Movie Reviews of The Three Caballeros
Movie Review: Part travelogue; part acid trip:
Summary: 5 Stars
This Disney movie is interesting in that it is virtually plotless. It begins with a couple of cute cartoons about a penguin and then a flying donkey, but later turns into a Latin American travelogue, that evovles into a full-blast, semi-erotic, Mexican, acid trip. And the movie was made some twenty years before the psychodelic sixties! Actually, from what I understand, it was produced as part of of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Good Neighbor Policy" initiative concerning Latin America.
I think that it's all highly imaginative and my three year old loves it, as did his older siblings and his cousin when they were his age. The kids are too young to grasp the sexy images of the 1940s; and they all love the cartoons, old Latin music and Donald Duck who also happens to be the star of the movie.
Summary of The Three Caballeros
The ever-popular and excitable Donald Duck stars in one of his greatest adventures -- a dazzling blend of live action and classic Disney animation bursting with south of the border sights and sounds! When Donald receives a magical collection of gifts from his Latin American friends, they become his passport to a fantastic musical journey with Joe Carioca and Panchito, the charro rooster. With these experts to guide him, Donald hops, skips, and jumps his way through every splash of local color -- each stop full of surprises and sensational songs!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 se?orita who bustles across the screen. Although some will say otherwise, Caballeros is for die-hard Disney, Donald, or psychedelia fans only. --Keith Simanton
