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]] (thru [[Turner Entertainment Co.]]), 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 owned by [[Bagdasarian Productions]].
