Synopsis

The seventh animated feature film of Disney canon continues its journey through Latin America to continue exploring the culture and folklore of Latin American countries. The birthday of the Donald Duck serves so that the most beloved character of Disney knows the life of Pablo, a curious penguin that lives in the Antarctic but that is so cold, that migrates to the Galapagos Islands; he will also meet a small gaucho, who will meet a strange winged donkey. In addition to watching a documentary about exotic South American birds, Donald Duck will be reunited with his Brazilian friend Joe Carioca, who will show him the beautiful city of Baia, where he will dance to the sound of Aurora Miranda and the rhythm of the samba. The birthday party will end with a musical trip to Mexico, in which Donald and Joe will meet Panchito Pistoles, an energetic cock with which the three will become the Three Caballeros, three amigos who break barriers to show the diversity of the American continent . Nominated for two Academy Award in 1945.
