DIC Toon-Time Video

Background
DIC Toon-Time Video was another home video imprint of DIC, originally created as part of a deal between BMG Video and DIC in September 1992, and later used following another North American deal with Buena Vista Home Video in 1993, being used until 2000.

Following DIC's sale from Disney back to Andy Heyward, DIC formed a new home video division - DIC Home Entertainment, in 2001.

1st Logo (October 9, 1992-March 23, 1993)


Visuals: It starts like the 1990 version of DIC's "Kid in Bed" logo, except the spiked star is frozen in place. An angular yellow cartoon TV with the DIC logo chroma-keyed on its screen zooms from the star towards the screen. "TOON-TIME VIDEO" fades below it in a crude font, with 2 eyes in place of the 2 "O"s in "TOON".

Technique: Computer graphics.

Audio: Same as the TV counterpart.

Availability: Only appears on BMG Video-distributed DIC VHS releases.
 * Appears on Wish Kid - Mom, Dad, You're Fired!, ProStars - The Valley of the Snow Falcon, Hammerman - Defeated Graffiti, Captain N: The Game Master - Gameboy, among others.
 * The BVHV reissues of a few select releases plasters this logo with the standard 1990 DIC logo.

2nd Logo (1993-1994)


Visuals: Just the standard 1990 DIC logo with no video indicator whatsoever.

Technique: Same as the 1990 DIC logo.

Audio: Same as the 1990 DIC logo.

Avability: Appears on several early Buena Vista Home Video-distributed DIC releases.

2nd Logo (June 7, 1994-July 12, 2000)


Visuals: Against a gray background, the yellow TV from before with a screen zooms out, rocking left and right as it does so, and then settles the center of the screen against an egg-shaped circle. Then, a button on the right side of the TV flashes, the TV screen lights up, and the DIC logo (with "DiC" in it's standard font in ) appears in the center. Then, "TOON•TIME VIDEO", in and in a different font, appears in blue.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as the 1990 DIC logo, with whooshing sounds added as the TV zooms out, a thud as the button flashes, and a brief cymbal when the DIC logo appears and flashes.

Availability: Appears on DIC VHS releases distributed by Buena Vista Home Video.
