Paramount Home Entertainment (formerly "Paramount Home Media Distribution", "Paramount Home Video", and "Paramount Video") is [[Paramount Pictures]]' home media division and was formed around 1978/1979 (some sources claim late 1975). The company owns the home media rights to films and shows owned by Paramount and shows from sister company ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks (under individual labels such as [[MTV Home Entertainment|MTV Home Video]] and other subsidiaries). The company also licenses the right to release material from CBS Corporation (now known as ViacomCBS) (such as [[CBS Studios]]/[[CBS Media Ventures]] and [[Showtime Networks]] material released through [[CBS Home Entertainment]], although [[CBS Films]] material is released by [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] and [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]]) and several independent studios. They formerly released DreamWorks Animation material through [[DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment]] until 2014, when the latter acquired distribution rights to their library and transferred the rights to [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]]. On September 27, 2011, Paramount Home Entertainment was renamed Paramount Home Media Distribution after merging with Paramount Digital and Television. Starting in 2012, the [[Republic Pictures]] library and select Paramount films were licensed to Olive Films and Kino Lorber. From 2013-2016, the company licensed the home media rights to most of the Paramount Pictures (with some exceptions) library to [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]]. Paramount continues to release licensed material and material from sister companies. In May 2019, Paramount Home Media Distribution was renamed back to Paramount Home Entertainment. | Paramount Home Entertainment (formerly "Paramount Home Media Distribution", "Paramount Home Video", and "Paramount Video") is [[Paramount Pictures]]' home media division and was formed around 1978/1979 (some sources claim late 1975).

<center><youtube width=240 height=185>j1x-dNQ0pX4</youtube></center> | |||
'''Nicknames:''' "Pittard Sullivan Mountain", "Unused CGI Mountain", "Millennium Mountain" | |||
'''Logo:''' Over a cloudy sunset background, we see a different CGI rendition of the famed Paramountain; it's covered with snow and ice, with the "Paramount" script and stars already formed on top of it, albeit without a byline. The camera slowly zooms in and rotates around the logo, showing us the back of the mountain as a lens flare flashes. | |||
'''Variant:''' Paramount adapted this logo for use in two trailers (see [[Logo Variations - Trailers - Paramount Pictures|here]] for more details). | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Excellent CGI that still holds up today, created by Pittard Sullivan. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic orchestral fanfare is heard throughout as Jim Cummings intones: | |||
* Early 1998: "In celebration of the end of one millennium and the dawn of another, Paramount Pictures is preparing to bring to movie lovers everywhere a collection of films that symbolize the best in its movie-making history..." | |||
* March or April 1998-1999: "...In celebration of the end of one century and the dawn of another...Paramount Pictures is proud to present a collection of films that symbolize the best in its movie-making history..." | |||
'''Availability:''' Rare. This was only ever used on Paramount's "Millennium Collection" video trailer, which can be seen on the VHS releases of ''In & Out'', ''Sliding Doors'', ''Hard Rain'', ''A Simple Plan'', ''Event Horizon'', ''Switchback'', ''Twilight'' (1998), and ''A Smile Like Yours''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' A fantastic CGI effort that sadly was never used on an actual movie (not counting its usage in trailers). | |||
