The Three Caballeros (1944) Opens in US Theaters
- The Three Caballeros premiered in Mexico City on 21 December 1944 and reached the United States on 3 February 1945.[2][3][4]
- The film celebrates the tenth anniversary of Donald Duck and follows his journey through Latin America, combining live-action with traditional animation. It is the second of the six package films released by Walt Disney Productions during the 1940s, following Saludos Amigos (1942), and is one of the earliest feature films to blend live-action and animation.[2]
- The Three Caballeros was directed by supervising director Norman Ferguson, with music by Edward H. Plumb, Paul J. Smith and Charles Wolcott; it features Clarence Nash, José Oliveira, Joaquin Garay and Aurora Miranda, and runs 72 minutes. Wikipedia's infobox lists a gross of US$3.355 million (worldwide rentals).[2]
- The Good Neighbor policy was a campaign by the United States to improve its relations with Latin America. A special concern in the late 1930s was the mounting program of Nazi propaganda designed to increase Nazism in the Americas, which would weaken US control and divide the Americas.[2]
- The film's original score was composed by Edward H. Plumb, Paul J. Smith, and Charles Wolcott. The title song, "The Three Caballeros", based its melody on "Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!", a Mexican song composed by Manuel Esperón with lyrics by Ernesto Cortázar.[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
