Review for "The Three Caballeros"
As a Disney oddity, they don't get much odder than Three Caballeros. Donald Duck receives a birthday package from South America, and the film proceeds to unravel like some peyote-induced hallucination. It starts out reminiscent of other Disney films, where shorts are cobbled together, such as "Make Mine Music" or "Fun and Fancy Free." The film has vignettes such as "The Cold-Blooded Penguin" and "The Flying Guachito." After them it careens straight into part-travelogue, part-stream-of-consciousness animation. Not helping out much are Donald's "friends," Joe Carioca (a parrot) and Panchito (a rooster). They spend most of the rest of the film watching Donald chase skirt. That's right, Donald Duck is a wolf in this movie, and he chases every live-action señorita who bustles across the screen. Although some will say otherwise, Caballeros is for die-hard Disney, Donald, or psychedelia fans only. --Keith Simanton
Review for "Saludos Amigos"
The first of two features Walt Disney made at the behest of the Office of Inter-American Affairs, Saludos Amigos consists of four cartoons linked by live-action travel footage. The very funny "Lake Titicaca" finds Donald Duck high in the Bolivian Andes, struggling with a recalcitrant llama. "Pedro," the story of a little airplane replacing his father on a mail run across the Andes, is a variation on "The Little Engine That Could." "El Gaucho Goofy" continues the popular "How To" cartoon series that juxtaposes a deadpan narration with increasing physical mayhem. Here, Goofy demonstrates Pampas-style riding and the use of the bola. The jaunty parrot Jose Carioca makes his debut in "Aquarela do Brasil." Although largely eclipsed by the wilder The Three Caballeros (1944), Saludos Amigos retains its charm. Included in the supplemental material is South of the Border with Disney, which chronicles the Good Will Tour Walt and a group of his artists made in 1941. The 16mm footage has darkened, but this featurette offers rare glimpses of some of these artists at work, including Frank Thomas, Norm Ferguson, and Mary Blair, whose stylized drawings set the look for much of Saludos Amigos and Caballeros.--Charles Solomon.

Rating: - Fascinating!
My son fell in love with Donald Duck while visiting Disney World in May.He especially liked Mexico Donald and the Three Caballeros ride.When we got back, we found these movies on Youtube (in 8-10 min. clips).I thought they were weird but he watched them so many times, we broke down and got the DVD.The scenes range from old school cartoons to trippy musical numbers - overall it's very entertaining and even educational. Makes me want to visit South America!
Rating: - For my class...
I bought this DVD because I wanted to have something to show my students about culture in other countries. I thought it was a great deal since it is two movies in one. I have enjoyed it.

This is a monument to the Disney resume as Donald Duck leads the show of South Of The Border entertainment, with gusto! Along with two powerful friends with equal gusto, this madcap adventure thru historical ventures is quite an animated masterpiece. DO NOT LOOK FOR A FAIRYTALE STORY, REPEAT, DO NOT LOOK FOR A STORY! This wild entertaining culture romp has all the elements of a jalapeno pinata gone berserk, and I for one, LOVE IT!!!! Viva Mexico, and wherever that flying sarape takes me, cause I ... Read More

- Not a review -- a question
There were stories going around a few years back that the Disney Company had digitally removed Jose Carioca's cigar from his mouth and made other cuts and alteraltions equally offensive. I think THE THREE CABALLEROS is a great classic of the genre. . . a kind of Latin American FANTASIA that takes animation to the outermost limits of possibility -- but I want the movie in its original form, not in some altered, edited, Politically Correct modern dumbed-down version. There's nothing on the box or in ... Read More
Rating: - another great job
They've done a great job of restoring picture and sound. re-awaking it spirit of the movie with out having to change the original form.
