Joseph Clemens "Joe" Ruby (born March 30, 1933) is an American animator, television editor, writer, and producer; the co-founder with Ken Spears of television animation production company Ruby-Spears Productions.〔(Jack Kirby’s Heroes in Waiting )〕 ==Career == Ruby studied art and began his career in animation at Walt Disney Productions in the inbetweening department, later moving over to editing. He served in the Army and later worked for a short time in live-action television editing before moving to Hanna-Barbera Productions, where he met Ken Spears.〔 The two teamed up to become writers, penning teleplays for several animated and live-action television programs, both freelance and as on-staff writers for Hanna-Barbera and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.〔 For Hanna-Barbera, Ruby and Spears created ''Scooby-Doo'', ''Dynomutt, Dog Wonder'', and ''Jabberjaw'', among other programs. At Depatie-Freleng, they created ''The Barkleys'' and ''The Houndcats''. In the early 1970s, CBS president of children's programming Fred Silverman hired Ruby and Spears to supervise the production of CBS's Saturday morning cartoon lineup, a position they assumed at ABC when Silverman defected to that network.〔Shostak, Stu (05-02-2012).

"(Interview with Joe Ruby and Ken Spears )". ''Stu's Show.'' Retrieved 03-18-2013.〕 Ruby-Spears was bought by Hanna-Barbera's parent company, Taft Entertainment, in 1981, and its back catalog was sold along with the Hanna-Barbera library and studio in 1991 to Turner Broadcasting. Current reissues of Ruby-Spears shows on DVD and digital platforms are therefore copyrighted by Hanna-Barbera Productions.〔 Ruby continues to work with Spears on the production and development of animated series.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Ruby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
