Flying Bark Productions

Background:
Flying Bark Productions was founded in 1962 in Israel by Yoram Gross as "Yoram Gross Films". In 1968, it moved to Australia, where it made Dot and the Kangaroo. The film was such a hit that eight more sequels followed. In 1998, it teamed up with EM.TV Television to distribute it's shows around the world. In 2007, when EM.TV Television closed down, the company was renamed Flying Bark Productions.
