Image Entertainment Signs With Disney Unit

Image Entertainment Inc., a Chatsworth maker of laser discs, signed an exclusive license agreement with Walt Disney Co.’s Buena Vista Home Video unit to make, market and distribute Buena Vista video products on laser discs. Under the agreement, Image will release two movies--”Dick Tracy” and “Pretty Woman”--on laser disc in January.

Image also said it stopped making and distributing adult films on laser discs about eight weeks ago. Image’s list of adult titles had varied from 100 and 200, according to David Del Grosso, vice president for marketing of Image. Del Grosso said the change was unrelated to the Buena Vista contract.
