IC Entertainment (pronounced "deek") is an international film and television production company which was founded in 1971 as DIC Audiovisuel by Jean Chalopin in Luxembourg, as a subsidiary of Radio-Television Luxembourg (RTL). The company's name was originally an acronym for Diffusion, Information et Communication. The company's United States headquarters, established in 1982 and headed by Andy Heyward, Robby Londonand Michael Maliani, are in Burbank, California.

In 1986, Heyward bought the company, thus making the US headquarters the main base of operations. DIC is currently independent, but at different times in the past was owned (at times outright, and at times with a half-interest) by The Walt Disney Company, Capital Cities/ABC (before being acquired by Disney) and Bain Capital.

In addition to animated (and occasionally live-action) television shows, DIC produced live-action feature films while under Disney, including 1998's Meet the Deedles and 1999's Inspector Gadget. One current project of DIC's Heyward is an animated series starring billionaire Warren Buffett, The Secret Millionaire's Club.[1]

In early 2006, DIC Entertainment and CBS Corporation signed a multi-year deal to unveil a new 3-hour long programming block for Saturday mornings on CBS. The resulting "KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS" was launched the following fall. [2] On September 15, 2007, a new programming block: KEWLopolis premiered, a joint venture between DIC, CBS, and American Greetings.

DIC's long list of cartoon shows that they have produced include C.O.P.S, super mario bros 3, the adventures of teddy ruxpin, bill and ted's excellent adventures and the 88'- 91 version of alvin and the chipmunks

Of all their many animated series, my two favorites were ALF and
Inspector Gadget.
