Golden Book Video

Golden Book Video was a line of children’s animated videos marketed by Western Publishing, beginning in 1985 and ended in 1997 when the company was officially renamed and changed to Golden Books Family Entertainment. It was later acquired by DreamWorks Animation SKG in 2012, which in turn was acquired by Comcast in 2016.

Sound Effects Used
NOTE: The videos largely use sound effects from the former Major Records/Valentino library, the Series 1000 Sound Effects Library and the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library (the latter mostly only on videos where Studio Consultants, Inc. did the audio production). Some effects from Elektra Records's sound effects LP album volumes are used as well.
