The Three Caballeros (1944)

God only knows whether I have seen this one before, and when; parts of it seemed familiar. In any case, I am sure I did not see it after 1986.

Some segments are purely animated while others mix live-action and animation.

Several episodes set in various places in Latin America. Donald the duck, plus a parrot from Brazil and a rooster from Mexico, are the tourists.

The first half of this wartime diplomatic effort is unquestionably good, especially the opening story with the penguin that leaves Antarctica. The second half is uneven, with sparks of creativity interspersed with somewhat boring bits.
