Créativité et Développement

Créativité et Développement or C&D was a French animation studio founded in 1987 by Jean Chalopin.[1] Chalopin had retained some of the assets of DIC Enterprises (which also includes the earliest animated series) in the sale to Andy Heyward and Bear Stern, these assets (notably the animation studio that had been established in Japan) where expanded into the new company. In April 1996, Chalopin sold the company, including its library (and the animation rights to Diabolik) to Saban International Paris (later renamed SIP Animation from 2002 to 2023), the latter being folded on October 24, 2001 into The Walt Disney Company through BVS Entertainment. In 2000, following the closure of Créativité et Développement and the company was folded into Saban Entertainment, as well as the lack of any Japanese content produced by the studio following a new law, K.K. C&D Asia was closed. Most of the K.K. C&D Asia employees now work for Production I.G.
