  My husband loves the animated finale of "The Three Caballeros" so much that it says nothing else matters here, and the rates that, ahem, unique collection of Disney 5 stars. I, on the other hand, the figure 3. Certainly, the surreal stuff is creative, but the live-action material is so lame! And besides, I want a story! The 4 stars above us is compromise. (Our teenage daughter, by the way, sides more with her father.)
  So here's my review, a mixture of all of our views.
  SALUDOS AMIGOS
  "Saludos Amigos" is a 42-minute trek in South America. Produced in 1942 with limited resources in wartime, using live-action sequences that will link the four cartoons.
  The live-action segments show Walt Disney and his team of Disney artists who travel to the mainland and then collecting information and ideas cartoon sketch. Somehow composed, badly faded and politically from the date the material has the look of an old movie house, and obviously overdubbed soundtrack. My husband, however, Geezer in training is like those scenes for their historical value, being filled with propeller-driven planes, cars of 1930 and many women in long, flowing dresses.
  As for the cartoons, my whole family agrees that some of the best of Disney.
  "Lake Titicaca" stars Donald Duck as a tourist to get into trouble as he tries to sail the boat, take pictures, communicate with the locals and drive a blade into a suspension bridge.
  "Pedro" tells the story of a cute "little airplane guy" who dreams of carrying the mail between Chile and Argentina. An exciting story full of fun and drama, held up surprisingly well, and looks like it could been yesterday.
  The hilarious "El Gaucho Goofy," is along the lines of the 1950 Goofy "How-To" cartoons. As the narrator describes the blind how Goofy "deftly throws" a lasso around a horse, "quickly transforms" the saddle on a bed and "cute" Dines for grills, the dippy dog botches every step. (If you buy this DVD, watch for these transitions scene. Section lasso is literally pushed off the screen from the seat arena, which ends by rolling up like a window shade. When the barbecue section wipe at an angle, Goofy falls almost outside it!)
  Finally, like a tropical version of "Fantasia" amazing "Aquarela do Brasil" ( "Watercolor of Brazil") begins as a drawing of a vibrant rainforest comes alive with music, in this case a major form of standard samba "Tico Tico No Fubá." Soon Donald seems playboy meets Brazilian parrot Jose Carioca (a version of Brazilian popular Disney character), and the duo rocking the candy off the nightlife of Rio. Much of the dialogue is in Portuguese Jose.
  THE THREE Caballeros
  The weirdest film company Walt Disney has ever produced, the 1945 "The Three Caballeros" is a collection of animated shorts, all connected by a bare-bones plot of Donald Duck learn about Latin America. Progress usually sweet cartoons from Disney family fare in a truly psychedelic, adult-oriented swingin'-single trek that turns into Donald lascivious wolf.
  It starts as Donald Duck, sitting alone in a room, receive a large box full of birthday gifts "from friends in Latin America." First up are some sketches for some unusual animals of South America – "The cold-blooded Penguin, "A visit with More Rare Birds" (rainforest birds) and "The History of The Flying Gauchito" (a flying donkey). These three short take the first 22 minutes of the film.
  Coming out of the box are two pop-up books on Brazil and Mexico. Each of them comes to life as his own pace Peyote animated Featurette.
  First, the cigar-chomping José Carioca runs away from Brazil and the book takes Donald to 19-minute trip from the city of Baia (today El Salvador). As catchy rhythm builds, Carioca creates its own harmony with the division into four identical versions of themselves, male, female then.
  Eventually the birds meet the Cookie Lady (a live-action singer who attracts men with baked products) and soon the whole thing becomes what perhaps could be described as a samba-fueled version of the serial number cookie Marilyn Monroe, " ? Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. "
  Donald gets jealous and seeks the Cookie Lady through the village – that is, all together, which meant a live-action stage is a huge pop-up-page book. For the finale, the Cookie Lady is blue, two of the live-suitors to turn into action to combat the Gamecocks and soon everyone and everything – including buildings, the moon, the waves of the sea – the night dances.
  The book brings Mexico Panchito, six gun-shooting cowboy cock. The tosses sombreros new feathered friends, the trio proclaimed "three gay Caballeros" and takes Donald and José 30 minutes flying serape-tour of his country.
