It's hilarious how much time the movie spends on Donald Duck's attempts to get laid.

The Three Caballeros is just crazy, bouncy, musical, psychedelic fun. You can tell the animators had fun too.

Enjoyable in bits and pieces though the lack of cohesion does hold it back.

A virtually plotless musical adventure with a Latin American theme, this film is basically a string of loosely connected sequences giving the animators free reign to experiment and show off. It is this very aspect of the film that gives it its charm; these sequences vary from charmingly simple (the tale of a penguin who decides to move to Galapagos) to the downright hallucinogenic (a lot of these sequences are like Busby Berkeley on speed). A really fun diversion, cohesion be damned.

When Donald's friends from South America send him a gift containing a projector reel and film about a penguin, a sorcerer who happens to be a parrot, and a Mexican roadrunner genie, all manners of insanity ensue.

Some of the world's most talented animators decide to screw around for a bit. It's impressive from a technical standpoint, and there are some quality gags, but there are misses and it doesn't really hang together.

Donald Duck is pretty much the best.

The beginning shorts are easily the best, but the animation is a treat. My eyes loved the last 10 minutes, which does the "This is when the animators did LSD" classic trope so well. Donald Duck is a good boy and deserves to fuck

This Disney journey down the continent drowns in South American music. A lot of the short stories have a lot of charm, but the entire scenario gets a little tiring after a while. Fun that they try to combine live-action with their animation style. Not sure they picked the right situations to make it interesting, but at least it was a way to make this a little bit different than what they've been doing. Regardless, this feels more like a experiment than what's made Disney movies special.

Kind of dull until the Aracuan Bird hijacks the movie and turns it into a complete acid trip for the last third or so. And I do enjoy Donald Duck, even if the motivation for using him as a connecting device through the movie is paper thin.
