Promenade Pictures is a motion picture production company founded in 2003 by Frank Yablans, the former head of Paramount Pictures and of MGM/UA. The stated goal of the company is the creation of family-friendly films [1].

In 2007, the company released its first film, an animated version of The Ten Commandments. It is the first in their "Epic Stories of the Bible" series.[2] The followup, scheduled for release in 2008, is Noah's Ark - The New Beginning. Another film, Gideon's Gift, based on the novel by Karen Kingsbury, is also scheduled for release in 2008.

The Note, a made-for-television film, was broadcast on the Faith and Values Network in December of 2007.[3]

Promenade partners with New Zealand-based Huhu Studios and Singapore-based iVL Animation.
