'''Golden Books Family Entertainment''' was established by children's book publisher '''Golden Books''' as its home video unit, under the name [[Golden Book Video]]. Its earliest releases in the 1985-1986 timeframe were probably the most well-remembered, featuring adaptions of popular Golden Books using illustrations shot out of the books with limited animation effects added. They also released other children's entertainment videos, often under the "[[GoldenVision]]" and "[[Golden Step Ahead]]" names. In 1997, the newly formed Golden Books Family Entertainment acquired the family programming along with the [[Alan Enterprises]] library from [[Broadway Video]] and began releasing videos through [[Sony Wonder]]. On August 16, 2001, the assets of Golden Books were sold to [[Classic Media|Classic Media, L.L.C.]] (since acquired by [[Entertainment Rights|Entertainment Rights plc]], now Boomerang Media, L.L.C., and later [[DreamWorks Animation]] which was later brought by NBCUniversal in 2016) and [[Random House Home Video|Random House]] (which now continues Golden Books as a standalone imprint) in a bankruptcy court auction, with Classic Media acquiring the libraries and Random House acquiring the publishing division. Classic Media continued releasing the Golden Books Family Entertainment catalog through Sony Wonder until 2007, when it changed distributors to [[Genius Products]] after [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony BMG Music Entertainment]] shut down Sony Wonder, but was moved to [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] on June 21. The catalog was later transferred to [[Vivendi Entertainment]] (now "Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment") after Genius Products announced to exit the home entertainment business in 2009, and is now in the hands of [[Cinedigm Entertainment|Cinedigm]] after they merged Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment into [[Newvideo]]. | '''Golden Books Family Entertainment''' was established by children's book publisher '''Golden Books''' as its home video unit, under the name [[Golden Book Video]].
