The Video Collection was a firm responsible for the distribution of many of the Thomas videos in the UK until 28 August 1995. Their catalogue included many children's shows like Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, Rosie and Jim, Tots TV, Brum, Magical Adventures of Mumfie, Sooty, Rock 'n' Soul, and many Hanna-Barbera series. The company mainly served as a video label for ITV programmes. After suffering financial losses in 1995, it underwent an overhaul and its name was changed to VCI.
In the US and Canada, Strand Home Video served as its American equivalent, including a similar logo, as it was a subsidiary of The Video Collection.
