A Double Feature consists of two previous VHS or DVD releases put together in a 2-in-1 VHS/DVD bundle. Three double feature VHS releases were made exclusively for Blockbuster video rental stores in the US in 1999 and 2002.

In 2007, Anchor Bay Entertainment began releasing double-sided DVDs containing two previously released DVDs. The contents of the DVDs remained exactly the same, but on double-sided discs with new covers. Lionsgate re-released the DVDs with double-sided discs as well, and released a few of their own double feature titles, including some HiT Favorites DVDs and one Spanish double feature. Universal, however, re-released the DVDs on two separate discs starting in 2015.

Some Double Features included non-Thomas & Friends DVDs with a Thomas DVD. Sony Pictures released Thomas and the Magic Railroad along The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland in 2007. 20th Century Fox also released several Double Features with one Bob the Builder DVD and one Thomas DVD in the same year.
