Saludos Amigos

Brasil jalalalalalalalaaaaaa Very fun to see such an old Disney movie that's both a documentary, cartoon and making of in one.

Better than I expected for what it's worth. Getting this out of the way- this is less a movie with a storyline and structure, and more a documentary. And unfortunately...It's not a very good one. This is a short movie and as a result, they spend barely any time with anything they talk about and don't actually get into it much beyond surface level estimations and ideas. And everyone call tell you why; this is literally about white American businessmen using and vastly simplifying other country's cultures to sell to white audiences for the sake of their own profit, which is pretty gross. I know that is unfortunately just part of the industry, and sadly even some movies I like fall victim to these kinds of business practices, but this is the only film from Disney's history that is so blatantly open about it. The 40s was a rough decade for Disney due to repeated prior box office failures, so they made a couple of these half animated, half live-action films, and this wasn't a great introduction.
