Donald Duck appeared in comedic roles in animated cartoons . Donald 's first appearance was in The Wise Little Hen ( 1934 ) , but it was his second appearance in Orphan 's Benefit which introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse .

Merrie Melodies is an American animated series of comedy short films produced by Warner Bros. from 1931 to 1969 , during the golden age of American animation . As with its sister series , Looney Tunes , it featured cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd . Between 1934 and 1943 , the Merrie Melodies series were distinguished from the black-and-white , Buddy or Porky Pig-starring Looney Tunes shorts by an emphasis on one-shot stories in color featuring Warner Bros.-owned musical selections . After Bugs Bunny became the breakout recurring star of Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes went to color in the early 1940s , the two series gradually lost their distinctions and shorts were assigned to each series more randomly . Merrie Melodies was originally produced by Harman-Ising Pictures from 1931 to 1933 , and then Leon Schlesinger Productions from 1933 to 1944 . Schlesinger sold his studio to Warner Bros. in 1944 , and the newly renamed Warner Bros. Cartoons continued production until 1963 . It was outsourced to DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Format Productions from 1964 to 1967 , and Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation resumed production for its final two years . Three of the Merrie Melodies films ( Tweetie Pie , Speedy Gonzales and Birds Anonymous ) won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and another three ( Duck Amuck , One Froggy Evening and What 's Opera , Doc ? ) have been inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked the Warner Bros. Cartoons ( ranked as Looney Tunes ) the third Greatest Cartoon of All Time ( out of 60 ) , one of only three film series to make the list ( the other two being the Pink Panther series and Tom and Jerry ) .
Looney Tunes is an American animated comedy series produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969 during the golden age of American animation alongside its sister series Merrie Melodies .

Coyote and many other cartoon characters . Looney Tunes ' name was inspired by Walt Disney 's musical series Silly Symphonies . They initially showcased musical compositions whose rights were held by Warner 's music publishing interests through the adventures of cartoon characters such as Bosko and , after losing him , Buddy . The animation studio gained a higher profile , however , following their addition of directors Tex Avery and Chuck Jones and voice actor Mel Blanc . From 1942 to 1964 , Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies were the most popular animated shorts in movie theaters . Looney Tunes has since become a worldwide media franchise , spawning several television series , feature films , comic books , music albums , video games , and amusement park rides , as well as serving as Warner Bros. ' flagship franchise . Many of the characters have made and continue to make cameo appearances in various other television shows , films , and advertisements . The most famous Looney Tunes character , Bugs Bunny , is regarded as a cultural icon and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Several Looney Tunes films are considered among the greatest animated cartoons of all time ( e.g . Duck Amuck , One Froggy Evening and What 's Opera , Doc ? ; All three Merrie Melodies ) , and five ( three Merrie Melodies : Tweetie Pie , Speedy Gonzales and Birds Anonymous ; and two Looney Tunes : Knighty Knight Bugs and For Scent-imental Reasons ) have won Academy Awards .

The Galápagos tortoise complex or Galápagos giant tortoise complex ( Chelonoidis nigra and related species ) are the largest living species of tortoise . Modern Galápagos tortoises can weigh up to 417 kg ( 919 lb ) . Today , giant tortoises exist on only two remote archipelagos : the Galápagos Islands 1000 km due west of mainland Ecuador ; and Aldabrachelys gigantea of Aldabra in the Indian Ocean , 700 km east of Tanzania . The Galápagos tortoises are native to seven of the Galápagos Islands , a volcanic archipelago about 1,000 km ( 620 mi ) west of the Ecuadorian mainland . With lifespans in the wild of over 100 years , it is one of the longest-lived vertebrates . A captive individual lived at least 170 years . Spanish explorers , who discovered the islands in the 16th century , named them after the Spanish galápago , meaning tortoise . Shell size and shape vary between populations . On islands with humid highlands , the tortoises are larger , with domed shells and short necks ; on islands with dry lowlands , the tortoises are smaller , with saddleback shells and long necks . Charles Darwin 's observations of these differences on the second voyage of the Beagle in 1835 , contributed to the development of his theory of evolution . Tortoise numbers declined from over 250,000 in the 16th century to a low of around 3,000 in the 1970s . This decline was caused by overexploitation of the species for meat and oil , habitat clearance for agriculture , and introduction of non-native animals to the islands , such as rats , goats , and pigs .

The film is based on a series of books by Margery Sharp , most notably The Rescuers and Miss Bianca . The Rescuers entered development in 1962 , but was shelved due to Walt Disney 's dislike of the project 's political overtones . During the 1970s , the film was revived as a project for the younger animators , but it was taken over by the senior animation staff following the release of Robin Hood ( 1973 ) . The Rescuers was released on June 22 , 1977 , to positive critical reception and became a box office success . The film was also successful throughout the world , including France and West Germany .
