Celebrity Home Entertainment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celebrity Home Entertainment (also known as "Celebrity Home Video", and simply "Celebrity Video") was a home video distributor specializing in mostly obscure material from around the world, although they also released some material that was very famous at the time of it's original release (such as BraveStarr). They were perhaps best known (such as they were) for their "Just For Kids" imprint, featuring animated material broadcast in the United States, but also featuring original acquisitions such as the French animated series Clémentine, BBC's Postman Pat, and various English-dubbed versions of Japanese anime. It should be noted however, that most such productions of the latter reflected the times, being edited to reflect U.S. broadcast standards. Further, some, though not all TV series releases were edited into 1 or 2 compilation films (ex: the aforementioned Clémentine, plus "Wee Wendy" [original title: Tongari Boushi no Memoru]). Some series were never even finished.
According to this [1] document, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in 1991. Today, all of their releases are now out of print (although some can still be bought new), and the company no longer exists.
