The first is a movie projector with a film about the birds of South American: Donald watches two cartoons, one tells of a penguin who longs to live on a tropical isle and the other about a gaucho boy who hunts the wild ostrich. The second gift is a pop-up book about Brazil. Inside is Zé Carioca, who takes Donald to Brazil's Bahia for a mix of animation and live action: the two cartoon birds sing and dance with natives. The third gift is a piñata, accompanied by Panchito. A ride on a magic serape takes the three amigos singing and dancing across Mexico. ¡Olé!

Critics' reviews

"It's a gay, colorful, resplendent conceit."

Variety
"No other Disney feature achieved this level of exuberant abstraction, or displayed the same sheer pleasure in the magic of the animator's art."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Reader
"Mr. Disney has got here a brilliant, fluid style for presenting musical pictures and that his enthusiasm expressed through it is great."

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
"'Caballeros' boasts a breezy, exhilarating lightness and a refreshing undercurrent of perversity"

Nathan Rabin: AV Club
"The two films ['Saludos Amigos' and 'The Three Caballeros'] are sadly no more than footnotes (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"

Eric Henderson: Slant
"This is a real treat that deserves to be better known (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Tony Sloman: Radio Times
