should be listed as Walt Disney Productions because they were a joint venture with Paramount Pictures
Something Wicked This Way Comes and Candleshoe Walt Disney Productions
I would personally list this as Walt Disney Pictures for sake of consistency in sorting, but will not quibble with accuracy.

With any Studio it is possible to have more production Studios involved, such as Castle Rock Entertainment, Silver Screen Partners, etc. IF these are present use them in order of appearance on the Cover of preferably the film credits. If there are any spaces left over then enter DVD Distribution unit.
This is inteneded to be an informational/educational thread not a discussion thread.
As always if anyone would like to ask me a question or seek my assistance don't hesitate to send me a PM.

| | Posted: | | | | Here's what I found on Universal Studios Home Entertainment...
Quote:
Universal Studios Home Entertainment is a unit of Universal Pictures, a division of Universal Studios. Universal Studios is a part of NBC Universal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. Formed in May 2004 through the combining of NBC and Vivendi Universal Entertainment, NBC Universal owns and operates the No. 1 television network, the fastest-growing Spanish-language network, a valuable portfolio of news and entertainment networks, a premier motion picture company, significant television production operations, a leading television stations group, and world-renowned theme parks. NBC Universal is 80%-owned by General Electric, with 20% controlled by Vivendi Universal.
Doing a search on Universal's Studios website reveals a company structure as follows:
Universal Pictures:
Universal Pictures Production
Universal Pictures Marketing
Universal Pictures Distribution
Universal Pictures International Marketing and Distribution
The Brand Group
Universal Studios Consumer Products Group
Focus Features
Universal Studios Home Video
Universal Pictures International Video
Universal Worldwide Home Entertainment
Universal Home Entertainment Production
Universal Cartoon Studios
Universal Pictures Visual Programming
So for Universal Home Entertainment by itself I would guess to be 'No'.
But what the heck do I know about this. Studios change names like I change underwear.  | | | | Gotta nip it in the bud, Andy! |

Even though we seem to be getting a lot of them, maybe this could be a "sticky?"
Will this be added to the resources site? | | | Ken Hershberger

I’d like you to take a look at this gun. The balance is excellent, this trigger responds to a pressure of one ounce. This gun was handcrafted to my specifications—and I rarely draw it unless I mean to use it. --Paladin |

Yes it is, Hal. For awhile I thought UHE was correct myself, til I happened to catch UHV actually on the disc.

In that case, you need to add it to the "unacceptable" list! | | | Hal
