This was followed in 1987 by signing a deal with major video distributor MCA Home Video to license these titles to videocassette, mainly the Universal Pictures catalog for a price of $15. The company made its first licensed client in 1986, by signing a deal with Worldvision Home Video to reissue titles on videocassette, through the Kids Klassics label, which was mostly on Hanna-Barbera cartoons. The first Kids Klassics videos were 52 different cartoons, which were all meant to be in color and received a 50-50 joint venture with Remco to market the Mel-O-Toons cartoons by Storer Broadcasting. Despite these changes, however, GoodTimes continued to produce animated films based on public domain "knockoff" titles.Īt the Summer CES 1985, GoodTimes launched a home video label Kids Klassics Home Video, which was specifically designed for a children's audience. The Walt Disney Company sued GoodTimes in 1993 because the videotape packaging closely resembled Disney's, allegedly creating the potential of confusing consumers into unintentionally purchasing a GoodTimes title, when they instead meant to purchase a film from Disney.Īs a result of this lawsuit, GoodTimes was required by law to print its name atop all of its future VHS covers, in order to clearly demonstrate to the public at large that this was not the "blockbuster" title that they would be purchasing. This was largely legal, as the stories of the big-budget films were based on folk tales that had long been in the public domain, and the major studios had little room to claim exclusive rights to the stories or the main characters.
Many of its home-video titles-such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Sinbad, The Little Mermaid, The Three Musketeers and Thumbelina-were named similarly or identically to big-budget animated films from other studios (though their plots were sometimes very different), and GoodTimes would often release these films close to the theatrical/home-video releases of other studios.

Please tell me the name of song.GoodTimes Entertainment, Ltd. I've written the lyrics on the search engines but it didn't work. It starts as "Where has she been all my life?.". I want to learn the name of the song that Cinderella and the Prince sung.
GOODTIMES ENTERTAINMENT MOVIE
It's a movie that every child should have and watch I have a question. I think, it's one of the most useful movie that you can tell the meaning of goodness and all the best things to your children with. It made me feel happy and I really loved it. I'd watch it when I was bored and sometimes, I kept sleeping towards it. The exposition and the construction're definitely better and Cinderella was a girl that had encouraged me and she always encourages me. I advice my friends to watch it and they all love it! If I compare it with Walt Disney, I definitely choose "Jetlag Pruductions". I really have a good time when I am watching this movie. It tells the "Love" that the children can understand easily.
