Walt Disney Home Entertainment (2001-2007)

Background
In 2001, Walt Disney Home Video was renamed to "Walt Disney Home Entertainment", with DVD releases going under the Disney DVD label. Since 2007, it is known as "Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment".

Logo: We see a bright flash with the "D" of the text "WALT DiSNEY" (in the familiar signature font), both of which are zooming out on a (or black) space background. When everything is at a comfortable distance at the top of the screen, the flash forms an abstract shining star below "WALT DiSNEY", and the light spreads out to form a glowing arc. When this is finished, "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" fades in underneath the arc.

Variants:
 * There is a short version of the logo which was used on several trailers and ads from August 2001-October 2007. This was also used on VHS and DVD piracy promos from 2001-2005.
 * German VHS tapes have the same message from the German extended version of the Disney Videos logo scrolling upwards into the arc, this time all without rectangles and in, and with the FSK label replacing part of the text. After the message is done, Tinker Bell appears and touches the star, letting the rest of the logo continue before she flies offscreen. She then returns to fly into the background.
 * A short variant exists where "Home Entertainment" is replaced with "Classic Family".
 * Japanese and Spanish commercials for home video releases use a flat model of the logo on a purple or background.
 * On a Spanish home video and DVD commercial for Beauty and the Beast (La Bella y la Bestia), the "Home Entertainment" text is omitted.
 * Commercials for the home video release of Winter Wonderland have a christmas tree behind the logo.

Technique: All modern CGI graphics.

Music/Sounds:
 * July 17, 2001-December 18, 2007: A whoosh, then an orchestral/choir note with some bells.
 * October 17, 2006-February 5, 2008: A different orchestral theme with a woodwind section. This was first used on the 2006 Blu-ray of Glory Road, and it replaced the 2001 theme entirely with Invincible (however, Disney's last VHS tapes, the 2007 Blu-ray of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the 2007 DVD of Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, all 2006-Early 2010s Thai VCDs, the Singapore VCD of Cars, the Indian VCD of Ratatouille and the 2008 South Korean VHS and Indian VCD of WALL-E all used the 2001 music).

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * There is a shorter version of the 2001 tune occasionally used on the short variant. A few NTSC DVD releases from December 2001-August 2002 have this audio plastered on the real logo.
 * The German version has the same tune that was used in the German extended variant of the Disney Videos logo.
 * Trailers and TV spots use the opening theme of the trailer.

Availability: Very common. Can be found on DVD, UMD, VCD, VHS and Blu-ray Disc releases from the era, some of which are still in print.
 * This was first seen on the VHS release of The Book of Pooh: Stories from the Heart (although the regular WDHV logo is on the label and packaging, as well as the DVD release), and was last seen on the 2008 DVD of The Aristocats.
 * The blue background one is typically used on animated movies (although it appeared on Kermit's 50th Anniversary DVD re-releases of four Muppet movies including Muppet Treasure Island, the Region 4 DVD release of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and the 2006 Disney Movie Club VHS release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, despite these being live-action movies) and it also appears on the Bear in the Big Blue House VHS and DVD releases from 2004 and 2005, while the black background is reserved for live action movies (however, the black background was seen on a House of Mouse single episode DVD, a trailer for the Aladdin: Platinum Edition VHS and DVD, a trailer for Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street, as well as the 2006 Disney Movie Club VHS releases of Brother Bear 2 and The Wild, which are animated releases), though the logo for some reason is skipped to the movie on Muppet Treasure Island's audio commentary feature after its introduction. This was seen on 2002 French VHS releases of The Great Mouse Detective (Basil, détective privé) and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Atlantide, l'empire perdu).
 * As for VHS, this logo appeared late in the format's life and can be seen on the first Platinum Editions, as well as on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and Baby Einstein videos released between 2002-2005; among others.
 * The last VHS releases to use this logo were the 2007 VHS releases of Cars, the Platinum Edition of The Little Mermaid, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Invincible, and the 2006/2007 demo VHS of Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, all of which were exclusively for the Disney Movie Club and thus are very hard to find.
 * This logo does not appear anywhere on most Pixar releases; instead, the box art uses the print Buena Vista Home Entertainment logo, while the discs/tapes themselves cut straight to the opening previews or, in the case of the 2003 DVDs of Finding Nemo (disc 1) and A Bug's Life, the DVD menu. Ratatouille and The Pixar Short Films Collection: Vol. 1 also have this on their respective covers, but the former has the next logo while the latter has no Disney logo at all. However, the VHS releases of The Incredibles and Cars do have this, as well as the latter's original Blu-ray prints from 2007 and the 2003 UK DVD of A Bug's Life. It was also seen on the 2008 South Korean VHS of WALL-E along with the KD Media logo, despite the fact the South Korean DVD uses the next logo and no KD Media logo. The 2003 Australian 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of A Bug's Life has this logo as well.
 * It also appears on the 2012 Special Edition DVD print of The Aristocats, itself a reprint of the 2008 release, and the 2013 DVD releases of the TV shows Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, and Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, which are all reprints from the original 2005-2007 releases. This also appears on 2003-2006 releases of Studio Ghibli titles in the US which include My Neighbors the Yamadas and Porco Rosso, among others (the logo is removed on the 2010 US reprints of Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, alongside the US Disney Blu-ray versions of all Ghibli movies they released, all of which use the next logo).
 * The 2002 Region 4 DVD releases of The Aristocats and Oliver & Company also do not have this logo, despite it being on the cover; they just use the 1995 Disney Videos logo (but their VHS counterparts have this logo). This logo also makes a surprise appearance on the 2015 DVD release of DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (itself a reprint of the original 2006 Disney Movie Club exclusive DVD release).
 * It also appeared on the 2015 Region 4 DVD reprints of The Rescuers Down Under, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lilo & Stitch, Home on the Range, Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, Robin Hood, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Rescuers, The Sword in the Stone, Hercules, and The Great Mouse Detective (presumably reprints of their original releases dating from 2001-07; this is due to an exclusive promotion at Big W, who re-released most Walt Disney films on DVD with limited edition packaging), but cuts to the previews on Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Cars, the menu on A Bug's Life, and the next logo is on Ratatouille.
 * This surprisingly appeared at the start of the Mexican VHS release of Daredevil VS. Spider-Man instead of the Buena Vista Home Entertainment logo.
 * This appeared on the French UMD for PSP release of The Sixth Sense (Sixième Sens, a Hollywood Pictures film!), and also on a Thai VCD release of Touchstone Pictures' Deja Vu (the Buena Vista Home Entertainment logo was however seen before the previews).
 * Despite its domestic retirement in 2008, VCDs released in Asian region continued to use this logo until late-2011. In case of Indonesian VCDs, this logo was used in tandem with the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment logo from 2009 to 2011.
 * This and the 2001 Disney DVD logo also surprisingly appears on the 2013 UK DVD release of Make Mine Music, possibly because the disc master was most likely prepared for a 2006 release, but was not released until 2013 for unknown reasons.
 * This logo was also spotted on the Indian VCD releases of Ratatouille and WALL-E despite the WDSHE logo used on DVD and Blu-ray releases.
 * On the 2001 Platinum Edition DVD of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this logo does not show up; it instead goes straight from the Warning Screens to the DVD menu.

Legacy: Much like the 1st and 5th logos, this is a popular logo among collectors. However, this logo is somewhat infamous due to its sudden appearance and music.
