One of Parrot Film Co.’s former logos.

Since 1924, Parrot Film Co. has been providing advertising to local movie theaters throughout the United States. Many changes have occurred since that time when advertisements were made by writing backwards on glass slides. Parrot now has a staff of artists that produce animated advertisements both digitally and on rolling stock.

Parrot Film Co. is serving well over 400 theater screens throughout the United States. Many of these screens are long-standing relationships that have existed since the company was purchased by its current owner in 1984.
