'''Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment''' began its life in 1978 through [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment#MCA_DiscoVision|MCA DiscoVision]] as "'''Walt Disney Home Entertainment'''". In 1980, [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] content was made available on videocassette under its own division known as "'''Walt Disney Home Video'''". Prior to 1981, their first releases were only live action films such as ''Pete's Dragon'' and ''The Love Bug''. Starting in 1981 with ''Dumbo'', they began releasing their animated films and cartoons on video. The Walt Disney Home Video name was kept until 2001, when it was once again named "'''Walt Disney Home Entertainment'''". Starting in the late 1990s, the company began producing DVDs, and in 2006, they started to release Blu-ray discs. Since 2007, it is known as "'''Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment'''". In July 2023, the company announced that it will no longer release any physical media in Australia and New Zealand due to declining sales of releases in those countries and shifting to streaming. | '''Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment''' began its life in 1978 through [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment#MCA_DiscoVision|MCA DiscoVision]] as "'''Walt Disney Home Entertainment'''".
