Audience Reviews for The Three Caballeros

• Jul 20, 2013 I can understand why this film is so popular among Donald Duck fans. It really is him at his best, just being hilariously silly and nearly impossible to understand. The entire film is basically a Latin American fun house that never fails to grab your attention and its really good to see a film like this where no one really cares and just has fun with it. If this was released today, it would get hammered due to unreasonable accusations of stereotypes. So its good we get to see it stand the test of time for when it was made.

  13: The Three Caballeros The Three Caballeros is colorful, funny and completely random at times but that's what makes it a classic. The Three Caballeros are great together, each one contrasting the others. It's definitely the most energetic and fast paced out of all the Fantasia Era films. The Three Caballeros, in my opinion, is one of the best, if not the best, Disney Fantasia Era film.

• Nov 24, 2011 A dazzling display of early Disney animation and colour that takes Donald on one of his most grand adventures to date. The film is definitely one of Disney's most unique, daring, educational, and enjoyable films. It holds a neat collection of Spanish musical numbers and interesting portrayals of real-life people and scenery. It also adds to the experience with the usage of guns, cigars, scantly-clad women, and curse words. These aspects of the film would never be allowed in a children's cartoon in the modern day. Ultimately, the film is upbeat, funny, and quite informative in its own special way.

Number 2 From Compilation era The animation is a bit more interesting then the previous film, and it does have it's fun moments throughout. It's hard to give this era of films a long thorough review because when it comes down to it some shorts were fun and others weren't. Next up: Make Mine... hmm third word that begins with M what could it possibly be.
