List of DIC programs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of programs produced and/or acquired by DIC Entertainment. Much of DIC's catalogue is currently owned by WildBrain, the successor in interest to Cookie Jar Group (which acquired DIC in 2008).[1][2]

In 1990, DIC signed an international distribution deal with the Italian studio Silvio Berlusconi Communications, covering five or six series.[3] In 2006, DIC reclaimed the international distribution rights to 20 of its series from The Walt Disney Company, the successor in interest to Créativité et Développement.[4]
