Sunset is the beating heart of Los Angeles, the street that is photographed by tourists and desired by businesses. It extends along 23.6 miles (38 kilometers) and has 17,383 door numbers. There are palm trees everywhere, grandiose mansions and decadent apartments, pricey restaurants and simple hamburger joints, luxury stores and street markets; also to be found there is part of Beverly Hills and the University of California.

90 years of Donald Duck: Why Disney’s grumpiest character has been such a succes


EL PAÍS enters Walt Disney Studios to dive into the archives where millions of scripts, posters and objects from its films and characters are kept, looking specifically for the famous cartoon figure, which made its first appearance nine decades ago

When Walt Disney first thought of Donald Duck, the world’s most famous animation studio was just a small workshop for creating drawings. It was 1931 and Donald’s name was mentioned in an illustrated book called The Adventures of Mickey Mouse; there was also a duck on the back cover. It was three years before Donald, having become a character, appeared in a short film called The Wise Little Hen. He was going to be a secondary character, but it soon became clear that his comic vision made him the star. From then on, he appeared in more shorts, books, cartoons... and the rest is history.
