Hallmark Home Entertainment, Artisan Home Entertainment, & Family Home Entertainment Kids are the home video companies known for producing family home entertainment. Originally known as Cabin Fever Entertainment, it was founded in 1979 by Robert Halmi Jr. and Robert Halmi Sr. as Robert Halmi Incorporated (RHI) and merged with Hal Roach Studios in 1988 to form Qintex Entertainment. Hallmark Cards purchased RHI in 1994 and renamed it to Hallmark Entertainment. In 2006, the Halmis, along with affiliates of Kelso & Company, reacquired the company and revived the RHI name. RHI has an extensive library that includes material from its Hallmark Entertainment and Qintex Entertainment predecessors, including most of the classic Hal Roach library (Topper, Laurel and Hardy, etc.), the Lonesome Dove television franchises and the theatrical and home video rights to the 1929-1938 Our Gang/Little Rascals shorts In March 2012, RHI was renamed Sonar Entertainment.
