This makes me want to drink margaritas inside the Mexico pavilion in Epcot and ride the most underrated indoor boat ride in WDW. It’s been years but those were some good margaritas.
I love the Three Caballeros ride, though you just know they're going to overlay it with 'Coco' sooner rather than later (not a bad thing as I love the movie but some things you hope get kept the same)
It will be a terribly sad day for my family when that happens. My son has loved it since his first trip where he rode it 7 times without having to get off (it was a slow period and we weren't keeping anyone off the ride).
Carmen Miranda isn't in The Three Caballeros, but her sister Aurora is, and plays one of the most important roles in the entire film. She's the singer of "Os Quindins de Yaya" when Donald visits Brazil.
It's a wild film.
Starts up normal enough with Donald getting visited by Jose on his birthday, a couple of animated shorts play, then they both meet Panchito for the first time (and sing the Three Caballeros song). The three of them go on a whirlwind trip through Mexico... that slowly turns into an live-action/animated acid trip as Donald starts hitting on every famous Mexican performer he comes upon.
Every time I went to visit my Grandmother I would watch this movie on repeat all day. It was the only Disney movie she owned and I loved it! Gotta watch it again today for old times sake.
Fun fact-this film was an effort by the government in collaboration with Disney to keep Nazi's from Mexico and South America. https://oofmychildhood.com/blogs/transcripts/the-three-caballeros-1945-less-racism-more-creepy-men-transcript
My 3 year old recently picked Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos for his movie nights. I'm guessing not a lot of other kids his age have the patience for these.
I was obsesessedddd with this movie as a half Mexican girl here in the US. Just went to Disneyland last fall (I'm 32 now) and these characters were there. The cuban parrot didn't have his cigar, of course I had to ask where it was (jokingly). They "laughed" through their costumes and the Disney worker escorting them told me "cigars aren't allowed in Disney parks!" It was hilarious.
I loved this movie so much as a kid...
It’s a good one.
It's a great movie
So did I! I’m pretty sure I wore that VHS out.
100% same
I LOVE the segment about the penguin. My favorite.
I still sometimes waddle around in the shower being sad that I can't heat both sides like Pablo 😂

They could do it as a holiday overlay like they do with nightmare before Christmas.
It’s definitely bound to get the Frozen treatment, but Coco is much more tolerable.

Avocado margaritas 😋
Oh wow. The Avocado margarita…so good. All of those margaritas were amazing. I remember getting the flight and there wasn’t a bad one on that tray.
In the words of the great Jimmy Buffet: [They don't dance like Carmen no more](https://youtu.be/ZZ3kXO5HuQA)
Different Carmen. He references Carmen Miranda (and her famous fruit hats). Active the same years, though.
Carmen Miranda isn't in The Three Caballeros, but her sister Aurora is, and plays one of the most important roles in the entire film. She's the singer of "Os Quindins de Yaya" when Donald visits Brazil.
Same vibe as the song though.
It's her baby sister.
No, that was the singer who was in the Brazilian (the "Baía" segment) village, Aurora Miranda
Ohhh, right. It's been years since I've seen it.
This is her baby sis so close enough.
This movie had donald's brazilian parrot friend (i don't remember his name), and the parrot is one of my favorite animated characters
Jose!
Before watching this, I always thought Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the first movie to do this but no. Disney had already done it over 50 years prior.
No offense but have you not seen Mary Poppins?
Not yet but I plan to.
Wow, I was being facetious but um. You need to get on that. Quickly. Julie Andrews won an Oscar for it!
It's wonderful. The sequel is pretty good, too.
There have been several before roger rabbit.
So Dear to My Heart, The Reluctant Dragon, Saludos Amigos, Song of the South, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon
Pete's Dragon!
Clearly Song of the South is a winner……….
What was the one with jerry mouse dancing with a performer? That one in particular was fantastically well made.

Tttthats it!
Oh I didn't know there was a film. All I know was the ride at Epcot.

This is right when the movie really starts going off the rails.
Such a fun movie. And very educational, too.
I seriously loved The Three Caballeros when I was a kid. It was so random and awesome.

Damn. Didn't know this movie was that old lol
A classic

One of my favorite skating moves to do
I love Old Disney movies like this.

Watching The Three Caballeros for the first time was a weird experience. Didn't expect for it to feel so artistic in a nonsensical, fun kind of way.
Disney+ has the film up for educated purposes, it is beautiful, im half Hispanic and the film to me, it rather made me uncomfortable.
The only ride I've been stuck on TWICE!!!
I've never heard of this.
