'''Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank''' is a major [[filmmaking]] facility owned and run by [[Warner Bros.|Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.]] in Burbank, [[California]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://studiofacilities.warnerbros.com/|title=Warner Bros.

The First National studio, as it was then known, became the official home of Warner Bros.–First National Pictures with four [[sound stages]].<ref name=guide>{{cite book|title=Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood Official Guide|page=22|year=2015|publisher=Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.}}</ref> By 1937, Warner Bros. had all but closed the Sunset studio, making the Burbank lot its main headquarters—which it remains to this day. Eventually, Warner dissolved the First National company and the site has often been referred to as simply '''Warner Bros. Studios''' since. The studio runs public backlot tours that offer visitors the chance to glimpse behind the scenes of one of the oldest film studios in the world ([[Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood]]).

In 1999, [[Cartoon Network Studios]], a division of [[Warner Bros.]] took up residence in an old commercial bakery building located on North 3rd Street when it separated its production operations from [[Warner Bros. Animation]] in [[Sherman Oaks]]. On April 15, 2019, it was announced that [[Warner Bros.]] will sell [[Warner Bros. Ranch]], another one of its facilities to Worthe Real Estate Group and Stockbridge Real Estate Fund as part of a larger real estate deal to be completed in 2023 which will see the studio get ownership of [[The Burbank Studios]] in time to mark its 100th anniversary.<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 15, 2019|title=Warner Bros. plans to buy Burbank Studios and occupy new Frank Gehry 'iceberg' towers|url=https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-warner-bros-burbank-studios-gehry-design-ranch-sale-20190415-story.html|access-date=April 20, 2021|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US}}</ref>
