Definitely support a reaction to the original movie. It's been even longer for me since seeing it.

2024-09-25 16:36:55 +0000 UTC"You've taken over 100 pictures today! Why don't any of them show anybody's feet?!" "Because that would be weird?" Between that and the dropping Dewey as an egg joke... I love it when shows like this can get away with inappropriate humor. I'm up for a Three Caballeros reaction. I've never seen it, but I agree, Patreon exclusive. A lot of art back then contained what we've now grown to acknowledge as harmful stereotypes. Dunno how well known Central American stereotypes are over in Europe, so you might miss something.

2024-09-25 09:59:03 +0000 UTCI can't believe you didn't think to watch an 80 year old cartoon to prepare for your weekly dose of Ducktales. At this rate, you're not even gonna see it coming when Man from Bambi is the big bad of the season.

2024-09-25 03:20:20 +0000 UTCThere was also a show in 2018 called "Legend of the three caballeros"

2024-09-25 02:35:11 +0000 UTCDefinitely a fun episode. A real nostalgia trip. Next episode is not one of my favorites personally. I won't say why, but I might skip it just out of personal prefference. I do hope you like it though. :-) The one after that, S2 E6, is a really nice holiday episode ideal for the winter season if you can't get to it before the end of October. And after that... well there's an episode I KNOW you'll really enjoy. And that's all I'll say. But you might want to skip reading the episode title for a real surprise. ;-)

2024-09-24 21:51:48 +0000 UTCI loved that movie when I was a kid but it's true that some things didn't age particularly well, I haven't watched it recently (or in English) but I'm sure it had quite a few stereotypes, but if you are interested in reacting to something of The Three Caballeros, in 2018 was released a miniseries about them, it is not a masterpiece but it is entertaining, it was canceled after one season for not having enough audience.

2024-09-24 20:04:50 +0000 UTCDefinitely an episode for the nostalgic hard core Disney fans. Like Mosco said, I remember watching The Three Caballeros once or twice as a child. So yeah, loved it, plus loved David Tennant’s “pretend old” voice. 😊🎉

2024-09-24 19:44:31 +0000 UTCHaving not seen The Three Caballeros since childhood, I don't have any clue whether it'd make a good reaction, but I'm game!

2024-09-24 19:21:27 +0000 UTCyou have too much to try and do with all the other series just dropping

2024-09-24 19:11:31 +0000 UTCyeah, i haven't watched it in ages, but I don't think it's aged particularly poorly, i feel like the short about the donkey might have some stereotypes, but it's nothing to egregious...hopefully. Beyond that, as you said, there is some smoking, some uh...horniness etc. nothing that'd get mosco in trouble with youtube...that I remember at least. i should probably rewatch it to be sure.

2024-09-24 18:37:33 +0000 UTCthat explains a lot actually. I knew it was part of the wartime collections of shorts/music they'd done, but had been curious why it had a cultural focus, rather than a musical theme like the others (fun and fancy free, melody time etc.) Which I had assumed were produced that way simply because it was cheaper than a full length film and resources were scarce during the war. Makes a lot of sense

2024-09-24 18:30:13 +0000 UTCI watched it a few years ago and...woof. It's pretty bad. Not like, using slurs bad, nothing so overt, but everything about the tone, the morals being presented, the acting direction etc is appalling...disney buried song of the south for a reason. It's easy enough to find online if you haven't seen it, definitely an interesting, if shameful, window into the past.

2024-09-24 18:29:08 +0000 UTCgood ol' three caballeros, loved it as a kid, not sure how well it's aged, but definitely my favorite of the misc compilations of music and shorts disney did instead of full length animated films during ww2 (saludos amigos, fun and fancy free, three caballeros, melody time, make mine music etc) I used to rent the vhs of it all the time.

2024-09-24 18:25:53 +0000 UTCpretty sure the radio added a flute coincidentally the same time Panchito started pantomiming a flute.

2024-09-24 18:09:46 +0000 UTCDid you collection include Song of the South?. Disney mostly pulled that one due to the inherent racism of the material. It's where the the song Zip a dee do dah comes from.

