Summary: A Childhood favorite
Review: I remember I used to rent this every time I went to the video rental store when I was a child because I loved it! I found every moment of it to be hilarious, laugh-your-head-off funny, although I don't know why. This is a good movie for your kids, because it is hard to understand as a kid, yet very funny! I recently rented it, and I enjoyed it. I like the music and the bright colors. It is funny because the characters are in love with the Spanish women. It takes you to Brasil because it is Donald Duck's birthday.

Summary: One of the BEST Disney movies that I grew up with!
Review: I remember when I was about 5 years old when I first saw this. "The Three Caballeros" is a pure classic and the songs/characters are very memorable. I used to watch it over and over and never EVER seemed to get tired of it! Today, I still enjoy it's quality and Donald Duck is hella funny!! The ending gets kind of weird though when Donald gets sucked into some kind of weird parallel dimension. It almost seems as if the artists might have gotten drunk here when the film was nearly finished. Still, the other surprises that are in this film make up for that including: a magical trip into a life-like pop-up book, a giant pinata with many gifts and treats inside, and an adventure on a magic carpet into the culture of Mexico. I highly reccomend this ...! Both are some of Disney's best ever!!!

Summary: Not Disney's best, but one of my fav's.....
Review: Intro: Okay so I've loved this movie since I was about 6yrs, and when I was 6yrs I didn't know anything about drugs or what-not. Or think much of how much Donald chases girls, not even when I watched it again at 8yrs and then 11yrs. But now that I'm 17yrs I still love this movie I watched it 3x's in two days. Due in part to my nephew who now loves the movie. Anyways it may not be Disney's best, but I think its worth a watch what with its great song and dance scenes or just songs... Its certainly an interesting trip. Part travelogue, part acid trip,and mostly all fun. Kids will love it, I still love it and I'm 17yrs. Certainly not for everyone, but all fun none-the-less. One of my favorite Disney films still of course nothing can beat Cinderella...ahahaha Anyways *enjoy*!!!

Summary: Colorful musical extravaganza!
Review: This film is a series of loosely strung together musical animated sequences (some combining with live action) set in South America and featuring Donald Duck. The images are lively, often beautiful and sometimes downright psychedelic. There is music virtually throughout and the segments move briskly one into the next, so you never get bored. There is another film released around the same time and exploring the same basic theme ("Saludos Amigos") but while that is a rather dry travelogue interspersed with rather dry cartoon segments, "Three Amigos" is like a mambo coctail party that never lets up...the two films are light years apart. See "Three Caballeros" and pass on "Saludos Amigos"...

Summary: Not to everyone's taste, here's why I liked it
Review: Three Caballeros was made in 1945, and it is very much a product of its time. For one thing, at this time Disney was packaging collections of shorts as movies (i.e., Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time). While this approach provided a good escape for moviegoers and was inexpensive to produce (at a time when Disney's future was still shaky), modern viewers who have come to expect a coherent story are often left disappointed. For another thing, modern notions of political correctness are nowhere to be seen in "Three Caballeros". Donald Duck shamelessly chases women, Joe smokes a cigar and Panchito whoops and fires his pistols in the air like a stereotypical bandito. This was because in 1945 the Pancho Villa image was still very much in the minds of the people of the U.S. Despite all of that, I enjoyed this movie! The contained shorts are amusing and (somewhat) related to the rest of the movie. Also, although not politically correct, only the most ultra-sensitive viewer would object to how Mexico is protrayed in the movie. Despite his amusing lecherousness, Donald enthusiastically takes part in a Mexican folk dance. Although something of a stereotype, Panchito solemnly tells the story of the origins of the Mexican flag and sings a song about Mexico that is not only beautiful it is positively reverent. In general the music is very good, ranging from romantic melodies like, "You Belong to My Heart," to tributes like, "Baia" and of course, "We're Three Caballeros" a musical celebration of friendship. Overall I would say that while not one of Disney's best, "Three Caballeros" is a worthwhile view for most.

