CABALLEROS
04/27/08
Take a pleasant trip in
time and around South and Central America with one of
Disney’s most popular character and learn about the
different cultures in the process. Walt Disney’s Classic
Caballeros Collection DVD Offers great entertaining, laughs,
music, and culture for the whole family. It features two
unforgettable classic movies: Saludos Amigos and The Three
Caballeros, even though this movies are almost 64 years old
and look like a documentary, they still will managed to
entertain and amused the whole audience, with colorful
graphics, great animation, and magnificent music. It is with
out a doubt a most have for Disney fans, not only for the
story and message of friendship, and unity that all Disney
movies depict, but also for the cultural and technical value
it possesses. The DVD will be available on April 29 2008.
In Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros, we will join
Walt Disney himself, a group animators, Goofy and Donald
Duck in a trip around South America most important countries
and landmarks such as Brazil, Argentina, Lake Titicaca, and
the Andes. The movies are shown in different segments
combining animation with real people, in which our main
Characters learn and explore around the different countries
while meeting new characters like Joe Carioca, Pedro the
Airplane, Panchito Pistoles, Pablo the penguin, and many
more. Each segment is dedicated to a different country and
comes with an spectacular live action musical chorography,
where Donald and one of the new characters, which depicts
the country’s people and costumes, interact with the dancers
and singers by joining the show.
The movies are incredible, we can see the visionary mind of
Disney in each one of them, not only in its entertaining and
instructional value, but also in a technical and aesthetic
sense as well. There is not news that Disney has been a
pioneer in animation, but the way he combined live action
with animated character is amazing, keep in mind that these
movies were made in the 40s. Donald and the other characters
movements are impressively coordinated with the real actors,
not only that also the settings are incredible ingeniously
depicted. When The animated character are in the real world
it seems as they really were, and when the actors are in the
cartoon world it also seems as that world existed. Visual
and audio wise is marvelous, Disney at its best, each
animated segment is full of color and splendor, this
combined with the music makes each musical number a
beautiful story to be remembered for a long time.
In conclusion the Caballeros Collection is a great addition
to any DVD collection, even if you are not a Disney fan. The
movies are way ahead of their time visually and technically
speaking. The music and the sound will bring these movies to
life. It is a wonderful experience that takes a blow to the
audiences mind leaving them asking for more. The movie is
like being on Magic Kingdom’s ride It’s A Small World but
with better visuals and songs.
