Soapbox Films was a California-based production company established in 2002 and was operational through 2024.
As early as 2008, the company worked with the Muppets Studio to produce various types of media, from the earliest Muppet viral videos for YouTube to commercial spots to television series such as The Muppets.
They also worked on live events, notably The Muppets Take the Bowl and The Muppets Take the O2. Soapbox's creative director/vice president Andrew Williams and staff writer Matthew Barnette co-scripted both shows with Kirk Thatcher and Jim Lewis, and Williams co-directed with Thatcher.
For Muppets Now, Soapbox staffers received credit as story team members, including Marcos Gabriel (executive creative director), Matthew Barnette, Noah Smith (creative executive assistant to CEO), Joanna Truman (creative director), and Jamilyn Rosales (creative coordinator).
Soapbox additionally produced promotional material for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.
