Talk:DIC Entertainment

message: Is it DiC or DIC?  It's spelled both ways here.  I always thought it was DiC (judging from the logos), but the official website makes it seem as though DIC is correct.  Can anyone find some information about which way it should be?  Imaginaryoctopus(talk) 06:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it is DIC, not DiC, because over the end credits for many of its shows, specials, and movies, it is spelled that way. "DiC" is also spelled completely using capitalization when it appears on video and DVD packaging. MattFisher 22:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The logo on their web site shows it as DiC, although text on the site shows it as DIC. Corporate page Netmaster5k 11:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's "DIC". As indicated in the article, it was originally an acronym. However, "DiC" is also correct, since the logo has a dotted (i.e., lowercase) "i". Brittany Ka 14:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: When did Tribune Entertainment start distributing DiC's cartoons?  King Shadeed 00:12, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tribune Entertainment 

message: DiC's distributors were: Viacom Enterprises (on some cartoons), LBS Communications, Buena Vista Television, Saban (both until 2001), and its current distributors Tribune Entertainment (with most cartoons), Warner Bros. Television with Captain Planet and The Smurfs, Sony Pictures Television with The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters, MGM's Stargate Infinity, and All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series, and finally Alliance Atlantis Communications' Ace Lightning.

thread_title:  DiC's Distributors 

message: The mistakes comes from anglophones who assume that DiC is an American company. In actuality, DiC was started in Luxembourg by a Frenchman (Jean Chalopin). He used the acronym DiC for Distribution Information Communication. Since DiC means nothing in French (good or bad), he saw no reason why not to use the acronym. Why should he have worried that in some obscure language it might mean something? That's why he kept his sensible and meaningful acronym. Whether DiC sounds funny to some anglophones or some woloffophones is irrelevant.

text: That clip hardly puts the controversy to rest...several of the early ones could go either way.  In fact, one of them sounds an awful lot like a child with an accent of some sort saying 'dick'.  Regardless, the company's originators ought to have put some thought into finding a creative (and less offensive) name for their children's programming production company, instead of being lazy and using an ill-chosen acronym.  Had their company's original name contained words like 'Foundation' and 'United', would they have chosen to call themselves 'FuC' (pronounced 'fuke', of course)?  One would think that a company entering a foreign market would take the time to find out if its own name, in its original language, has any particular meaning in the tongue(s) spoken in that market.  I know that if I were running a company trying to distribute children's television programming in Central America, for example, I would make darn sure that my company's name didn't sound like a slang term for 'penis' in spanish!  But maybe that's just me...  -Grammaticus Repairo 16:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  2007 DiC Logo 

message: Austin's DiC end logo fan (talk) has uploaded the screen capture of the one of the first DIC customized end logos ever featuring Inspector Gadget -- which was tagged onto the end of the 1983 season. I like that one - if I never seen this custom logo, it's below. Austin's DiC end logo fan also uploaded a screen cap of the The Littles's customized end logo featuring Dinky Little, which was throughtout its entire run and spanning for 3 seasons from 1983-1986:

Although we have 2 DIC customized end logos, those three pictures are missing: The Christmas version of the "Green Vortex" logo, the DIC "Orange Vortex" logo, and the yellow version of the DIC "Vortex" logo (seen on Heathcliff: The Movie). --Austin's DiC end logo fan 01:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inspector Gadget DIC 

message: The article must include about the heavy and childish edition made to joys of japanese animation. Some anime series had a great hit in many countries around the world, but due DiC and it's "better improvement" changing background music (even it was instrumental),in United States was a great failure. One example, is Saint Seiya (called Knights of Zodiac) had a incredible sucess in Latin America and Europe, but in USA not. I understand they made some edition because it was violent, but changing the storyline and background music was unnecessary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.174.15.9 (talk) 01:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maybe add more to the image caption? 

message: It wasn't RTL at all, but rather the "Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion", later CLT-UFA and now RTL, who founded DiC, and was the owner of RTL. Let me explain: Diffusion, Information Communications (DIC) was formed in France in 1971 by Jean Chalopin as the production division of the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion, a long existing media company, later CLT-UFA and now RTL Group.
