In 2005, Buena Vista Home Entertainment International (BVHEI) continued to hold the title of market share leader in numerous countries around the world. This was a result of success on both new release and library titles, including National Treasure, Bambi, Aladdin and The Incredibles, which was the number one international DVD title of the year.

Staying in the forefront of new technologies, BVHEI continued in 2005 to offer consumers new ways to enjoy Disney Home Entertainment. Partnering with the Walt Disney Internet Group, the division launched an unprecedented movie downloading service in Japan – MOVIE EXPRESS – which promotes the legitimate downloading of movies from the Internet. Additionally, BVHEI leads the portable movie business by releasing movies on the new Universal Media Disk (UMD) format for Sony's PlayStation Portable.
