Disney started distributing its films on video in 1980, traded as Buena Vista Home Video from 1987 and has used the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment name since 2007. The label covers Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios titles on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD. Sony has made and distributed its North American discs since 2024, and Disney cut its home-entertainment publicity team in April 2026.

Every release since the 2004 restored version on the OG Disney DVD has the line "Come on, good kitty, just take off and go" replaced with "Take off, good kitty" due to the 1992 line being misheard as "Come on, good teenagers, take off your clothes" (an occurrence called a "mondegreen")
