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. 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.
The series aired in the United Kingdom on ITV and Channel 4, Fox Kids in Central and Eastern Europe, and on JimJam internationally. Due to the large popularity the series has in Germany, Your Family Entertainment AG, 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.
