In 1971, with an investment from the tabloid newspaper ''La Nouvelle République du Centre-Ouest'', it was incorporated as "'''D'''iffusion '''I'''nformation '''C'''ommercial". It developed into a full production company during the following decade, soon being renamed "'''D'''iffusion '''I'''nformation '''C'''ommunication", and becoming specialized in animation. In 1982, the American arm was founded and Chalopin, Andy Heyward, and Bruno Bianchi were in charge of the company. | ||
Heyward bought DIC in 1987 when Chalopin and Bianchi left, moving all operations to America. Chalopin turned what was left of the French arm into a new animation company, [[Créativité & Développement (France)|Créativité & Développement]]. DIC was turned into a limited partnership with Capital Cities/ABC (now [[ABC National IDs|ABC, Inc.]]") in 1993 and [[The Walt Disney Company]] in 1996, until Andy Heyward reacquired the company from Disney in 2000 with an investment by Bain Capital. | Heyward bought DIC in 1987 when Chalopin and Bianchi left, moving all operations to America.
