Buena Vista (Spanish for "good view") is a brand name that has historically been used for divisions, subsidiaries, and assets of The Walt Disney Company, whose primary studios, the Walt Disney Studios, are located on South Buena Vista Street in Burbank, California. The studio lot is also home to the company's corporate headquarters, the Team Disney Burbank building. The logos for the various Buena Vista brands featured the "Buena Vista" wordmark superimposed over the traditional Disney castle logo to signal the affiliation between Buena Vista and Disney.

In 1953, the brand was originally used for the Buena Vista Film Distribution Company, which had been established by Walt and Roy O. Disney to distribute The Living Desert (1953) after RKO Radio Pictures, Disney's longtime distributor, refused to. The company would go on to distribute all of Disney's future films, though some were still distributed by RKO until 1956 due to its preexisting contracts. However, Disney semi-retired the Buena Vista name as Buena Vista Pictures Distribution in May 2007.

In 1984, Buena Vista Home Entertainment (formerly Buena Vista Home Video) was created to release non-Disney-related videos not covered by the other Disney units, primarily third-party product licensed to them for home release, including concerts, documentaries, Jay Ward (Rocky & Bullwinkle) and Bagdasarian (Alvin and the Chipmunks) cartoons, as well as programming from the likes of U.S. Television Office, Weiss Global Enterprises, and Dargaud Films. It became the incorporated name for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment in 1987. They also covered the Jim Henson Video brand starting in 1990 after the Muppet Video brand and its US distributor, Playhouse Video, were shut down. Disney semi-retired the brand in 2009. However, the name is still being used since it is the incorporated name for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

As of now for Disney fans, they want to bring back Buena Vista as a separate movie production company rather than a distribution company like Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures did, Buena Vista is now a separate movie production company as a division of Disney Entertainment, which was owned by The Walt Disney Company, as the movie production company Buena Vista prepares to produce all future movies that are distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

All you have to do is sign the petition to bring back Buena Vista as a separate movie production company. #BringBackBuenaVista

We've seen Power Rangers team up with everyone from TMNT to Godzilla, and Sonic has crossed over with Mario and the Justice League. But somehow these two iconic franchises have never joined forces!

I started a petition asking BOOM! Studios and Sega to create a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers X Sonic crossover comic. Picture this: Sonic as Red Ranger with his leadership, Knuckles as Black Ranger, Tails as Blue Ranger using his tech skills, Amy as Yellow Ranger, Rouge as Pink Ranger, and Shadow as Green Ranger. The character matches are perfect!

Both franchises love crossovers and have massive fanbases. This collaboration could make superhero history and give us the team-up we never knew we needed. Anyone else think this crossover would be absolutely epic? If this sounds as awesome to you as it does to me, consider signing and sharing!

At the New York Toy Fair in March 2025, Playmates Toys revealed their products from their new "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Re-Ignition" toyline.  Playmates is making action figures for children and for adults, of the Dinozords, of masks of the Rangers' helmets, of role-play items such as the Power Morpher and the Blade Blaster, and more.  However, fans were disappointed with the sculpting, the paint applications and with the lack of poseability for the Megazord.  Most of all, a lot of fans were disappointed to see new "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" products and not focusing on later seasons of the show.

We, the fans, would like to see Playmates Toys eventually move beyond making products based on "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and to make action figures of the Rangers and their enemies, of the Zords, of role-play items like Morphers and helmets, and more based on other seasons from the original Saban era seasons (from "Zeo" to "Wild Force"), the Disney era seasons (from "Ninja Storm" to "RPM"), the neo-Saban era seasons (from "Samurai" to "Super Ninja Steel"), and the Hasbro era seasons (from "Beast Morphers" to "Cosmic Fury").  Fans also hope the figures of the Power Rangers include an alternate civilian head, like Hasbro did for the "Power Rangers: Lightning Collection" toyline.

At minimum, fans would like to see Playmates Toys start with making new action figures with an alternate civilian head that are properly sculpted and painted to be accurate to how they looked on their TV series for a new collectors line aimed for adults and long-time fans of the "Power Rangers" franchise.

In March 2025, at the New York Toy Fair, Playmates Toys revealed their new "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Re-Ignition" toyline, which consists of new action figures, role-play items like the Blade Blaster and the Power Morpher, and new 8-inch figures that are replicas of the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" toys that Bandai made in 1993.  Playmates also unveiled a collectors line aimed for adults.  However, the figures revealed have multiple problems, such as incorrect helmets, missing paint on the helmets and/or parts of the figures, and a lack of an alternate civilian head like each figure made by Hasbro had.  Several fans were also disappointed with the reveals of the  Dinozords toys, their incorrect paint and/or sculpting and lack of articulation and the reveals with some of some of the villains figures, such as the "head-spinning" feature for the Putty Patroller and the missing paint for King Sphinx.  These errors could be fixed before the products are sold in stores, but a lot of fans are disappointed by the products revealed by Playmates for their MMPR products.

If Playmates Toys is going to make new "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" figures and products, then we, the fans, who grew up watching "Mighty Morphin" when it aired from 1993 to 1995 on The Fox Kids Network, would like to see new items made for adults to buy.  Fans would like to see new role-play items made for adults, including show-accurate replicas of the Power Morpher, the Green Ranger's Power Morpher, the Blade Blaster, the Power Rangers' Power Weapons that combine to form the Power Blaster, and the Green Ranger's Dragon Dagger.  Fans would also like to see new and improved figures for the main Power Rangers with alternate civilian heads like Hasbro's "Power Rangers: Lightning Collection" toyline, new and improved transforming figures for the Dinozords, the Thunderzords, the Ninja Zords and the Shogun Zords that are properly sculpted and painted.  Fans also would love to see new six-inch action figures of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Evil Space Aliens and monsters from the show's three seasons (including Bones, King Sphinx, Eye Guy, Pudgy Pig, Madame Woe, Terror Toad and more) that are resculpted and properly painted to be accurate to how they look on the TV series.

However, if Playmates Toys does make new "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" products for adults, we, the fans, would like to see new products made or to remake products that fans missed out previously, such as Auto-Morphin' "flip-head" figures of all eleven Rangers with civilian heads (the Green Ranger, the White Ranger, both Black Rangers, both Pink Rangers, the Blue Ranger, both Yellow Rangers, and and both Red Rangers), all eleven Rangers as teenagers in normal clothes, civilian characters like Ernie from the Gym and Juice Bar and variations of Bulk and Skull, the Battle Bikes, the Shark Cycles, henchmen like the Z-Putties and Tengas, allies like Alpha 5 and Ninjor, and items from the 1995 film 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie', including new action figures, Zords, and role-play items like the Power Morphers and the helmets of all six Rangers.
