  "description": "Jean Tourane (1919–1986) was a French filmmaker known for his footage of small animals. His birth name was Jean Briel. Among others he filmed a television series about a small duck named \"Saturnin\" during the 1960s. 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.\n\nTourane 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.\n\nHe was also for a time the mayor of the commune of Le Val-Saint-Germain in Essonne department, France.\n\nSource: Article \"Jean Tourane\" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.",
