Saludos Amigos
Directed by Wilfred Jackson, Bill Roberts, Hamilton Luske
A whimsical blend of live action and animation, "Saludos Amigos" is a colorful kaleidoscope of art, adventure and music set to a toe-tapping samba beat. From high Andes peaks and Argentina's pampas to the sights and sounds of Rio de Janeiro, your international traveling companions are none other than those famous funny friends, Donald Duck and Goofy. They keep things lively as Donald encounters a stubborn llama and… From TMDB

Donald first appeared in The Wise Little Hen (1937) and Jose in Saludos Amigos (1942), but all three would appear in the aforementioned 1944 film together!

neutral · AI labelView post →Continuing my watching of all the Disney animated films in order of their release… 7th on the list - Saludos Amigos (1942) an animated film that serves as a vibrant travelogue through South America. The film’s success led to a sequel, The Three Caballeros (1944). #SaludosAmigos #Disney #DisSky

negative · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros are similar movies about exploring Latin America and both star Donald Duck and both are musicals that compliment different cultures with lovely animation. They ended up starting the Disney package film era in the 1940s during World War II. Saludos came first.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos (1942) So this one's kinda...odd. instead of being a full film, it's a 40 minute doc about South America and it's culture with some themed cartoon shorts. Not much of a film. The Donald segments were the best part, and it really should've just been about him and José throughout.

A very bad movie, if you can even call that series of misfortunes a movie, the animation felt a lot less detailed too, but Bambi followed it right up with a banger, then there was Saludos Amigos, I was smiling the whole time, I love my boy Zé Carioca 🇧🇷
positive · AI labelView post →After watching Disney's early movies I ended up researching the making of Saludos Amigos. Most sources in English explain the importance of the good neighbor policy from the US side of things and ignore why Brazil helped with the movie.

I wanted to buy it, but my mom warned me that it was only in Spanish. I know it was made for Latin countries, but was this movie produced in English? I forget. XD
neutral · AI labelView post →Zootopia is an excellent film and I worry it is losing here by folks confusing Saludos Amigos with the far superior package film The Three Caballeros.

Would also consider Hitchcock's SHADOW OF A DOUBT as noir, too. Disney's love letter to Latin America SALUDOS AMIGOS is also around town. 1/

FDR promulgated the Good Neighbor Policy to improve relationships between countries in the westerns hemisphere. One manifestation of this strategy was SALUDOS AMIGOS a 1942 film from Walt Disney Pictures.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's better to have a generic animal than miss the obvious one. Chilean comic artist Pepo got so mad at Disney in the '50s for representing Chile as a plane in the movie 'Saludos Amigos' that he made his own take of a 'representative character'. Condorito went on to become its own staple.
neutral · AI labelView post →This weekend’s Movie Night double feature is: Saludos Amigos and Porco Rosso! If I’m being honest, I haven’t seen either! Both are proving pretty equally phenomenal in their own rights. Amigos was a cute showcase brochure. Porco is exactly what I needed.
positive · AI labelView post →Indeed! I used clips from both The Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos. The students in both countries enjoyed them immensely. The excellent documentary film Walt and El Grupo goes into the background.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos isn't the Disney film is it? Bizarre to schedule it at 10PM if it is.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie #9: Saludos Amigos (1942) Pretty solid for what it is, although it's one of those multishort Disney films. My favorite short was El Gaucho Goofy and the weakest was definitely Pedro, didn't really like that one too much. The other 2 shorts were also pretty fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos and Make Mine Music. I almost own a copy of every Disney animated film up to 2002. But of course I'm missing two wartime era films. (They're not very good to begin with but whatever.)
negative · AI labelView post →Movie 7: Saludos Amigos was...a thing? It wasn't really much of anything. Next up is movie 8: war propaganda! This is exciting because it's the first one that Disney tried to bury, so I have to download it. I know absolutely nothing about this film except it's war propaganda
negative · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos (Disney+): I don't think I've ever seen any of these animated Disney anthology movies, at least not in full. I definitely hadn't seen any of this one before. It wasn't much of a movie. The last segment was the best, as I liked the way they animated the paint brushes drawing...
neutral · AI labelView post →Saludos Amigos [1942/43] I'm no authority on how well this film represents its featured countries, but I enjoyed my time! The shorts aren't some of Disney's strongest, and even if its purpose as a goodwill piece gives it a strange legacy, it's a neat little time capsule.

neutral · AI labelView post →I always thought Saludos Amigos was the first Goofy Movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the first movie that feels modern. Yes, Saludos Amigos and 101 Dalmatians were both set in “modern days” but they are movies from the 40s and 60s. The Rescuers have modern New York, with buildings, cars and Helicopters.
neutral · AI labelView post →The first third is odd. It's just Donald watching movies. They are nice shorts but unlike Saludos Amigos that is made of shorts this only happens at the start. The rest of the movie is Donald traveling during his birthday with Joe and later meeting Panchito.
neutral · AI labelView post →#6 - Saludos Amigos Why is Joe holding maracas in the modern box art? It isn't a Brazilian thing and it isn't a thing in the movie either. Why can't Disney make anything good related to him anymore? Anyway, about the movie: It's great and barely feature length, it's 41 min long
positive · AI labelView post →Next up Saludos Amigos. And damn. Wasn't expecting there to be a Disney film in the canon where you see both Goofy and Walt himself smoking.
