Turner Home Entertainment (THE) is a home video distribution company created by Turner. It was founded on July 29, 1986. It started out making VHS releases of RKO Radio Pictures' library. However, the pre-1986 MGM and Warner Bros. films, especially the classic cartoon shorts Turner acquired from MGM in the same year are still distributed through MGM/UA Home Video. THE released films produced by Turner Pictures on home video with their distributors and independently released the Hanna-Barbera cartoon library on home video. In 1997, a year after Turner merged with Time Warner, Turner Home Entertainment was dissolved into Warner Home Video, although it remained until 1999.
Turner Home Entertainment was the first to release Tom & Jerry Kids Show on VHS.
