Disney Buena Vista Distribution Logos

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, an American film distributor within the Disney Entertainment division of The Walt Disney Company, was established in 1953 after Walt Disney broke off his distribution deal with RKO Radio Pictures, using a logo in some form until 1989. It is named after the street on which the Disney Studios reside. In 2007, after the release of The Game Plan, the company was renamed and rebranded as Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Beginning with the release of Never Cry Wolf in 1983, all films released by Disney under any of its banners would shift the Buena Vista text to an in-credit notice at the very end of the closing credits, although some films released after that year such as Frankenweenie (1984) and the first two Roger Rabbit shorts would use custom variants as mentioned above.
