Ric (stylized as RiC, also known as RiC the Raven in English and RiC – Der Rabe in German) is a 5-minute British–German children's animated series, produced by King Rollo Films Ltd. in partnership with Ravensburger Film + TV GmbH.[2] The series has 52 episodes and follows the adventures of RiC, a blue raven which appears in a different role in each episode, such as a pilot, viking, or thief. Before the series appeared, the character was featured in a series of 30-second shorts produced by King Rollo Films Ltd. in the late 80's.[3]
The series aired in the United Kingdom on ITV and Channel 4, Fox Kids in Central and Eastern Europe, and on JimJam internationally.[4][5] Due to the large popularity the series has in Germany, Your Family Entertainment AG,[6] who is also the copyright owner of the series, launched a free-to-air television channel with the same name, being available in German countries and with a localized feed for Slovakia.[7]
