Buena Vista Home Entertainment was originally formed in Q1 1983 as Buena Vista Home Video. It was a stand-alone video label of distributor Walt Disney Telecommunications and Non-Theatrical Company responsible for releases either licensed from, or produced in partnership with, non-Disney companies. Walt Disney Telecommunications and Non-Theatrical Company itself would eventually become Buena Vista Home Video in June 1987.
From its establishment in 1983 to December 1997 when it was renamed to its current name, Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc. (formerly Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc.) was credited as the copyright holder for the label.
