  • 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!

    The two films are as artistically astonishing as they are culturally clueless.

    By far the strangest feature-length movie in the history of the Walt Disney Company, with virtually every new minute bringing something more insanely creative than the last.

    A brilliant hodgepodge of Mr. Disney's illustrative art—a literal spinwheel of image, color and music which tumbles at you with explosive surprise.

    [After the] headlong launch into that abstract fantasia of color and sound, it's difficult to deny the sexual nature of its characters' pelvic thrusts and rampant phallic imagery. Clearly, this is Disney's horniest animated feature.

    No other Disney feature achieved this level of exuberant abstraction, or displayed the same sheer pleasure in the magic of the animator's art.

    It's a gay, colorful, resplendent conceit.

    Particularly notable is the animated train travelling through a garden of real flowers.

    A wonderful blending of live action, animation and good South American music.
