Disney has announced that it has signed a home entertainment licensing agreement with Mill Creek Entertainment, a division of Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (“Alliance Entertainment”), a distributor and wholesaler of the world’s largest in-stock selection of music, movies, video games, electronics, arcades, and collectables.

In the multi-year agreement, Distribution Solutions, a division of Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation, will distribute hundreds of select physical (Blu-ray and DVD) live-action film and television properties from the ABC Signature, 20th Television, Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, and 20th Century Studios content libraries.

Jeff Hayne, Senior VP of Acquisitions and Production of Mill Creek Entertainment, said in a statement:

“This significant partnership further builds on our studio’s substantial offering of home entertainment products that appeal to collectors and fans alike.  Mill Creek will assume the role of vendor of record on certain existing titles.”

“We are excited to have signed a licensing agreement with The Walt Disney Company. This incredible partnership is a testament to Mill Creek’s solid reputation as a premier resource for major studio content providers.  Titles will benefit from our vast network of physical and e-commerce retailers, including several where we have proprietary fixtures for DVD and Blu-ray™ products.”
