Universal Pictures Celebrates 100 Years of Movie Memories with Yearlong Centennial Celebration

Universal marked its 100th anniversary in 2012, and commemorated its centennial with a yearlong celebration honoring the studio's rich film history and cultural legacy.

The campaign drew its inspiration from Universal's extraordinary and diverse library of films, many of which were highlighted throughout the year, and was designed to engage fans of all ages in the art of movie-making.

A significant element of the centennial included the extensive restoration of thirteen of the studio's most beloved titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird, All Quiet on The Western Front, Jaws, The Sting, Out of Africa, Frankenstein, and Schindler's List.

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment kicked off the celebration in January 2012 with a special 50th anniversary release of To Kill a Mockingbird, debuting on Blu-ray for the first time ever.

Throughout the year, Universal paid tribute to other influential films in the Universal library with special events and Blu-ray releases of such iconic classics as Jaws and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial which celebrated its 30th anniversary.
