Golden Book Video American was a line of children/family animated and live-action videos marketed by Western Publishing, which began during the holiday season of 1985. They featured characters and stories from Western's print publications, such as Little Golden Books, and were originally released on VHS video cassette for under $10.[1]
The videos made use of limited animation techniques to add motion to original illustrations from Western's print books; Western called this approach "bringing storybooks to life".[2]
Random House and Classic Media (now DreamWorks Classics) bought out Golden Books Family Entertainment in 2001.[citation needed]
