DiC Entertainment (pronounced "deek") is an international film and television production company which was created in 1971 by Jean Chalopin in Luxembourg, as a subsidiary of Radio-Television Luxembourg (RTL). DIC stands for Diffusion, Information et Communication. The company's United States headquarters, established in 1982 and headed by Andy Heyward, Robby London and Michael Maliani, are in Burbank, California. In 1986, Heyward bought the company, thusly 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.
