VHS and DVD in the United Kingdom, alongside some acquisions from third-party companies. History ER formed Right Entertainment at the end of July 2001, and signed a $500,000 advance UK/Ireland distribution deal with Universal Pictures Video to distribute their releases. Right's release schedule would start off with VHS releases of Barbie in the Nutcracker and existing ER property Cubeez in 2001, followed up with Clifford the Big Red Dog and Casper the Friendly Ghost releases, and DVD release of Barbie following up in 2002. The company also announced an international home video expansion for their properties, beginning with Universal obtaining non-UK/Ireland home video rights to Barbie in the Nutcracker, but ruled out if Universal would distribute other properties outside the UK as well. Right Entertainment's first product - Barbie in the Nutcracker, was released on VHS on 29 October 2001 to a huge commercial success, which went on to sell 100,000 units within its first week of release. By April 2002, after which the movie was released on DVD as well, 700,000 copies were sold across both formats. This deal later led to home video and TV rights being secured for the sequel - Barbie as Rapunzel. Right secured home video rights to the CITV arts and crafts series Finger Tips in June 2002 after ER acquired worldwide distribution rights. This was followed up with UK home video rights to Clifford the Big Red Dog the following month as ER already held consumer product rights to the franchise itself. In April 2004, Right secured UK home video rights to Clifford's Puppy Days.
