===Background===
|
In 1990, New Line Cinema established its own video label as New Line Home Video (later renamed New Line Home Entertainment in 2001) and started releasing its videos the following year through RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video (which became Columbia TriStar Home Video) while Laserdisc releases were exclusively distributed by Image Entertainment.
Prior to this, RCA/Columbia had been releasing some New Line films on video including the first two Critters films, Alone in the Dark (1982 version), Quiet Cool, My Demon Lover and House Party. Other distributors had also been releasing New Line films on video such as Media Home Entertainment (Nightmare on Elm Street 1-5), HBO Video (Xtro and The Blood of Heroes) and LIVE Entertainment (Babar The Movie, Chicago Joe and the Showgirl and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Even after forming its own video label, New Line still licensed some titles to LIVE such as Drop Dead Fred (a PolyGram/Working Title production which New Line released theatrically in the US), Glengarry Glen Ross, London Kills Me (a Fine Line Features release) and all Seven Arts films which New Line released (Seven Arts was a New Line/Carolco joint venture which resulted in video rights going to LIVE).
New Line's acquisition of Nelson Entertainment in 1991 enhanced its home video library; they distributed some Castle Rock Entertainment films and reissued several former Embassy Home Entertainment titles in addition to the main studio's selections.
On January 28, 1994, New Line's video distribution shifted to Turner Home Entertainment after Turner acquired New Line. After Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and "Warner Bros. Discovery") bought out Turner in 1996, New Line's video distribution shifted once again to Warner Home Video.
In mid-2008, it became a division of Warner Home Video after a short transitional period and folded 2 years later.

Music/Sounds: The early version of the 1994 movie logo music, though sometimes it can be silent (such as on at least the DVDs of the Extended Editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy).
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon. Appeared on New Line video releases from the era. Some New Line DVDs are still in print.
Logo: We see the New Line logo form as usual; the details are quite improved, and the background light consists of many rays. The words are in Bank Gothic MD BT font, more silver, and in 3D. When the logo is formed, a very bright light flash occurs, making the words change to "HIGH DEFINITION".

Music/Sounds: An extended version of the New Line fanfare, accompanied by a light flash sound.
