Like <em>Saludos<\/em>, it&#8217;s more a series of vignettes than a cohesive narrative, and should be viewed primarily as a historical curio. With that said, some of the animation is pretty far-out (especially in the latter-half of the film), and several of the vignettes &#8212; including the first one, an amusing tale about a cold-blooded penguin who emigrates to a tropical island &#8212; make the movie worth sitting through at least once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Impressive early experimentation with simultaneous live action\/cartoon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-1024x778.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"486\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-65269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-1024x778.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-768x583.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation-356x270.png 356w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Experimentation.png 1363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Some truly psychedelic animation<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-1024x779.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"487\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-65270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-1024x779.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2-355x270.png 355w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/Three-Caballeros-Surreal2.png 1347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though most film fanatics will likely be curious to check it out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0038166\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1945\/02\/05\/archives\/the-screen-three-caballeros-a-disney-picture-with-actors-and.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdmg.com\/threecaballeros.shtml\">DVD Movie Guide Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcdb.com\/cartoon_information\/21-The_Three_Caballeros.html\">Big Cartoon Database Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviemartyr.com\/1945\/threecaballeros.htm\">MovieMartyr.com Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re three caballeros, three gay caballeros &#8212; they say we are birds of a feather.&#8221; Synopsis: Donald Duck and his two avian friends &#8212; parrot Panchito and rooster Jose Carioca &#8212; present musical information on South America and Mexico.
