Critic Reviews

Bosley Crowther

As always in Mr. Disney's pictures, the quality of the humor is bright and sly, with touches of gentle satire laced in with jovial fun. Read full review

A good-neighborly, Technicolor whimsey that has made Walt Disney one of South America's favorite North Americans. Read full review

Eric Henderson

Saludos Amigos and its sequel (or, more accurately, expansion), The Three Caballeros, had a shelf life significantly shorter than that of your standard MRE. Together, they kicked off nearly a decade’s worth of anthology-based wastes of time and resources that all but derailed Disney’s manifest destiny to rewrite children’s dreams in the corporation’s own latently art deco, actively anti-twat image until Cinderella put the needle back on the record.

Nathan Rabin

Amigos sandwiches four pedestrian animated shorts—two featuring Donald Duck, one featuring a Gaucho Goofy, and the fourth starring a family of anthropomorphic planes—inside agonizingly dull travelogue footage of Disney writers, artists, and musicians on a research trip, exploring all that Latin and South America have to offer. The stale, joy-killing odor of the classroom hangs heavy over Saludos Amigos: it aspires to educate and entertain, but fails on both counts. Read full review

i know this was made so mexico and the rest Latina america go Nazi gaga but still goofy as a vaquero is pretty good and Donald and Jose have good chemistry the only bad thing just that if you look at it for to long it starts to become propaganda but still pretty good

Es la película más corta que haya visto; consiste en un conjuto de cortos animados que narran historias centradas en la cultura de varios países, la recomiendo si eres un fan de Disney.
