Made to bolster wartime relations between the U.S. and South America, "Saludos Amigos" is an unusual mix of travelogue and cartoons that follows Walt Disney and his staff on a south-of-the-border tour. Animated sequences that complement their stops feature Goofy as an Argentinean gaucho, Donald Duck fishing at Bolivia's Lake Titicaca and meeting Brazilian parrot Joe Carioca, and a brave little mail plane named Pedro crossing the Andes. And, in "The Three Caballeros," Donald Duck joins Brazilian buddy Jose Carioca and Mexican pal Panchito, in a classic mixture of live-action and animation. Highlight is the pinata sequence, in which Donald takes a magic serape ride through Mexico. 113 min. total.
