Summary: "Dad. What is this stuff?"
Review: If they could get rid of all the useless "educational" stuff about South America, the 4 short cartoons would be worth having. But you will need to endure the live action snoozers which are woefully out of date. South America is depicted as paradise without mention of the struggling economies and millions of poor people who live there. My daughter (4 and a half) urged me to quickly fast forward through the boring stuff. Rent it and then decide if it's worth the price for 4 little toons.

Summary: Not as lively and exciting as The Three Cabelleros.
Review: In this film, we see Disney and his fellow animators travel to Latin America. In this however, you feel as if you are watching the Discovery channel with a little Disney thrown in. The film is whimsical when you come across a Disney cartoon, but all the inbetween bits are lackluster and boring. If maybe you traveled along with Mickey or Goofy it may have been more exciting. Sorry. Good but lacks.

Summary: Politically correct = Insanity
Review: Just to (maybe) give the last reviewers some hint about Disney's motive: I think they don't want to be sued alongside with Marlboro & al. 45 years from now when the present viewers will look for some entertainment (and some more money for their lawyers) during their old days, by making somebody else responsible for their choices. By the way, G. Orwell (1984) thought only the communists were prone to alter history so it suits what they wanted you to know/believe.

Summary: mmmm... Interesting... actually quite entertaining too.
Review: My young kids enjoy Saludos Amigos just as much as any other Disney offering. Indeed, its format of short animations loosely linked by live footing describing the Disney team's ventures in South America is well suited to them in not requireing a full hour's sustained attention.Speaking for myself, I find it extremely interesting, over and above its entertainment value. There are lots of small incidental details that illustrate the difference between life in the mid-twentieth and early twentyfirst century, one of the first being when they mentioned their three day flight from the US to Rio. Visually and aurally, given the age of the feature, the quality is excellent. The restoration team have done an outstanding job, particularly on the animated sections. José Karioka is a particularly vibrant character visually and Donald Duck sounds great. However, in this day of Dolby Surround Sound with everything, the mono soundtrack is very noticeable (but you can't change history). There are at least some extras. In this area Disney is (slowly) improving but I guess we'll have to wait for a 'Collector's Edition' before we really get the extras we want (i.e. a selection of such background material as is still available, such as discarded clips, interviews, early artwork etc.). But for a relatively minor feature such as this that could be many years away. Overall? Well it's not in the same league as contemporaries such as its predecessor Bambi but is certainly the match of anything subsequently released in the forties. The animation has more in common with Disney's shorts than his films. It's different and that alone makes it worth checking out.

Summary: A good Disney film, but not an essential one
Review: SALUDOS AMIGOS is an obscure Disney film from 1943. Even though it is offically marketed and promoted by the studio as its 6th animated feature, it has many live-action or non-animated segments. The animated "shorts" mixed into the film are entertaining, but the live-action "documentary" sequences get tiresome after a while and are very dated by today's standards. And since SALUDOS AMIGOS is only 42 minutes long, it just barely qualifies as a feature film. SALUDOS AMIGOS is a very average Disney film from the studio's golden era, and time hasn't been as kind to it as it has been to many of its other animated films.

Summary: Way too short for the price
Review: The packaging says 75 minutes, the film is 45. For such a short movie, it sure is expensive. Maybe its 75 minutes with all the previews they put before the movie even begins. This is for diehard Disney fans.

Summary: For True Disney Fans
Review: This film was made during the war and Walt didn't have the money to turn out another full length animated film. To appease his fans, he made a film which is basically a trip with him and some of his best animators "South of the Border." The animators where then inspired to make several short animated films, which are all packaged together to make this feature. The back of the box says "Total Running Time: Approc. 75 Minuites." By total running time, the mean with special features. The film is only 45 minuites, and the bonus "South of the Border With Disney" was a television show he did. If you are not a Disney fan, I don't recomend this film to you, because it is not like the other well known animated films you are used to. The picture and sound are not very good. Disney didn't feel the need to tough it up because hardley anyone knew of it's existance.

Summary: Disappointing, short, and dull...
Review: This is bottom of the barrel Disney. A 42-minute puff piece for Latin America, it contains only four animated sequences, only two of which ("Lake Titicaca" & "El Gaucho Goofy") are moderately entertaining. The rest is dreadful, live-action travelogue fodder, the kind of thing you sat through in elementary school assemblies back in the 1950s. There's another endless live-action short about Disney's crew gathering local color (which has to be added to the so called "feature" to get the 75 minute running time on the box info). Both of these films should have been added as bonuses to THE THREE CABALLEROS disc. Though the Disney completists may drool over this long-lost film finally being released, kids and most adults will find most of it painful to sit through. A snore.
