'''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 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.
