Ruby-Spears Productions was formed by Joseph Ruby, Jr. and Kenneth Spears in 1977. However, they did not use a logo until September 1978 when it was sold to [[Filmways Television|Filmways]] that same year. In 1981, Taft Broadcasting Co. acquired Ruby-Spears, which became a sister company to [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]] and closed in 1992. It formed a short-lived partnership with Ashi Productions in 1994, closing again in 1996. Today, a majority of Ruby-Spears' library is owned by Time Warner, except Rambo: The Force of Freedomwhich is owned by StudioCanal (with Lionsgate handling home video rights), It's Punky Brewsterwhich is owned by NBCUniversal, LLC (with Shout! Factory handling DVD rights), and Alvin & The Chipmunks which is released by [[Paramount Home Media Distribution]] Paramount Home Entertainment through ownership of [[Bagdasarian Productions]]. | Ruby-Spears Productions was formed by Joseph Ruby, Jr. and Kenneth Spears in 1977.
