The Three Caballeros

In 1944 Norman Ferguson and Clyde Geronimi directed this Disney movie in which Donald Duck gets a series of birthday gifts that include traditional gifts and information about Brazil and México. 

The main voices star Clarence Nash  as Donald Duck, Joaquin Garay as Panchito, a mexican rooster; and José Oliveira as José 'Zé' Carioca, a  brazilian parrot. 

The movie is divided in foru parts: the two firts tell short traditional stories - the first one about a penguin that wants to live in a warmer place and the second about a winged donkey. The third part is where Donald Duck and 'Zé' Carioca discover Brazil, while the forth centers around Mexico, hosted by Panchito. 

It's a visually very tireing movie, with a load of visual 'imputs'. The scenes are very quick and brightly colored acompanied with very quick music. It's full of explosions, bright reds and greens - specially when Panchito first appears.

There's no doubt that the animation in The Three Caballeros is spectacular and very recomendable. It's very interesting how they mix and combine 'real humans' with the animation. 

The worst thing is the story - or lack of it. The first half is - as I've already said - pretty interesting with the traditional short stories. The second half is - regretfully and as Nostalgia Critic eloquently says - 'Donald Duck trying to get laid'. 

The music is traditional Brasilian and Mexican musica and, if you like that style, it's pretty good.

This can be interesting to get to know certain aspects of the Brazilian and Mexican culture, the animation is really good and the music's not all that bad. But in my opinion it's one of Disney's worst.
