History

Second logo; used when the channel was under the title of "Fandango Movieclips."

Movieclips was founded in 2009 as a division of the online video company Zefr, beginning as a website which allowed the user to search through a library of over 12,000 movie clips.[3][4] In partnership with Google, Movieclips uploaded over 20,000 clips to YouTube in 2011.[5] In 2014, Movieclips was acquired by Fandango and was renamed "Fandango Movieclips."[3]

On October 16, 2018 (after the acquisition of NBCUniversal and DreamWorks Animation on August 22, 2016), Fandango Movieclips published the first two DreamWorks Animation films on the channel, How to Train Your Dragon and How to Train Your Dragon 2.[6]

Fandango Movieclips later rebranded to "Rotten Tomatoes Movieclips" on July 11, 2022.[7] Fandango Movieclips' last movie before the rebrand was From Here to Eternity (1953).
