Starting in the 2020s, Disney would begin to phase out operations of their home media distribution unit around the world; in July 2023, the company announced that it would no longer release physical media in Australia and New Zealand due to declining sales of releases and shifting to streaming. Then on October 1, 2023, Disney content began to be distributed via home video under exclusive license by Elevation Sales (a British home video joint venture between [[StudioCanal]] and [[Lionsgate]]) in the UK. Finally, on February 20, 2024, Disney announced that their DVD and Blu-ray output in North America will now be distributed by [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]], ending Disney's 45-year run as a first-party home video distributor. The first Disney release to be distributed by Sony will be ''The First Omen'', a [[20th Century Studios Home Entertainment]] title, set for release on July 30. Just over a month earlier, on June 24, [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment]] and [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]] started distributing Disney and Sony titles through their Studio Distribution Services joint venture, though Disney titles will still be available exclusively through Sony. | Starting in the 2020s, Disney would begin to phase out operations of their home media distribution unit around the world; in July 2023, the company announced that it would no longer release physical media in Australia and New Zealand due to declining sales of releases and shifting to streaming.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a large, light blue outline of Mickey Mouse's silhouette (which is identical to the one used in the [[Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday]] logo) appears and pans forward, leaving a trail of multiple outlines while rotating counter clockwise on its pivot. The outlines then start to change one-by-one to dark blue. As the text "Walt Disney" (in the original signature script, as used on ''The Wonderful World of Disney'') writes itself on-screen, the Mickey outlines one-by-one change to red. The outlines again change to golden yellow, then quickly change to light yellow as the words "{{font|serif|Home Entertainment}}" zoom up and settle underneath off-center. Finally, the Mickey outlines one-by-one change to green before the logo fades out. | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, a large, light blue outline of Mickey Mouse's silhouette (which is identical to the one used in the [[Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday]] logo) appears and pans forward, leaving a trail of multiple outlines while rotating counter clockwise on its pivot.
