Later on, the DVD format began to pick up steam, as Disney's VHS releases began to be phased out, until Bambi II, Disney's last retail VHS release was released in 2006, although the company continued to release movies on VHS as Disney Movie Club exclusives until the sought-after VHS of the 2006 hit, Cars was released in 2007.
