Ruby-Spears Productions (also known as Ruby-Spears Enterprises) was a Burbank, California-based entertainment production company that specialized in animation. The firm was founded in 1977 by veteran writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. ==History== Both Ruby and Spears started out as sound editors at Hanna-Barbera, and later branched out into writing stories for such programs as ''Space Ghost'' and ''The Herculoids''. In 1968, they were assigned the task of developing a mystery-based cartoon series for Saturday morning, the result of which was ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!''. They were also writers and producers for DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.〔Shostak, Stu (05-02-2012). "(Interview with Joe Ruby and Ken Spears )". ''Stu's Show.'' Retrieved 03-18-2013.〕 The firm's credits include the animated series ''Fangface'', ''Fangface and Fangpuss'', ''The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show'', ''Thundarr the Barbarian'', ''Rubik the Amazing Cube'', the 1983 version of ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' series, the 1988 ''Superman'' series, and the American ''Mega Man'' cartoon series. One series, ''Piggsburg Pigs!'', used Canadian voice talent rather than American voice talent like most of their shows. Ruby-Spears was also responsible for the animated sequence in the 1988 film ''Child's Play''. The Ruby-Spears studio was founded in 1977 as a subsidiary of Filmways Television and was sold in late 1981 to Taft Broadcasting, becoming a sister company to Hanna-Barbera Productions. In 1991, Ruby-Spears was spun off into RS Holdings while most of the original Ruby-Spears library (its pre-1991 library) was sold along with Hanna-Barbera to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn merged with Time Warner in 1996. The Ruby-Spears studio closed in 1996.〔Shostak, Stu (01-16-2013). "(Interview with Joe Ruby and Ken Spears )". ''Stu's Show.''
