Description:
Direct from the vault, Disney's 6th full-length animated film SALUDOS AMIGOS is available for the first time on video! Loosely translated as 'Greetings, Friends,' it features the Academy Award(R)-nominated song of the same title and showcases the brilliance of Disney's legendary animators. A whimsical blend of live action and animation, SALUDOS AMIGOS is a colorful kaleidoscope of art, adventure, and music set to a toe-tapping samba beat. Your south-of-the-border traveling companions are none other than famous funny friends Donald Duck and Goofy. They keep things lively as Donald encounters a stubborn llama and 'El Gaucho' Goofy tries out the cowboy way of life ... South American-style. From high Andes peaks to Argentina's pampas to the sights and sounds of Rio de Janeiro, SALUDOS AMIGOS is a hilarious visual feast that will entertain and delight the whole family.

Amazon.com:
The first of two features Walt Disney made at the behest of the Office of Inter-American Affairs, Saludos Amigos consists of four cartoons linked by live-action travel footage. The very funny 'Lake Titicaca' finds Donald Duck high in the Bolivian Andes, struggling with a recalcitrant llama. 'Pedro,' the story of a little airplane replacing his father on a mail run across the Andes, is a variation on 'The Little Engine That Could.' 'El Gaucho Goofy' continues the popular 'How To' cartoon series that juxtaposes a deadpan narration with increasing physical mayhem. Here, Goofy demonstrates Pampas-style riding and the use of the bola. The jaunty parrot Jose Carioca makes his debut in 'Aquarela do Brasil.' Although largely eclipsed by the wilder The Three Caballeros (1944), Saludos Amigos retains its charm. Included in the supplemental material is South of the Border with Disney, which chronicles the Good Will Tour Walt and a group of his artists made in 1941. The 16mm footage has darkened, but this featurette offers rare glimpses of some of these artists at work, including Frank Thomas, Norm Ferguson, and Mary Blair, whose stylized drawings set the look for much of Saludos Amigos and Caballeros. --Charles Solomon
