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 company made famous for the success on franchises such as Dot, Blinky Bill and Tabaluga. 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. The Yoram Gross/EM.TV library was owned and sold by Studio 100 in 2008. 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. in 2014, after the theatrical release of Maya the Bee: The Movie, which is based on the Maya the Bee CGI series and the book of the same name, Flying Bark was the only high-end animation studio in Australia, continued making animated series for ABC3, Seven Network and ABC Kids, as well as for television and streaming services beginning with CGI adaption of Vic the Viking.
