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).[1][2]

Rembrandt Films is now run by the son of William Snyder, Adam Snyder, and his wife Patricia Giniger Snyder. Rembrandt Films is an umbrella company for Rembrandt Communications, Rembrandt Animation and Rembrandt Video Productions. It conducts animation, video production, and business writing.
