ABOUT
"Heroes Live Here"
Not just any heroes, but the true heroes. The heroes of the past were authentic role models, defined by moral character, integrity, and a sense of purpose that inspired generations. Somewhere along the way, the industry lost sight of this, lowering the bar to where even the "good guys" are being rewritten into something unrecognizable—characters that lack the noble qualities that once made them legendary. And the results speak for themselves—audiences aren’t buying into it, literally or figuratively.
What we behold, we become. That’s why we’re taking a stand. It’s time to make a choice: the crude, compromised heroes of today or the Golden Era heroes who stood for something greater. We will win—because it’s not just a mission, it’s a responsibility. It’s time to Hero Up. Our heroes aren’t part of the Comic 1.0 era’s moral decline. Our heroes embody the spirit of the classics, deliberately restoring the Golden Age with compelling storytelling and dazzling extras. No apologies. No compromises.
THE MAKIMONO HERO OATH
"I promise to live each day with purpose, knowing that life will bring both triumphs and challenges. To the best of my ability, I will be a true friend—to my family, my friends, and myself. I will strive to take care of my body, act with integrity, and serve others with an earnest and sincere heart. I vow to never give up or quit when it comes to doing what is right. No matter the obstacles I face, I will stand tall, unwavering in faith, knowing that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. With God as my helper and friend, I will always choose the path of honor."

A PLEDGE ON CONTENT
FOR PARENTS AND READERS
We use the Motion Picture Academy Guidelines as a starting point for our content. However, we are stricter than they are as we do not allow any nudity, sex scenes or vulgar language in any of our titles. PG Films today allow these things and we do not. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards glorifying drug use or criminal behavior in any of our titles. Violence is restricted to the level you would see in films from the 1960s such as GOLDFINGER or LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, essentially we believe this to define PG Material.
We believe we can tell stories that will entertain readers of all ages without resorting to elements beyond this PG or PG-13 rating. Our G-Rated Titles are truly all ages appropriate with violence levels equal to that of a vintage Bugs Bunny cartoon.
