DIC Entertainment: Difference between revisions

* ''Inspector Gadget'': A 5-note horn stinger, followed by a "twoing" sound as Gadget's mallet "dots" the "i". Afterwards, there is a three-note trumpet outro. This is a shortened variation of a background music cue often used on the show to end scenes in an episode, composed by Shuki Levy.

**On some episodes of the Hungarian airings of the show, it had the music from the 2004 [[Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] logo, followed by the 1996 [[Saban Entertainment|Saban International]] and 1999 [[Fox Kids Worldwide|Fox Kids]] logos. The former is most likely due to a reverse plastering error.

'''Availability:''' Seen only on both ''The Littles'' and ''Inspector Gadget''. Nowadays, they are plastered over, but are retained on older prints.

*''The Littles'' version has been retained on almost all DVD releases (including the [[Sterling Entertainment Group|Sterling]]/[[NCircle Entertainment|NCircle]] DVD of ''The Littles Christmas Special'' and the 2 complete series boxsets) and re-airings of the series.

*This doesn't appear when ''The Littles'' made the rounds as part of a syndicated package of DIC shows appearing on local stations syndicated by [[Tribune Entertainment]] between 2003 and the summer of 2008 (nicknamed the "[[DIC Kids Network]]" and later the "Cookie Jar Kids Network"); the end credit animation is slowed down except for the audio to run at the allotted time so they plastered this logo with the 2001 logo.

**This also doesn't appear on some modern non-English prints of the series, as the [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar]] logo plasters it, with the music intact.

*The ''Inspector Gadget'' version is less common than ''The Littles'' version. It was seen on many first-season episodes of the series, starting with the episode "The Ruby". Some early episodes up to "Don't Hold Your Breath" generally had the "Vortex", along with some later episodes. The second season reverts this logo back to the Vortex logo (unlike ''The Littles'', that used its variant throughout its entire run); this is due to the series taking a break in 1984.

** Most prints of the series replace this logo with newer DIC logos, usually the 3rd or 4th logos, or the [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar]] logo.

** The logo was retained on the Australian DVD releases of the series, as well as on many European [[Fox Kids Worldwide|Fox Kids]]/[[Jetix Europe|Jetix]] DVDs (this is because the prints [[Fox Kids Worldwide|Fox Kids]] Europe used were from the original masters of the series).

**This was last seen on American television through late '90s airings of ''Inspector Gadget'' on [[Nickelodeon]] and was also found on many early [[Family Home Entertainment]] releases (with the 1985 logo).

** If the show is ever rerun, it has a slim chance of appearing, but it most likely is plastered by the [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar]] logo.
