Celebrating Our 30 Year Legacy
For 30 years we’ve been bringing to life iconic characters and setting the scene for stories which have captivated audiences. We’ve come a long way since completing the restoration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the early 1990s and we’ve changed beyond all recognition. What’s stayed the same is our passion for film-making and story-telling.
Over the coming weeks we will be placing content, articles and stories about Cinesite’s past, present and future on this page. We’re also sharing a timeline which shows our landmark moments so we can look back on our journey as we look to our future.
None of this would have been possible without the support of so many wonderful people along the way. Cheers and thank you!
