Donald Duck Celebrates Latin America

Things seem to be going well for Disney’s Three Caballeros. The Latin American themed characters had all but disappeared for years, but the past year has brought quite a resurgence for them. First the characters get added to the revised El Rio del Tiempo at Epcot’s Mexican pavilion, now their classic movie is getting re-released as part of Disney’s celebration of Latin America.

Walt Disney’s Classic Caballeros Collection hits DVD on April 29th, just in time to be part of your Cico de Mayo collection. The set includes two classic Disney movies: Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros.

The first of the two movies, Saludos Amigos follows Donald Duck, Goofy, and even Walt Disney himself as a team of Disney writers, musicians, and artists head South to explore four different Latin American locations. Then Donald teams up with pals Joe Carioca and Panchito for some animated fun as The Three Caballeros. The set also includes a rare interview with Walt Disney, a “South of the Border with Disney” featurette, and two animated Donald shorts: “Don Donald,” and “Contrary Condor.”

Take the opportunity to view these two Oscar nominated pictures when they are released in the Classic Caballeros Collection on April 29th.
