The first trailer was released in 1993 when the movie was original slated for a 1994 release by Miramax Family Films until Walt Disney Pictures (United States/Canada/Japan) and Columbia Pictures (International) got rights to the film. The trailers of the film were filmed in 35mm (including the 1997 UK DVD and VHS on the film itself).
