An animation company, which began in France, before opening up shop in the USA. At the end of some of their shows, a kid has pronounced it as "dick" before, but now, it is pronounced "
deek," for obvious reasons (and the not-so-obvious reason of its French origin.)
Known for cartoons such as "Sonic the Hedgehog," "
Inspector Gadget," and "
Sabrina: The Animated Series."
Many people did not know this (or just assumed it meant the obvious double entendre`,) but DIC has been confirmed to stand for "Dissemination, Information et Communication."
The company thrives today, and an updated logo which says "The Incredible World of DIC" is their trade dress. Hmm, do I see an innuendo here? ;-)
The company has heavily cut
foreign anime, for American audiences...
amn, what DICks!