2024-09-24 17:55:41 +0000 UTCI remember some of the songs from the movie when i was a kid and remember Jose (the green parrot) did a special dance to make himself big and Donald messed up the dance and parts of his body was getting inflated like a balloon that was my favorite part and in 2018 they made a tv series of The Three Caballeros
John Bossert
2024-09-24 17:54:41 +0000 UTCI forget what it was called, but at one point there used to be this Disney weekly tv show with lots of old clips and movies and such, and I think that's when I first saw Three Caballeros as a kid. (As old as I am, it came out easily 30 years before I was born, so.. not THAT old!!)

2024-09-24 17:50:43 +0000 UTCUmbra flute, perfectly logical application of cartoon physics. If you can imagine one object with the associated properties of a second object then it can become that object... as lon as it's funny.

2024-09-24 17:35:53 +0000 UTCI have a vague memory of some teacher putting on the original Three Caballeros movie when I was really little. I think I remember liking the songs, but that was about it haha.

2024-09-24 17:31:36 +0000 UTCAhh sorry, this came out wordier than I expected since the three caballero's stuff requires context. 1. Glomgold is still just South African, not Australian; us Aussies don't claim him and don't want him. 2. I believe part of what makes the opening so good is that the singer's vocal direction was "Sing like you can't believe you're getting to sing the Ducktales theme", which really comes through 3. To answer why Panchito (the rooster) and Jose (the parrot) were so mean to Donald, I'm pretty sure it's a leftover from their Caballero dynamic. Donald was the punchline usually; the clown to get pied, the one to fall down the stairs, that sort of thing. So that, plus the fact that the quite violent slapstick from their time doesn't quite fit the tone of the reboot, is why what was supposed to be 'playful banter' came off as a bit, well, off. 4. On the appropriateness of The Three Caballeros, my research is saying that it's *probably* fine and that it's mostly stereotype that could be a problem (but seems to be received well by the stereotyped groups and was supposedly made in good faith during ww2) (while double-checking this I remembered that Panchito was known for having two pistols he would shoot a lot, Jose was *heavy* on smoking cigars and offering them to others, and Donald got pretty lustful over some live-action women; none of which are great, but their portrayal as people seems decent if that's the concern). I would not be opposed to a three caballero's reaction, although the part of me that knows what's coming up in episodes would rather a couple more of those. Even delaying and watching it later might have value, as (I'm really hesitant to spoil non-plot this so I'm going to push it a line down since patreon doesn't have spoiler bars like discord so this is the best opt-in I can do) this is not the last you'll see of the caballeros.

2024-09-24 17:24:12 +0000 UTCThe Three Caballeros was actually a World War 2 propaganda piece. It, along with Saludos Amigos (1942), which introduced one of the Caballeros, José, was part of the Good Neighbor Policy, a program to improve relations between the US and Latin America to discourage Latin American countries from joining the Axis. It included cultural outreach programs in addition to more direct diplomatic and economic policy. The government directly commissioned or strongly encouraged the production of media positively portraying Latin Americans to counter negative stereotypes and encourage pan-American cooperation, and as a result The Three Caballeros has actually aged much better than a lot of contemporary movies. It did get some criticism even at the time and stronger now about the movie's running gag of Donald Duck lusting after human women, especially since most of those human women were live-action, but that's pretty tame as 1940s cartoons go. The conflicting release dates are because it premiered in Mexico City in December 1944, but didn't have its general release in the US until February 1945.

2024-09-24 17:15:21 +0000 UTC0:48 Quick correction: Glomgold's real accent is South African, NOT Australian. The two just sound very similar. If Duke was so poor that he had to shine shoes to get by, there's no way he could've traveled all the way from Australia to South Africa to do that. Even Glomgold isn't that ridiculous.

2024-09-24 16:57:51 +0000 UTCThe movie with the Three Caballeros came out in 1944, so yeah, you were too young to see it. Waaay too young, as in "parents not even born yet" young. In that version, Panchito's holsters were for pistols (thus his full name, Panchito Pistoles), not his phones.
