13. Animation: The Three Caballeros (1944)

Support the show! This month we discuss animation, and what better way to kick off our theme than with Disney?  Through this live-action / animation / World War II propaganda / travelogue / musical / surrealist mish-mash, we ponder the representation of Latin Americans in movies, how tight budgets impact filmmaking, and whether sometimes a cactus is just a cactus.    Sources Ness, Mari at Tor.com: https://www.tor.com/2016/08/11/an-aggressive-escape-from-reality-the-three-caballeros/ Spiegel, Josh at Slash Film: https://www.slashfilm.com/revisiting-the-three-caballeros-one-of-the-strangest-films-classic-disney-animation-ever-produced/ Turner Classic Movies http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/93058/The-Three-Caballeros/notes.html Wikipedia
