The Three Caballeros was Disney's first feature film to combine live action and animation, but they couldn't have picked a stupider way to show off this technique. This movie is just a loose collection of stand-alone cartoons and song vignettes without any plot to carry us along. Donald Duck is funny, of course, but his two companions are pretty boring. The live action sequences involve famous Latin lady entertainers singing and dancing with Donald, which leads to the most drug-induced Disney sequence I've seen (it makes Fantasia look like everyday life). The DVD includes a couple of other cute cartoon shorts - I love Donald and Disney, of course, but this movie itself is just a thrown together mess.
