'''Miramax Films''' was a former movie studio wholly owned by [[The Walt Disney Company]]. Miramax was originally founded in 1988 as an independent studio by film producers [[Bob Wienstein]] and [[Harvey Wienstein]] prior to being acquired by Disney in 1993. It was eventually shut down by Disney in 2010 following [[bankruptcy]] and in-house battles within the studio. Following the acquisition by Disney, the studio was notable for seeing the release of numerous controversial R-rated and NC-17-rated films including the ultra-violent ''[[Natural Born Killers]]'', ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]'' and ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' (the former of the two directed by liberal [[Quentin Tarantino]], as well as titles ultimately banned by Disney (due to their explicit and offensive nature) including ''[[Kids]]'' (1994) and ''[[Dogma]]'' (1998).
''Kids', a film which depicted underage teenagers engaging in obscene sexual activities, was just barely banned by Disney CEO [[Michael Eisner]] after much backlash, forcing Miramax heads the Wienstein brothers to establish an independent banner to release the film under, while ''Dogma'', director [[Kevin Smith]]'s anti-Catholic "comedy", was sold to [[Lions Gate Films]] by Disney thanks to action taken by Christian groups, such as [[The Catholic League]], who sent letters to Eisner advising Disney to drop the film.
