List of DIC programs

This is a list of programs produced and/or acquired by DIC Entertainment. Since 2012, 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] and later ABC Distribution Company and Buena Vista International Television, before DIC became re-independent in 2000 and started self-distributing internationally.

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.

Notes:

  1. These features are edited from several television episodes of the respective show, with new wrap-around animation running a small chunk of the features' total runtime.
  2. These features contain episodes of the series with ether minor or major edits to make them feature-length, e.g. removing intros and credits.
  3. Released on home video only in the United Kingdom
  4. Despite the name, the US release actually contains the "Family Feud" episodes: "Brother's Helper", "New Mummy in Town" and "The Heart's Arrow", although when originally planned the tape was meant to be released with the episodes "Ra, Ra, Ra, Ra", "Sleep Walk Like An Egyptian" and "The Gift of Geb", which is how it was when the tape was released in Spain.
  5. Reissued on VHS and DVD in 2003 as Mummies Alive! - The Beginning..., with the first three episodes instead of the first four (which was instead included as a bonus episode on the DVD release), but retaining the footage used from this release
  6. This is a "singalong" release, featuring stock footage and songs from the respective show with singalong lyrics.
