The Video Collection was a firm responsible for the distribution of many of the early videos in the UK up 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 of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. It was later known as VCI. In the US, Strand Home Video served as the American equivalent, including a near identical logo; it was a subsidiary of The Video Collection. After suffering financial losses in 1995, it underwent an overhaul and had its name changed to VCI. The company mainly served as a video label for ITV programmes.
