Drei Caballeros im Sambafieber (Short 1942)
5KDrei Caballeros im Sambafieber: Directed by Wilfred Jackson, Jack Kinney, Hamilton Luske, Bill Roberts, Norman Ferguson. With Fred Shields, José Oliveira, Lee Blair, Mary Blair. Disney animators tour South America and present four animated shorts inspired by their trip.
“Animators on assignment from Walt Disney tour South America (along with Donald Duck!) to soak up new cartoon ideas. This long-unseen Disney item is full of color and music, but is obviously a holding-pattern release for the company. I watched the film on video, coupled with the quite-entertaining additional 20-minute documentary which regales even more of the non-animated adventures. Never too popular with the kids, probably because a major cartoon segment involving Pedro the Airplane isnu0026#39;t very funny and lacks the local flavor. Otherwise, some visually dazzling bits but not as good as the similar u0026quot;The Three Caballerosu0026quot;, released in the US in 1945. **1/2 from ****”
