The Playtone Company (stylized on-screen as PLAY•TONE; a.k.a. Playtone Productions) is an American film and television production company established on January 23, 1998 by actor Tom Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman, and based in Santa Monica, California.
The company was named after the fictional record company of the same name in the 1996 film That Thing You Do!, written and directed by Hanks; it also uses the same company logo, typically revealed on-screen with a brief instrumental snippet of the titular song itself, with some variations in each film depending on subject matter. The success of the film served as a spring-board to launch an actual Playtone Records label that year, with its first release being the film's soundtrack.
