History

The company was founded byNoel C. Bloom as a direct opposite to an earlier company he founded,Caballero Home Video, which was a pioneering video distributor of hardcore adult fare.[1][2][3] FHE released children's andfamily-oriented programming, most notably popular 1980s television cartoons, includingThe Transformers,[6][7][8]G.I. Joe,[8][9][10]Jem,[11]ThunderCats,[12]Inspector Gadget,[a]Defenders of the Earth,[17][18][19][20]Pound Puppies,[17][21] the originalTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series,[22][23][24]Gumby,[b]Clifford the Big Red Dog,[c]The Care Bears,[8][32]Highlander: The Animated Series (as thecompilation filmHighlander: The Adventure Begins),[40] andBucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars,[41] and other non-animated shows likeBaby Einstein[d] and theLaurel and Hardy comedy series from the 1920s and 1930s byHal Roach. FHE was one of the two distributors for most of the seasonalRankin/Bass television specials aired onCBS, a relationship that began in 1989. The other distributor for this library wasVestron Video, a now-defunct company which would be ironically acquired by FHE's then-parent Live Entertainment in 1991. However, it would lose the home video rights to the Rankin/Bass library in 1998 toSony Wonder andGolden Books Family Entertainment.[e] The company also released several VHS releases of British kids' cartoons and animation in the US (i.e.,Roobarb,Wil Cwac Cwac,James the Cat andFireman Sam), as well as some Japaneseanime, such asRobotech[7][17][56][57] andThe Adventures of Ultraman, plus the AustralianDot films. Their output was not strictly targeted at children and families; in the early '80s, several titles were released under the "World of Horror" label directly by FHE, includingJourney into the Beyond andThe Child (which was later rebranded as aMonterey Home Video release).[58] Beginning in 1982, they also releasedFilmation's TV shows such asLassie's Rescue Rangers,The Lone Ranger,Shazam!,Blackstar, andThe New Adventures of Zorro, plus the only Filmation movie released at the time,Journey Back to Oz.[59][60]

Early FHE releases were distributed byMGM/UA Home Video, including the very first release of few episodes ofGumby.[f] In the late 1980s, FHE's releases were distributed byMCA (most notably in Canada).[73]

In 1982, the company introduced USA Home Video as a non-family division of the company. Two years later in 1984, both FHE and USA became part of Noel Bloom's NCB Entertainment Group (which also included Bloom's other labelsCaballero Home Video,Monterey Home Video, Thriller Video, USA Sports Video and laterCelebrity Home Entertainment), and in 1985, they were reorganized into International Video Entertainment (which then changed its name to Live Entertainment years later), with "Family Home Entertainment" as a kids and family imprint of IVE/Live.[g] Throughout the 1990s,Family Home Entertainment Theatre was used as a banner for full-length, family-friendly movies Live had the rights to; certain FHE titles were also reprinted by Live's budget video brand Avid Home Entertainment. FHE continued as a sub-label of Live through its rebranding as Artisan Entertainment in 1998 and formed another imprint,FHE Kids. By the early 2000s, FHE had begun to concentrate on new direct-to-video material in addition to pre-existing television shows and movies, including theBarbie film series,Crayola Home Entertainment product andBaby Einstein (until the rights to that franchise were acquired by Disney). It also had a one off theatrical release division,FHE Pictures, established in 2002; its first and only release wasJonah: A VeggieTales Movie.[80][81][82] Ultimately, the brand was discontinued in 2005 by new owner Lionsgate (who had purchased Artisan in 2003[83]), as the division restructured intoLionsgate Family Entertainment (an internal name only; from that point forward, all family-oriented releases carried the normal Lionsgate logo).[84]
