The other distributor for this library was Vestron Video, a now-defunct company which would be ironically acquired by FHE's then-parent Live Entertainment in 1991.

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 the Barbie film series, Crayola Home Entertainment product and Baby Einstein (until the rights to that franchise were acquired by Disney).
