'''[[Sony Wonder]]''' was the children's music and home video arm of [[Sony Music Entertainment]], originally formed in 1992 as "Sony Kids' Music/Video". In 1993, Sony Wonder began distributing [[Nickelodeon]] videos until 1996, when their license with Nickelodeon expired. In 1995, the company began distributing ''Kidsongs'' video releases after acquiring the rights from [[KidVision]] until 1998, and [[Sesame Workshop]] releases from 1995 to 2007, as well as ''Arthur'' videos from 2000 to 2006. By 1997, they distributed videos from [[Golden Books Family Entertainment]], which became [[Classic Media]] in 2002. |
|||
Sony Wonder also had a TV division, which produced and distributed TV shows. This division of the company purchased [[Sunbow Entertainment]] in 1998, but in October 2000 the company sold their TV division including Sunbow to Germany's [[TV-Loonland AG|TV-Loonland AG]]. |
|||
On March 13, 2007, Sony BMG Music Entertainment announced they would shut down Sony Wonder so that they can focus on their central music businesses; it would be moved to [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] as an in-name-only division on June 20, 2007. The company was completely merged into SPHE in 2020, and a majority of its kids' content is now handled by [[Sony Pictures Animation]] and [[Sony Pictures Television Kids]]. The releases by Classic Media (now part of NBCUniversal) and Sesame Workshop were then transferred to [[Genius Products]]. From 2010 to 2018, ''Sesame Street'' DVDs were distributed by [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment]], and since late 2018, they have been released by [[Shout! Factory Kids]]. |
