Quote:
Saludos Amigos (Spanish for "Greetings, Friends") is a 1942 American live-action animated package featurette produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is the sixth Disney animated feature film and the first of the six package films produced by Walt Disney Productions in the 1940s. Set in Latin America, it is made up of four different segments; Donald Duck stars in two of them and Goofy stars in one. It also features the first appearance of José Carioca, the Brazilian cigar-smoking parrot.[3] Saludos Amigos premiered in Rio de Janeiro on August 24, 1942. It was released in the United States on February 6, 1943. Saludos Amigos was popular enough that Walt Disney decided to make another film about Latin America, The Three Caballeros, to be produced two years later. At 42 minutes, it is Disney's shortest animated feature to date.

Boring and a little bit racist by today's standards. Though I do recognize that, in the 40s, even acknowledging that other cultures existed was probably seen as very progressive. So I'll give Disney points for that. If only it wasn't so boring...

At least this one is only 42 minutes. The Three Caballeros is equally boring but over 70 minutes

Agreed 100%.This was a rough era, Fun and Fancy Free was the only one I liked. But in their defense most of the company got drafted into WW2.

Next up for me is Ichabob and Mr. Toad. Will continue on to the 50s after. I’m sure I saw them as a kid but I don’t remember anything about them.