Summary: Sheer Animated Brilliance! A Fun Fantastic Treat!
Review: Definitely one of Walt Disney's underrated classics from the 40's, The Three Caballeros is a wonderful film that has lots of surprises. Although the film has no strong storyline like Dumbo or Cinderella, the film makes up for this weakness by its' overwhelming entertainment value. The film POPS with over the top visuals, side splitting humor and wonderful songs.
One of my favorite Disney films of all time, Caballeros is full of wonderful cartoony Disney animation that bubbles with enthusiasm. A must have for any true Disney fan!

Summary: Wild in Latin America
Review: Bizarre and surreal, this love-it-or-hate-it wartime curio from the Disney vault was not by any means the first film to mix live-action and animation. (Disney's early _Alice_ films show that the technique was in use during the silent era.) However, _Three Caballeros_ is probably the strangest film to mix live-action with animation, and as such it has gathered something of a cult following. The obviously sexual escapades of Donald Duck make this film inappropriate for children -- not that they're likely to pay much attention anyway. Likewise, the absence of a plot (and, as some would add, of a point) turns off most adults who see it. Still, I think this film definitely has some great moments. Add two stars to my review if you plan to see this film while stoned.

Summary: "The Three Caballeros" Gold Collection DVD
Review: A lot better than Walt Disney's previous attempt, "Saludos Amigos", "The Three Caballeros" is another film that focuses on Central and Southern America. It's Donald Duck's birthday, and his friends from Mexico (Joe Carioca & Panchito) send him gifts from their country. A long the way various clips from the foreign countries are show in a documentary style & animated shorts telling stories are intertwined. The best one is "The Cold Blooded Penguin", where a small penguin wants to live life in the sun. This film also landmarked, the first time live action was mixed in with animation in the same scene. The funniest of these segments is when Donald starts chasing the girls on Acapulco beach BUT the best use of this new technology was in the "Donald Loses His Heart To The Cookie Lady" scene, where the boys dance around and with live action dancers. The film is well paced, has great segments, but the music depends on your tastes. But overall, this movie definatley surpasses "Saludos Amigos", in all ways possible. This DVD also contains two funny shorts, "Pueblo Pluto" and "Don's Fountain OF Youth". The latter is when Donald fools his nephews into thinking he turned into an egg after falling into the fountain.

Summary: A WALT DISNEY CLASSIC!
Review: In this Disney classic,Donald Duck celebrates his birthday with his friends Joe Carioca and Panchito,opening a wondrous collection of gifts that evolve into musical journeys with a Latin-American beat.A magical serape ride and the animated tales of"The Penguin","Baia",and"The Flying Gauchito"add to the celebration in this brilliantly animated film. Captivating music,great animation,and live-action makes this movie a tru Disney Masterpiece.A must see for everyone.

Summary: Disney South of the Border
Review: Disney's 7th full-length animated feature was created during World War 2. Monies (especially from Europe) were unavailable so, like Saludos Amigos, this release aims South of the Border... The film is basically a 3 section anthology. The first short follows a Pablo, a cute penguin who can't stand the cold and moves to a tropical island(narrated by Sterling "Winnie the Pooh" Holloway). Second, we meet the Flying Gauchito who discovers Burrito, a flying Donkey. Then finally, we return to Donald Duck on his journey to find out more of South America. Basically, Donald uses this time to chase after human women. This section also acts as the string holding the package together. Overall, there is no great accomplishment in THE THREE CABALLEROS. The animation and backgrounds are flat and the stories are no better than any of the 5 minute shorts that would show before a regular feature. And with little to know storyline to follow, it is certainly not for everyone, in fact, not for most. Where this film does shine is in its use of special effects. This is an important film for any "Disney-freaks", "Donald-freaks", or wartime propaganda students. The DVD picture is good but the source must have been pretty scratched up. It also includes 2 other shorts, DON'S FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH and PUEBLO PLUTO.
