There were quite a few production companies involved in The Sixth Sense. Let's take 'em one by one.

Hollywood Pictures

It doesn't exist anymore, but Hollywood Pictures was a division of Disney that offered more mature films than the typical Mouseketeer crowd could handle. Its resume was super long and diverse, but a few highlights include:

• G.I. Jane (1997)—the one with Demi Moore in the military
• The Rock (1996)
• American Werewolf in Paris (1997)
• Evita (1996)
• Nixon (1995)
• While You were Sleeping (1995)
• Super Mario Brothers (1993)
• Swing Kids (1993)
• Arachnophobia (1990)

Seriously, that's just a handful, but it gives you a pretty good sense of the mix: there were dramas, romantic comedies, action films, historical dramas…you name it. There was even a movie based on a 1980s videogame. Basically, if you were going to the movies in the '90s, you probably saw a lot of this guy.

Alas, they shut down, but clearly not without leaving a long, weird string of films for us to enjoy.

Spyglass

Spyglass Entertainment, another Sixth Sense producer, is still very much alive. In fact, The Sixth Sense was produced very early in its history. The company's resume isn't quite as long as Hollywood Pictures', but also shows an interesting mix of films, offering up fare ranging from 2001's Unbreakable (another Willis/Shyamalan project) and Bruce Almighty (2003) to Seabiscuit (2003), The Legend of Zorro (2005), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), and Get Him to the Greek (2010).

As they say in Minnesota, not too bad.

Kennedy/Marshall

Now on to producer #3 (man, how many production companies does it take to make a film already?): proud owners of five Oscar noms, Kennedy/Marshall.

Same spiel as the other two: we're looking at a long and varied filmography that includes action (Jurassic World, the awesome Bourne franchise), drama (Sully, Munich), history (Lincoln), and animation (The BFG). It was also a production company for a couple of Shyamalan's other films (The Last Airbender and Signs). Before forming their company, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg.

We're guessing you've heard of the guy.

Barry Mendel Productions

We think we can see the finish line…and standing there is Barry Mendel Productions, the fourth and final producer on The Sixth Sense. Its production resume isn't super long, but Barry Mendel himself has definitely worked as a producer on more than a few hits and other projects of note, including Bridesmaids (2011) and Serenity (2005); Shyamalan's Unbreakable (2000); and a couple of quirky Wes Anderson films (are there any other kind of Wes Anderson films?), like Rushmore, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Whew—that's all of them.

You probably get the picture by now: it takes a village to make a movie. The Sixth Sense had a whole lot of experience and talent working on the production side.
