The FutureSplash animation technology was used on several notable websites such as MSN, the official The Simpsons website and Disney Daily Blast of The Walt Disney Company.
Developed by a joint venture between the Impress Group and the Watanabe Productions Group, the Web site provided videos from various content provider and producers, using software including RealPlayer, VDOlive Player, and FutureSplash (now Adobe Flash.) The service started in the end of the 1990s, hence the low-quality streaming videos to accommodate the Internet users mostly connecting via dial-up service.
