Many of the movies produced since 1994 have been translated into English and other languages ​​and distributed by the companies Midas Interactive and Phoenix Games until 2009 on PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii.

The original distributor for the movies on VHS and audio cassette were Best Buy Video and Jünger Verlag, later the company's films were distributed by random DVD companies, where Power Channel GmbH and Best Entertainment were two of the most common. Later, DVDs and CDs were sold in their own online shop. Until 2014, the films were distributed by Digi Planet International GmbH. Today the J. E. Schum GmbH & Co.

Since around 2015, Dingo Pictures has gained notoriety through reviews of its films on the video platform YouTube. A snippet from the Italian dub of the film *Abenteuer im Land der Dinosaurier* is the first video in the "Important Videos" playlist - probably the most famous playlist on YouTube.

Some films are currently considered lost both in English and in German.

In March 2019, the Russian YouTuber "milan vosk", who lives in Germany, drove to the house and made a video about it.

Today their movies can be found in EuroShops in Europe.

## Criticism

Their works have been criticized due to its English dubs, which usually only consist of a handful of people, as well as its poor animation.
