Warner Bros, Entertainment, Inc. is one of the world's largest producers of film and television entertainment. Founded in 1918 by Jewish immigrants from Poland, Warner Bros. is the third-oldest American movie studio, behind Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios.
Through 1925 and 1935 Warner Bros. pioneered films whic included synchronized sound (then known as "talking pictures" or "talkies").
In 1936, the company made a string of cartoons, starring Porky Pig, which established the character as the studio's first major star. In addition to Porky Pig, Warner Bros. cartoon characters Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny also achieved star power and became one of the main figure heads for the company. By 1942, the studio had surpassed Walt Disney Studios as the most successful producer of cartoons in the United States.
