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 AT&T's WarnerMedia, except ''Rambo: The Force of Freedom'' which is owned by [[StudioCanal (France)|StudioCanal]] (with [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment|Lionsgate]] handling home video rights), ''It's Punky Brewster'' which is owned by NBCUniversal Media, LLC (with Shout! Factory handling DVD rights), and ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' which is released by ViacomCBS's [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] through ownership of [[Bagdasarian Productions]]. | Ruby-Spears Productions was formed by Joseph '''Ruby''', Jr. and Kenneth '''Spears''' in 1977.
