In the mid-80s, Disney signed a distribution deal with </font>[[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]]<font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> to release its pictures theatrically in some overseas territories such as U.K and Ireland, Benelux, Scandinavia, and parts of South America, where it did not have any current distribution arrangements with other companies. In 1992, Disney opted to end the joint venture with Warner and reactivated the Buena Vista International name to handle operations in countries that did not have any ongoing distribution arrangements. When the Buena Vista name was phased out in favor for the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Branding around 2007, international distribution in most countries went through the Disney branding and its subsidiaries ([[Miramax Films|Miramax]], [[Touchstone Pictures|Touchstone]], etc). However, like </font>[[United International Pictures]]<font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">, Buena Vista International is still active as in-name-only in some developing countries such as Latin America, and parts of South Africa. The label is also used as an </font><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">international distributor of films made by independent studios and a distributor of films made in foreign countries. It remains the only active unit of the Walt Disney Company to still retain the Buena Vista brand name (although [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment]] is still used as a legal disclaimer on [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]/[[Marvel Studios|Marvel]]/[[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] releases and as an in-name-only label for Non-Disney distributed movies on home media, like <i>Glass</i>).</font><br/><br/><br/><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">1st Logo</font><br/><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">(1961-1983)</font><br/><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><u><div>[[File:Ipo5Fwo5tEA5yXAHHvyQVw102786.jpeg|277px|Buena Vista International (1961)]]</div>Logo</u><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">: Same as the standard Buena Vista Film Distribution logo from 1953-1984, only "</font><b><font face="Times">INTERNATIONAL, INC.</font></b><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">" replaces "</font><b><font face="Times">DISTRIBUTION CO., INC.</font></b><font face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">".</font><br/><br/></font><font size="3"><font size="3"><u>Variants</u>: See <font color="#333333">[[Buena Vista Pictures Distribution]]</font></font>.<br/><br/><u>FX/SFX</u>: None, same as the regular Buena Vista logo from 1953-1984.<br/><br/><u>Music/Sounds</u>: See <font color="#333333">[[Buena Vista Pictures Distribution]]</font>.<br/><u><br/></u><u>Availability</u>: Extremely rare.

However, some versions use prints that had mandatory edits by the countries rating council for distribution, with an example being UK prints of <i>Face/Off</i>. This can be still be seen on some Japanese NTSC DVDs of films such as <i>Dragonfly</i>, <i>Kiss of the Dragon</i>, as well as overseas Blu-Ray's of <i>Air Force One</i>, <i>Face/Off</i>, and <i>Starship Troopers</i>. This also makes appearances on streaming prints of the 2009 Australian film <i>Subdivision</i>, the English dubbed version of <i>Die Wilden Kerle 2</i> (retitled as <i>The Wild Soccer Bunch</i> on the U.S DVD release), the Maverick Latino DVD of <i>Tangos Are For Two</i>, the First Run Features release of <i>Tuvalu</i>, and the Mexican Distrimax DVD of <i>Ladies' Night</i>.</font></li><li><font size="3">Was also seen on some French YouTube trailers for 2008-2009 Disney distributed films such as <i>Ponyo</i>.</font></li><li><font size="3">Overseas theatrical prints of <i>Die Hard With a Vengeance</i> were believed to contain this or the 1985 Touchstone Pictures logo in lieu of the 1994 20th Century Fox logo (the film was a co-production with [[Cinergi Pictures Entertainment|Cinergi]], which sold some international theatrical rights to Disney/Buena Vista). However, while just about all overseas TV, Video, and streaming releases start with the Cinergi logo, the European [[Touchstone Home Entertainment]] Blu-ray features this preceding Cinergi. Makes a surprise appearance on U.S prints (including DVD, VHS and TV airings) of <i>It Runs in the Family</i> after the 2001 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo. Also makes a strange reappearance on the UK iTunes viewing of <i>The Spectacular Now.</i> The 2018 UK produced film <i>Patrick </i>also uses this logo.</font></li><li><font size="3">It was also used as a de-facto Home Video logo on international Home Media prints of <i>Glass</i>, while the movie itself used the next logo.</font></li></ul></div><div><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><br/><u>Editors Note</u>: None.</font></font></font></font></font></font><div><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><br/></font></font></font></font></font></font></div><div><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><br/></font></font></font></font></font></font></div><div><font size="3">3rd logo</font></div><div><font size="3">(2018-)</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div>[[File:B5fe955784a7421c53ad2267e02290f0.png|352px|New Buena Vista International logo]]</div><div><font size="3"><u>Nickname</u>: "Draws and Slides II"</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Logo</u>: Same as before, but the logo is blue and looks brighter.
