History
Movieclips was founded in 2009 as a division of online video company Zefr, as a web database which let you search through a library of over 12,000 movie clips.[3][4] The company's goal was to promote the discovery of movies. In partnership with Google and funding lead by MK Capital, Movieclips uploaded over 20,000 clips in 2011 to YouTube from movies chosen by a team of content curators.[5] In 2014, Movieclips was acquired by Fandango and was renamed "Fandango Movieclips."[3] Fandango Movieclips was then rebranded to "Rotten Tomatoes Movieclips" in summer of 2022 to further establish the channel's reliable use for movie clips and trailers using the recognition associated with the Rotten Tomatoes website.[6]
