DIC Entertainment: Difference between revisions

On July 23, 2008, DIC closed its doors and was acquired by the Canadian [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] and became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Months later, Cookie Jar decided to take over and the studio was folded into Cookie Jar (later "[[DHX Media]]", now "[[WildBrain]]"). Currently, most of the DIC library is owned by WildBrain after its acquisition of Cookie Jar Entertainment, with the following exceptions: ''The Real Ghostbusters'', ''Dinosaucers'', ''Stunt Dawgs'', ''The Karate Kid'', and ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'' (owned by [[Sony Pictures Television]]), ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' (the first three seasons were produced by DIC and the remainder of the series was produced by [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]]; the series is owned by [[Warner Bros. Entertainment]] via [[Turner Entertainment Co.]]), ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' (owned by [[Bagdasarian Productions]]), ''ALF: The Animated Series'' and ''ALF Tales'' (owned by [[Alien Productions]]; the holding company for the ''ALF'' franchise with distribution rights handled by [[Shout! Factory]]), the 1989 adaptation of ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' (owned by [[Hasbro]] via [[Entertainment One]]), ''Kissyfur'' (owned by [[NBCUniversal Syndication Studios]]), ''Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater'' and ''Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures'' (owned by [[MGM Television]]), ''Where's Wally?'' (known as ''Where's Waldo?'' in the US; owned by [[Mattel Creations]] via [[HiT Entertainment]]), ''Sailor Moon'' (owned by [[Toei Animation]]; current license lies with [[Viz Media]]), and ''Camp Candy'' (the first two seasons were produced by DIC and the third season was produced by [[Saban Entertainment]]), ''Meet the Deedles'', ''Genius'', and the 1999 live-action ''Inspector Gadget'' film and its sequel (both owned by The Walt Disney Company).
