Its American arm was founded in 1982 as DIC Enterprises. The company's United States headquarters, established in 1982 and headed by Andy Heyward, Robby London and Michael Maliani, were in Burbank, California. In 1986, Andy Heyward bought the company, thus making the US headquarters the main base of operations. DiC was purchased by the Cookie Jar Group in 2008, which was itself purchased by DHX Media in 2012. Di C Entertainment was a production company that started as a subsidiary of Radio-Television Luxembourg in 1971, that would go on to produce many kids' cartoons, especially in the 1980s. Its name is an acronym for Diffusion, Information et Communication. The company is mostly remembered for its closing logos that appeared at the very end of its shows. Its most notable was the "Kid in Bed" logo, in which a camera zoomed in above a boy who was sleeping in his bed and through his bedroom window, where the DIC logo formed outside. This closing logo, first used in 1987, went through various variations before being replaced altogether in the early 2000s. More information on this and the other closing logos for DIC can be found here. As of 2008, the company has been acquired and become part of Cookie Jar Entertainment. Although the official pronunciation for the company's name is "deek", it has become easy for one to joke about the fact that the name is one letter away from sounding like "dick". DIC has come to be described as an acronym for "Do It Cheap", though in the early days, they worked with Tokyo Movie Shinsha (they weren't nearly as cheap as Filmation as TMS was very Expensive), only switching to studios like KKC and D Asia, Saerom and Sei Young later on as Disney and later Warner Bros were giving TMS more money for their shows. As a result, the higher-quality shows of company's heyday in The Eighties (including Inspector Gadget, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, MASK, Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats, Dinosaucers, and so on) would eventually give way to their unfortunately arguably better-remembered Dork Age, particularly its cartoons based on the Super Mario Bros and Sonic The Hedgehog video games, which are also a frequent source in Youtube Poop. It is also rather infamous among the anime community for its dub of Sailor Moon (although in that case it is often a subject of Mis Blamed since the voices, dub script, and most of the editing was done by Optimum Productions). They have also released EasyPlay DVDs in the late '90s, in which you can hear Inspector Gadget deliver an extremely long and detailed lecture on how to use it. This is somewhat justified since DVDs were still new at the time, though because you have to "move the glow" to the DiC logo and click on it, you already know how to use it anyway. * Action Man * Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground * The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin (co production with Alchemy II and Atkinson Film-Arts) * ALF: The Animated Series (co production with Alien Productions and Saban Entertainment) * ALF Tales (co production with Alien Productions and Saban Entertainment) * Alienators Evolution Continues (2001-2002) (co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and DreamWorks Television) * Later episodes of Alvin and The Chipmunks * Archies Weird Mysteries * Battletoads (pilot only) * Bill and Teds Excellent Adventures (when Hanna-Barbera lost the rights after the first season) * Bump in the Night * Captain N: The Game Master * Captain Planet and the Planeteers (The first three seasons only; Co-produced with Turner Program Services) * Care Bears (first season and first two movies, before losing the rights to Nelvana, and after winning the rights back, the Oopsy Does It movie and Adventures in Care-a-Lot series and specials, before losing the rights again, this time to Moon Scoop Entertainment) * The animated version of Dennis the Menace * Dinosaucers (co-produced by Columbia Pictures Television) * Dino Squad * The Double Dragon animated series * Extreme Dinosaurs * The Get Along Gang * G.I.

In 2000, with an investment by Bain Capital, Heyward re-purchased DIC Enterprises, but DIC and Disney still worked together for airings. He purchased Bain Capital's interest in 2004 and took the company public the following year. However by 2008, DIC was purchased and absorbed by Cookie Jar Entertainment. Cookie Jar themselves would be purchased in 2012 by canadian company DHX Media, who own all the DIC programming with a few exceptions.

The dub, originally only covering the first season and the first 25 episodes of Sailor Moon R, was originally aired in syndication, to minimal success, due to the time slot in which Sailor Moon had been placed. When it was picked up by Cartoon Network and aired on Toonami, it managed to gain some of the block's higher ratings. This resulted in the rest of Sailor Moon R, minus episode 67, to be licensed to DiC and dubbed. After this DiC had no interest in dubbing the remaining two seasons and lead to the show being dubbed by Cloverway Inc.

