Saludos Amigos & The Three Caballeros

Episode Summary:


As unofficial ambassador of Franklin Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor
approach to foreign policy, Walt Disney traveled to South America
on a so-called “goodwill tour,” the results of which were Saludos
Amigos (1942) and The Three Caballeros (1944). Join Erin and
Rachel for this special double episode as they unpack the
political and cultural influence of these lesser known “package”
films.
