Some dude told me this, so i dont if its true, you might want to check up on it. He told me walmart pays the film companies a flat sum, and then walmart has rights to produce as many of those movies for sale. This would mean your ICE AGE movie was produced by walmart and not the film company.

This would also mean that Walmart is a totalitarian marxist organization disguised as small town southern hicks.

Media distribution companies usually produce video tapes in bulk for large accounts. They produce the product, stock the shelves, and control the inventory inside of big stores like K-mart or Wally World. They also handle the royalty payments to the owner of the product.

Handleman Co. is a large "media distributor" in the Detroit area. They got in trouble with K-mart with some kiddie tape that had 45 minutes of x-rated porno at the end of it.

It turned out they had bought "economy" VHS tapes from a California distributor. For an extra ten cents per tape, it would be delivered degaussed (erased), but Handleman wouldn't spend the money. Without knowing, or caring, what might have been on the tape previously, they mastered the shorter children's program over the previous contents. Then ten thousand copies were shipped to K-marts all over the country.

The stink was so bad that Detroit newspapers couldn't keep it covered up, and actually reported the details. Considering Handleman is run by wealthy socialist RATS, I enjoyed the schadenfreude.
