Starting in 2013, Duncan Rouleau (The person who works at Scratch Pictures) made a joint venture between Argosy Productions and the company got called "Argosy-Scratch Media" to produced animated shows, movies, and shorts so far, but it is still also called Scratch Pictures. As of February 2014, Gobo Productions (now Gobo Films) made another joint venture between Scratch Pictures.
