Snoopy's Home Video Library

Hi-Tops Video was the original distributor of the first VHS releases of the majority of the Peanuts television specials. These specials were distributed as part of a series, Snoopy's Home Video Library.
Some other Peanuts specials, such as A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, were not distributed by Hi-Tops Video, instead being distributed by Kartes Video Communications, as well as some early VHS releases of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. Some of the specials released in the Snoopy's Home Video Library series were earlier released by Media Home Entertainment on tapes with two or three specials appearing. The video distribution rights of all the Peanuts specials were later given to Paramount Home Entertainment from 1994 to 2007, then Warner Home Video from 2008 onwards.

Other shows and products

Some other original video series, such as Little Schoolhouse, were produced for Hi-Tops Video. Hi-Tops Video releases of The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin were designed to be compatible with the Teddy Ruxpin doll.
