The division was legally incorporated as Buena Vista Home Video on February 13, 1987.[4] It was renamed to its current legal name in 1997,[3] although it is currently known in the UK as Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (UK & Ireland) since 2013. The division adopted the current Walt Disney Studios-branding in its public name in 2007, but kept the Buena Vista-branding for corporate use.[5]
In recent years, sales in the physical media market have slowed due to digital media and streaming services like Disney's own Disney+, which has led the company to let other home video distributors handle distribution for them or exit out of the market depending on the region.
