List of DIC programs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of programs produced and/or acquired by DIC Entertainment. As of 2021, most of the DIC library is currently owned by WildBrain through its in-name-only unit, Cookie Jar Group.

International rights to DIC's pre-1990 library was owned by C&D Entertainment until 1996, until Saban acquired their assets and so international distribution moved to Saban International/BVS International. This remained until 2001 when Disney bought the Fox Family Worldwide franchise of libraries and assets, as well as the 75,7% majority stake in Fox Kids Europe (later renamed to Jetix Europe), making international distribution rights to its pre-1990 library moved to Disney. In March 2006, DIC Entertainment re-acquired the international rights to 20 shows of its pre-1990 library from Disney.[1]

The international distribution rights to the post-1990 library are initially started off being distributed by Italian studio Silvio Berlusconi Communications,[2] then it would later held by Buena Vista International Television, before DIC became re-independent in 2000.

Many of DIC's shows that were not re-acquired back by DIC Entertainment, including most shows produced by DIC's French division which are part of the Créativité et Développement library, are currently owned by The Walt Disney Company through BVS Entertainment.
