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 Paramount Global's [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] through ownership of [[Bagdasarian Productions]]. | '''Ruby-Spears Productions''' was formed by Joseph '''Ruby''', Jr. and Kenneth '''Spears''' in 1977.
