Starmaker Entertainment

From Home Video

History[edit]

In 1989, Starmaker Entertainment was formed by Ken Palmer to release budget home video titles. The company's first acquisition was The Little Mermaid from G.G. Communications. The company grew by securing the rights to the New World Video library, as well as releasing home video titles from the NBC Enterprises library, most notably Saturday Night Live, and budget sell-through editions of several Vidmark Entertainment and Prism Entertainment titles. These events made Starmaker the world's third-largest budget distributor, behind GoodTimes Entertainment and future sister company Video Treasures.

In 1994, it was sold to the Handleman Company. Eventually, Starmaker merged with Video Treasures to form Anchor Bay Entertainment in 1995. Both the Starmaker and Video Treasures brands were phased out in 1998. In 2004, Palmer reacquired the Starmaker trademark and formed Starmaker II.
