Editorial Review:
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 señorita who bustles across the screen. Although some will say otherwise, Caballeros is for die-hard Disney, Donald, or psychedelia fans only. --Keith Simanton
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!

Rating:  - Part travelogue; part acid trip:
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.

Rating:  - Just very average
disney movie shows a lot of imagination but seems to lack a theme to tie ideas together. It ended so abruptly I thought there should be something more.
Rating: - Stop taking things so seriously
I loved this film and rented it many many times as a child. Nothing about this film offended my parents and especially didn't offend me.
Donald Duck's supposed sexual romps involve nothing more than chasing women around on the beach which lead into many sight gags as the girls throw him up into the air etc. etc.
I do not see a problem with this kind of light humor, it is already being seen by your children on their local cartoon networks and nickelodeons. (Not to mention that your children won't ... Read More
Rating: - Love the movie, hate the censorship
I am a HUGE fan of this movie, but this DVD (as well as the Saludos Amigos, Melody Time, and Make Mine Music DVDs) seriously panders to the soccer-mom crowd. Smoking (from Goofy in Saludos, and an innocent bystander in Caballeros) is "digitally altered" (i.e. censored), while Jose Carioca (who is in both movies) still HAS his cigar!
If Disney had wanted to censor smoking, they should have "digitally altered" Jose Carioca's cigar! I wouldn't be complaining about it if they'd been equal ... Read More
Rating: - Classic donald at his best
This Disney movie was the 9th animated feature to be released by since Snow White. This ancient movie was first released way back in 1944. This year marks the 63 anniversary of this movie was first released in reel format and was later in the late 1990s or early 2000s was reformatted into VHS format. A word of warning even though this movie got a G rating I do not recommend it to any one under the age of 7. If you are 7 to ten years of age this movie should be fine for you. The reasons why I don't recommend ... Read More
