BUENA VISTA HOME ENTERTAINMENT INTERNATIONAL
2004 marked another stellar year for the operations of Buena Vista Home Entertainment International (BVHEI), surpassing last year's record-breaking unit sales. A strong slate of films, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Nemo and Brother Bear, as well as the re-release of classic library films such as The Lion King Special Edition and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, fueled the unit's performance this year.

In 2005, international home entertainment releases will include The Incredibles, National Treasure, King Arthur and The Village. Additionally, the unit will release two Platinum Edition DVDs, including Aladdin and the highly anticipated, newly restored Bambi. BVHEI continues to operate in more than 60 countries worldwide, with ongoing focus on the assessment and development of emerging markets, specifically Russia and China.

 


 Buena Vista International surpassed the  $1 billion box office mark for the 10th consecutive year - an industry record.
