'''Buena Vista Home Entertainment''' (formerly '''Buena Vista Home Video''') was created in 1984 to release non-Disney-related videos not covered by the other Disney units, primarily third-party product licensed to them for home release, including concerts, documentaries, [[Jay Ward Productions|Jay Ward]] (''Rocky & Bullwinkle'') and [[Bagdasarian Productions|Bagdasarian]] (''Alvin and the Chipmunks'') cartoons, and English-dubbed anime, as well as programming from the likes of [[U.S. Television Office]], [[Weiss Global Enterprises]], and [[Dargaud Média (France)|Dargaud Films]]. It became the incorporated name for [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] in 1987. Also, they covered the [[Jim Henson Home Entertainment|Jim Henson Video]] brand starting in 1990 after the [[Muppet Video]] brand and its US distributor, [[Playhouse Video]], were shut down. Disney semi-retired the brand in 2009. However, the name is still being used since it is the incorporated name for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, and it was still used in some international countries, such as for French [[Studio Ghibli|Studio Ghibli]] releases, until 2020.

'''Nickname:''' "Buena Vista Castle II"
'''Logo:''' On a {{color|orchid|lavender}} gradient background, we see the Disney castle forming (like in the movie logo, but from bottom to top rather than top to bottom). The arc is drawn counter-clockwise over the castle, and the words "Buena Vista Home Video" zoom in from the castle, one by one. 
'''Variants:'''
* Starting in 1994, the background is now a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} gradient and instead of reading "Buena Vista Home Video", it reads "Buena Vista Home Entertainment" in a slightly different serif font.
* Alongside the logo's change in 1994, the Buena Vista Home Video name in the warning text is now '''"{{color|blue|BUENA VISTA HOME ENTERTAINMENT}}"''', and the final text now says '''"{{color|blue|Distribuzione a cura di: BUENA VISTA HOME ENTERTAINMENT via S. Sandri, 1 - 20121 - Milano tel. 29085.1}}"''' ('''"Distribution by: BUENA VISTA HOME ENTERTAINMENT S. Sandri Street, 1 - 20121 - Milan tel. 29085.1"''').
'''FX/SFX:''' Standard '90s computer effects.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Restored Castle", "3-D Castle", "Buena Vista Castle III"


'''Logo:''' On a very shady {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} gradient background, we see a {{color|blue}} 3D segmented Sleeping Beauty Castle at an angle shining, and emitting rays of light. The castle flies in and turns to face us. As this happens, the text "{{color|silver|{{Font|Times New Roman|Buena Vista Home Video}}}}" in Times New Roman font appears in {{color|silver|silver}} aligned with the castle, and thus also flies in. An arch flies in and places itself over the castle and the text stops at the bottom of the screen. The words shine.

'''Nickname:''' "Buena Vista Castle V" "Japanese Castle"
'''Logo:''' In a blue/dark blue gradient background, we see transparent pieces of the castle flying into their positions from the bottom of the screen. While this happens, a flare circles around the castle, forming a curved line, then moves to the right side of the screen, then coming back at the left side of the screen, while the camera is zooming. The castle turns white, and the flare turns into the text "'''ブエナビスタホームエンターテインメント'''" (romanized: Buena bisuta hōmu entāteinmento) ("Buena Vista Home Entertainment" in Japanese), which moves slightly towards the castle before stopping. The background turns white, with the castle and text turning blue and black respectively.
'''FX/SFX:''' The castle flying in, the flare, the text forming and the background, text and castle changing color.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A descending piano theme, combined with a synthesized ambient note.
'''Availability:''' So far, it is only known to appear on two releases from the [[Ghibli ga Ippai Collection|Ghibli ga Ippai Collection Special]] line: ''Jagarinko Chie: Movie'' and ''Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro''. It likely appeared on ''Panda! Go, Panda!'' as well.
* It is likely that the 2015 reissues of them do not have this logo.
'''Legacy:''' A unique and rather peaceful logo for Buena Vista Home Entertainment, blending a good mix of CGI and what may be Scanimation/2D computer graphics.
