Jean Tourane was a French filmmaker known for his footage of small animals. Among others he filmed a television series about a small duck named "Saturnin" during the 1960s. Tourane started his professional career as a painter and photographer of small animals, and moved from photography into film. After making a number of shorts, he made the first full-length Saturnin movie, and was in 1964 awarded a contract for 78 television episodes with French television. In the 1990s, clips from this series were merged into a new series called The Adventures of Dynamo Duck, which aired on Fox Kids in the United States.
Fun Facts
Within the first three minutes of The Secret of Magic Island, a duck drives a truck, a dog pours a cocktail, and a family of bunnies wash up and make breakfast. If you don’t think this is the most pleasant movie ever made, you obviously have never seen two bunnies playing miniature chess on a tiny train before. Or playing a game of pool in a seedy bar while smoking cigarettes.
Also, this movie beat the internet to the creation of Keyboard Cat by 50 years exactly. God bless the French!
