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. The studio became famous upon the success of franchises such as Dot, Blinky Bill and Tabaluga.

After season 2 of Blinky Bill, Village Roadshow purchased Gross' animation studio in 1996 under the new name of Yoram Gross Village Roadshow. Two years later, it teamed up with EM.TV Television to distribute its shows around the world after a buyout from Village Roadshow. In 2007, when EM.TV Television closed down, the company was renamed "Flying Bark Productions". The Yoram Gross/EM.TV library was sold to Studio 100 in 2008; that same year, they acquired Flying Bark as well after EM.TV changed its name to EM.Sport Media AG.

In 2012, Flying Bark formed a multi-year production deal with Studio 100, which would distribute their films under the Studio 100 Animation label, with Flying Bark aiming to release a film every two years. As of 2014, after the theatrical release of Maya the Bee: The Movie (based on the Maya the Bee CGI series and the book of the same name), Flying Bark is the only high-end animation studio in Australia, producing animated series for ABC3, Seven Network and ABC Kids, as well as for television and streaming services.
