Raymond Briggs/Blooming Production Ltd. (1994)

Raymond Briggs / Blooming Production Ltd. (1994) refers to a mid-1990s period when celebrated British illustrator and author Raymond Briggs licensed selected characters and artwork from his books—most famously The Snowman and Father Christmas—for international merchandising and animated-related products through Blooming Production Ltd. In 1994, Blooming Production acted as a rights management and production partner, handling approvals and distribution for items such as printed goods, promotional materials, and licensed merchandise, particularly in Japan and parts of Asia where Briggs’ work had strong appeal. This collaboration helped preserve Briggs’ distinctive hand-drawn style while expanding his presence beyond books and television specials into collectible and commercial formats during the early 1990s.