In addition to animated and live-action television shows such as Inspector Gadget (1983–1986), Heathcliff (1984–1988), Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1993), Madeline (1993–1994), Sonic the Hedgehog (1993–1994), Sabrina: The Animated Series(1999–2000), Liberty's Kids (2002–2003), Super Duper Sumos (2002–2003), Strawberry Shortcake (2003–2008), and Trollz (2005–2006), while under Disney, DIC produced live-action feature films, including Meet the Deedles (1998) and Inspector Gadget (1999), and licensed various anime series such as Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, and Speed Racer X. DiC was founded in Paris as OGAP (Office de Gestion et d'Action Publicitaire), an advertising company.In 1971, with an investment from the tabloid newspaper La Nouvelle République du Centre-Ouest, OGAP was incorporated as Diffusion Information Commercial (DiC). DiC developed into a full production company during the following decade, specializing in animation, and was renamed Diffusion Information Communications. DIC's American arm, DIC Enterprises, was founded in 1982 in Burbank, California by Andy Heyward, a former employee of Hanna-Barbera, along with Jean Chalopin and Bruno Bianchi. The company produced television animation for both network broadcasts and syndication, out-sourced its non-creative work overseas, and hired staff on a per-program basis to cut costs. For some in the industry DIC stood for "Do It Cheap". In 1985, DIC opened its own Japan-based animation facility for animation production on their shows to bypass overseas animation subcontractors. In December 1986, Heyward and other investors bought the company from Jean Chalopin in a $70 million leveraged buyout financed by Prudential Insurance Co, making the US headquarters the main base of operations, After the buyout, Chalopin, Bianchi and producer Tetsuo Katayama left the company to be replaced by Robby London and Michael Maliani.[5] After selling his shares in DIC, Chalopin formed the company C&D (Créativité et Développement) in 1987 and continued to make animated shows during the late 1980s and the 1990s. After the buyout, DIC was heavily in debt and the foreign rights to the DIC library were sold to Saban Productions, who then sold the rights back to Chalopin. At the time, Heyward considered Chalopin an enemy because of the purchase and the situation permanently poisoned their relationship. DIC sued Saban for damages; in 1991, both companies reached a settlement. In 1989, the company's name was changed to DiC Animation City. In 1993, DiC Animation City and Capital Cities/ABC formed a joint venture called DIC Entertainment LP. With ABC in 1994, DiC programmed two children's blocks, Dragon Club and Panda Club, in China. In 1996, DIC became a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, following Disney's acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC. In May 1998, DIC agreed to provide a children's programming block, Freddy's Firehouse, to soon to be launched Pax Net In 2000, with an investment by Bain Capital and Chase Capital Partners, Heyward re-purchased DIC Enterprises. He purchased Bain Capital's interest in 2004 and took the company public the following year. In January 2003, DIC announced three syndicated children's programming E/I blocks called DiC Kids Network. While in July, DIC Entertainment signed with POW! Entertainment on a TV series production deal starting with Stan Lee's Secret Super Six, about alien super powered teens taught by Lee about humanity In 2005, Mexico City-based Ánima Estudios was considering a partnership with DIC Entertainment. However, the latter studio wanted to focus independently on its own projects DIC Entertainment and CBS Corporation agreed to a new 3-hour long programming block for Saturday mornings on CBS called KOL Secret Slumber Party, which was launched on September 15, 2006. On September 15, 2007, a new programming block KEWLopolis premiered, a joint venture between DIC, CBS, and American Greetings. In April 2007, DIC Entertainment, Nelvana and NBC Universal Global Networks announced plans to launch KidsCo, a new international children's entertainment network. On June 20, 2008, it was announced that DIC Entertainment would be acquired by Cookie Jar Group. The deal was completed on July 23, 2008 and the company was immediately folded into Cookie Jar Entertainment. Cookie Jar was in turn acquired by DHX Media on October 22, 2012. DIC Entertainment is a film and television production company that began in 1971. It is often associated with children's programming but their large body of works reveal more than that. Originally, the company is from Luxembourg but has since made the United States its main base of operations. When Sunbow Productions lost the animation rights to the G.I. Joe franchise, it was DIC that picked it up two years later with the Operation: Dragonfire miniseries, then a second cartoon series, commonly known as the "DiC" series.
