Saludos Amigos Reviews
...agreeable stuff that’s heightened by the entertainment value of the aforementioned shorts...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 27, 2024
There definitely is a lot of history to be found in Saludos Amigos, but hard to say that there’s much else beyond that.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 26, 2024
While Saludos Amigos might not be the most iconic Disney feature and it is far from the best, the film still carries a unique magic and identity that makes it worthwhile to check out at least once.

Walt Disney's trip to South America for material has pro vided this ingenious piece -- more of a sketch-book than a film.

One of the more astounding sequences features a carnival song number, "Acuarele de Brasil " with Joe Carioca and Donald Duck as the leading characters.

Saludos Amigos depresses me. Self-interested, belated ingratiation embarrasses me, and Disney's famous cuteness, however richly it may mirror national infantilism, is hard on my stomach.

As a Disney fan, it is also neat to see many of the legendary animators like Lee and Mary Blair, Walt Disney, Frank Thomoas, Norman Ferguson, and more in the film.

Disney's South American tour has fun cartoons.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011
A good-neighborly, Technicolor whimsey that has made Walt Disney one of South America's favorite North Americans.

Not a well-remembered bit of Disneyana, and I am not prepared to argue against the justice of that fact.

In color, with topical music, it is a gay forty-minute potpourri.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 6, 2008
The two films are as artistically astonishing as they are culturally clueless.

Try any of the movies that have one storyline and you’ll find an entertaining and enriching experience that just isn’t here.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 29, 2003
A colorful combination of life action, animation and Latin music. A pioneering effort by Disney.
