Flying Bark Productions Pty. Ltd. is an Australian entertainment and animation studio. The studio acts as a full-service production facility across feature films, television and an assorted range of digital content. The studio was established by Yoram and Sandra Gross in 1967 as Yoram Gross Film Studios.
In 1996, the company's interest was sold to Village Roadshow Pictures, who renamed the company to Yoram Gross-Village Roadshow.[1] In 1997, it made a pact with Europe-based EM.TV & Merchandising AG, who handled a joint pact.[2] EM.TV bought out Village Roadshow's interest in 1999 when Village Roadshow was seeking a exit from television production, which was renamed to Yoram Gross-EM.TV.[3] In January 2006, EM.TV & Merchandising under their entertainment division EM. Entertainment acquired the remaining 50% stake of Australian entertainment and animation studio joint venture Yoram Gross EM.TV from it's founders. By October 2006 following their acquisition of the remaining 50% stake, Yoram Gross EM.TV announced their restructed and re-branded the company under it's current name to Flying Bark Productions with the rebranded company plans to expanded their portfolio into the adult-animated and children's genre.[4][5]
In 2008, Studio 100 bought out EM.TV's stake in the company, when EM.TV got out of the entertainment business.[6]
