History
It opened in 2001[1] as a joint venture of Italian holding company DeAgostini and Spanish mass media holding Grupo Planeta with the initial intent of primarily focusing on the Spanish and Portuguese (Iberian) markets.[2][3] Both groups had already joined forces with the publishing house Planeta DeAgostini. According to president Maurizio Carlotti, it was born out as a split from Planeta 2010.[4] Upon the time of the company's rollout, its distribution arm in Spain included DeAPlaneta Home Video, Planeta Junior, Planeta D, while its production arm consisted of film production outfit Cometa PC and TV-movie production outfit Prodigius, a joint venture with Mediapro.[2] In 2003, DeAPlaneta and Mikado created Argentinian production outfit KDM Films along with Oscar Kramer.[5]
In August 2004, DeAPlaneta and German media company EM.TV & Merchandising had expanded their joint venture production company Planeta Junior into Italy through Italian publishing company De Agostini.[6]
In April 2006, the company announced the launch of an international sales division.[7]
In March 2019, DeAPlaneta's subsidiary Planeta Junior announced the merging of its European operations into one production organisation with Planeta Junior will shift their focus into France.[8]
In December 2021, DeAPlaneta and Planeta Junior announced the merging of the two companies including DeAPlaneta's division DeAPlaneta Kids & Families together into one production and distribution company by renaming DeAPlaneta into a new name called DeAPlaneta Entertainment as part of their strategic reorganisation with the rebranded company will focus on three genre cores[9]
In January 2023, DeAPlaneta Entertainment acquired the film & television catalogue of Madrid-based Spanish animation production studio BRB Interactional in order for DeAPlaneta Entertainment to expand their children's entertainment portfolio.[10]
