However, like [[United International Pictures]], Buena Vista International is still active as in-name-only in some developing countries such as Latin America, and parts of South Africa. The label is also used as an international distributor of films made by independent studios and a distributor of films made in foreign countries. It remains the only active unit of The Walt Disney Company to still retain the Buena Vista brand name (although Buena Vista Home Entertainment is still used as a legal disclaimer on Disney/20th Century/Searchlight/Marvel/Lucasfilm releases in the United States only [ | When the Buena Vista name was phased out in favor for the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures branding around 2007, international distribution in most countries went through the Disney branding and its subsidiaries (Miramax, Touchstone, etc).
