DIC Snag Their Properties Back

[ZariusTwo]

Too bad Captain Planet is maintained by Cartoon Network (due to three seasons being produced by Hannah Barbera) so DIC can't get the rights to distribute the first three (with Whoopi Golbderg voicing Gaia), not to mention theres' again the matter of Sonic Satam not showing up on the list.

Who owns the right to The Real Ghostbusters? Was it DIC?

I swaer I saw Sony in it or something.

DiC owns the rights to the likenesses and the episodes of the Real Ghostbusters, but Sony owns the rights to the franchise and the name.

An example of this would be the Extreme Ghostbusters episode "A Temporary Insanity", where the animators for Sony drew a mannequin in the Firehouse lounge of Peter in his identical Real Ghostbusters appearance. However, DiC raised a fuss and so for the rebroadcastings they had to go in and digitally blurr Peter's face so you can't really see it.

The Real Ghostbusters DVDs would appear to be a joint release between Sony and DiC, now that they're finally cooperating.

Yeay for Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, Super Mario, and Dennis the Menace (especially Dennis the Menace). but I dunno if I really care much for some others on the list. Also, I found the show the Littles being absent, so I wouldn't rule out Sonic SatAm just yet.

Now, what I want to ask a few rhetorical questions here.

Does this mean:

We'll see the entire run of Gadget, including the infamous Capeman episodes on disk?

Mario 3 and Mario world (provided they can get the permission for the Captain N segemtns) will be available? (and if the N's aren't negotiable, will SMW be cut into 6 1/2 half hours)

There's more to the list than just the ones mentioned?

They'll rerelase the Heathcliff movies on Disk? I'm pretty sure there's 2... I know one was, but I haven't been able to get it.

They could make a deal with certain companies and release stuff like Alf the animated series (2 episodes were on season 2 of the DVD sets)?

And one more thing. Did DIC animation handle the last episodes of Alvin and the Chipmunks?

Good for DIC.

Hopefully we will finally get all those shows on DVS as well as their G.I. Joe seasons.
