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 ( | 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. | ||

*The 1941 and 2004 byline versions are only supposed to be used on ''Barney'' and ''Wakko's Clues''. However, they accidentally appeared on Hey Arnold!: The Movie, several Tom and Jerry cartoons and the Teen Titans Go! episode, The Streak. | |||

'''Trivia:''' This logo appears on the original Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment DVD releases of ''The Avengers'' and ''Iron Man 3'', alongside the Marvel logo and in place of the current WDSHE logo. This is because The Walt Disney Company (owner of the films' production company Marvel Studios) and Viacom came to an agreement for the films' distribution to transfer from Paramount Pictures to Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, but Paramount still had two films left in their six-movie contract with Marvel. So, Paramount's logo would appear on the films and promotional material for legacy credit. | '''Trivia:''' This logo appears on the original Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment DVD releases of ''The Avengers'' and ''Iron Man 3'', alongside the Marvel logo and in place of the current WDSHE logo.
