This is quite a blunder in Disney's oeuvre. It is, as described above, more of a tourist promotional film and attempt to appease Latin America, with some animated birds (mainly Donald, Joe Carioca and Panchito, but occasionally some others) drawn on the screen. It starts off quite nicely with the film about Pedro the penguin, but after that it goes nowhere. There is no real story anyway; it is a series of separate films that take place in various places in Latin America, most of which only serve to let some Latinas dance and thus show a tourist picture of various places. The scenes with real actors, and there are unfortunately quite a few of them, are terrible. Quite a disappointment, Donald is one of my favorite Disney characters, but this started off mediocre and then became very bad. A star for Pedro and the birds in the Amazon, otherwise a plotless, nowhere funny disgrace.

It took me a while to start this 7th classic. Saludos Amigos did not please me at all. The fact that this is a sequel to it did not really reassure me. But to have seen all the Disney films once, it had to happen at some point.
And after seeing Three Caballeros I know exactly why. This film has a bit of the same problem as Saludos. The short stories are neither fun nor interesting. They are especially very annoying. In addition, it is yet another big advertising film for South America. That is fun for a while, but after 1 film we know that too. Now it just feels very forced. By now most people know why Disney had to make these kinds of films. They remain somewhat strange films among so many beautiful classics.
What remains are some nice animations every now and then, but the Disney artists can do better than this.

It starts off quite well with two nice short stories. I even thought the story of the penguin was quite good, but then it goes downhill, and downhill fast. And it only goes from bad to worse. Enormously unbalanced film. It's because I can still appreciate the hyperactive use of color and the abstraction at times that it's still okay, but all that dancing and fuss is not for me. Interesting to have seen once, but otherwise certainly not good.