  In Acapulco Beach, Donald goes GA-ga on dozens of live-action bathing beauties ( "Come to Papa! Come here, my little enchilada!") And has lost the swimsuit. At night the duck can not stay away from clubs where dancing with more real-life Senoritas.
  Strange animation The film includes unreasonable changes color and an overdose of morphing gags. Donald he assumes more than one hundred shapes and color patterns, and when a woman. Some scenes, however, Maria is beautiful gems that Blair would later inspire the film "Cinderella" and "Alice in Wonderland», and the classic Disney attraction It's a Small World.
  Perfect sound? My husband thinks so sure if I like Mary Blair's art all the surreal mix of animation and live action with not just float my boat, and, well, I like my films with a story! Still, some people have always found "The Three Caballeros" irresistible fun, and this is definitely a must for any animation fan, as shown by the Disney animation team free for all zenith.
  The two films have been produced in good neighbor of the U.S. policy, an effort to promote pro-American sentiments (and anti-Nazi sympathies) in Latin America during the Second World War.
  BONUS FEATURES
  Additional information on the DVD includes two good cartoons of Donald Duck. In 1937 the "Don Donald" (also in chronological Donald Vol. 1), a flirt Daisy Duck (here called "Donna") gets trapped in the rumble seat of the car Donald, as it bounces through the desert of Mexico. In 1944 the "Contrary Condor" (also in chronological Donald Vol. 2), Donald finds himself hatching from an egg Condor and dealing with an overprotective mother.
  Also included is "1942 in South of the border with Disney," a 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary. Shows Disney artists, including Mary Blair, South America to get inspiration for the series of cartoons for these films. It was also the year-2000 DVD release of Saludos Amigos.
  Overall, my family agrees that there is definitely a lot of money here, but we are split on whether it will survive to repeat viewing.

  If you already have two large individual releases DVD, there is no reason to buy this new single disc edition.
  If you do not have the original individual releases may still want to give them the original theatrical trailers included where there was this new version.
  Three Caballeros (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
  Saludos Amigos (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
  And yes, so is CENSORSHIP HERE. THEY ARE ISSUED.
  A hand over hand has shown some slight improvement in picture sharpness and sound has been re-mixed audio for surround, but not complete recovery. Obviously this is a great honor, and difficult to pass if you do not have them.
  The films themselves are all just fall classic is considered as historical travel.

  Wow, wow, and triple wow. It is not often that I moved over cartoons anymore, but these 40 + years film took my breath away. This DVD set contains the "Saludos Amigos" (1943) and follow-up, "The Three Caballeros" (1945). A group of Disney animators visited Latin America and obtained the tape, photographs, drawings, paintings, souvenirs, and ideas that reflect the culture that soaked up. In "Saludos Amigos," there are plenty of 16 mm footage documenting the journey, interspersed with 4 moving parts: "Lake Titicaca" starring Donald Duck. "Pedro," an adorable baby airplane, "El Gaucho Goofy" starring Goofy (and to answer the "burning" question, there is no visible smoke here), and my favorite too, "Aquarela do Brasil "(Watercolor of Brazil). This finale could easily have been used in "Fantasia. "It is a miracle of animation, color and music. It is absolutely breathtaking. It is inspiring to see what this team was able to create together. Released two years later, "The Three Caballeros" stars Donald Duck, Jose Carioca (from Brazil), and Panchito pistoles (from Mexico). Imagine Walt Disney, Salvador Dali, and Busby Berkeley and mixed together, and this film would result. The blending of live-action and animation is pure brilliance. Section "Las Posadas" is very beautiful, and must guess the graphics owe much to Mary Blair. The color in both films are bright and lush vegetation, looking as if it were filmed yesterday. Extras include 2 shorts, Donald Duck, "Don Donald" (1937) & "Contrary Condor" (1944). "Don Donald" Donald shows the first few days, before the styling of the Disney cartoon was just a tad too slick. Both cartoons are very pleasant. Other extras include a brief Walt Disney CBC Interview with Walt when discussing the birth of Latin America 2 films presented here, and "South of the Border," which includes most of the 16 mm film shot by Team Disney while in South America. Although the quality is not as bright as that of the typical way, it is still fascinating to watch. The usual Disney sneak preview can be found on this drive and.
  Highly recommended? Beautiful animation, and a lovely top of Latin American culture of the '40s.
