In 2005, Goodtimes filed for bankrupcty, and its assets were sold to Gaiam. Goodtimes eventually moved on to DVD and continued releasing the Jetlag films, but the company couldn't stay afloat. When this stopped working, they bought out HGV and used the HGV name to release the films, leading to the demise of HGV's brand in 1998.

They contracted with Columbia Pictures, NBC, and Universal Studios to release their films on Disc and Tape. Goodtimes and the Cayre Brothers eventually developed a bad reputation and sought out a way to release their films without any reference to the Cayre Brothers. Disney eventually sued Goodtimes over this, and won, but the court did not require Goodtimes to pay a fine - they only had to print their name on the boxes to avoid any confusion. Goodtimes often released these films with similar titles and boxart to the latest Disney movies, even if the plot of the film was different. When their contract expired, the Cayre Brothers approached Jetlag Productions, a Japanese studio, to continue making animated films.
