History
The name BRB comes after its three founders: Tito Basto, José Rodriguez, and Claudio Biern Boyd, who founded the company in 1972 as a merchandising agency in Spain –where the company is headquartered–. At first, BRB bought distribution rights in Spain to some of popular characters of foreign studios such as Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros., and television series as The Pink Panther, Tom and Jerry, The Muppets and Charlie's Angels.[3] In 1975, BRB began licensing and distributing animation series both domestically and worldwide, including The Wood of Tallac, Banner and Flappy and Tom Sawyer, all anime series made by Nippon Animation Co., Ltd. in Japan, to start beginning BRB's long relationship with the Japanese animation studio.

Other series co-produced with Nippon Animation were Dogtanian, Willy Fogg and Football Stories (with Naranjito, the official mascot of 1982 FIFA World Cup). In 1985, BRB contracted Wang Films Productions in Taiwan their first international hit: The World of David the Gnome, aired in the United States on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block two years later.
