Saludos Amigos

AnimationAdventureMusic

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

    Saludos Amigos is not a great movie. But if we needed to get it to get this boy, then it's worth <3

    This week on #Disney100 Saturdays, I draw the Three Caballeros themselves, Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito Gonzales! 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!

    They did this form of animating before and after Walt's death, in fact the first animated film to do this was Saludos Amigos in where they recycled animation from the Goofy cartoon How to Ride a Horse

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Saludos Amigos. I remember when I was a little kid having a Disney VHS obsession and I saw that cassette at the Walmart I went to. 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

    Vargas spoke admiringly of Hitler and Mussolini, alarming president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
