Four shorts inspired by South America.
The animation is quite high quality. There are some very funny sight gags and verbal jokes. Some of the cliches about the people are positive and presented in a very appealing way, such as the passion of their culture and language. It is always sad to see racism, but I do agree with the decision to present it uncensored on Disney Plus and invite a conversation.
I think it played better in 1942 than it does today. With an abundance of handholding exposition(at one point he is directly told to shut up), at 42 minutes it's a long time to sit and just watch Donald Duck and Goofy do shtick. I'm not calling for it to have been shorter. I think this would have been better if they made it feature length and dropped the entire framing device and simply made it a 90 minute story of these characters going to, among other places, Brazil from America and having adventures there. I have yet to watch The Three Caballeros, but it seems like that might actually be what that one is. So at least they did get there.
I recommend this to any fan of the characters. 6/10.
