Tell-Tale Productions

Tell-Tale Productions was an animation and live-action studio, established by Will Brenton and Iain Lauchlan in 1964. The company first produced live shows, and later went on to produce TV shows.

In 2004, Entertainment Rights acquired the studio; ER was later absorbed into Classic Media, which in turn was acquired by DreamWorks Animation in 2012. As of 2016, the back catalogue library of Tell-Tale Productions (excluding Tweenies) are owned by NBCUniversal through Universal Pictures.
