Walt & El Grupo

In 1941, the Roosevelt administration sent Walt Disney on a goodwill tour of Latin America, hoping that the popular filmmaker and his charming characters could improve wartime relations. While abroad, Disney traveled with 16 of his artists nicknamed "El Grupo," collecting story material for a series of South American-themed films, including "Saludos Amigos" and "The Three Caballeros." This fascinating documentary chronicles the team's efforts and features rare footage of the legendary animator─during what he called the most challenging period of his life. 107 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary; theatrical trailer; bonus short "Saludos Amigos" (1942).
