Ruby-Spears Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Ruby-Spears Productions''' was an American animation studio founded by ''Scooby-Doo'' creators and former [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]] employees Joseph '''Ruby''', Jr. and Kenneth '''Spears''' in 1977 as a subsidiary of [[Filmways Television|Filmways]]. However, they did not use a logo until September 1978 when the first show from the studio, ''Fangface'', premiered. In 1981, Taft Broadcasting Co. acquired Ruby-Spears, which became a sister company to Hanna-Barbera and broke in 1992. It formed a short-lived partnership with Ashi Productions in 1994, but the studio shut-down two years later. Today, a majority of Ruby-Spears' library is owned by [[Warner Bros. Discovery]], except ''Rambo: The Force of Freedom'' which is owned by [[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]].
