The Three Caballeros

"Within the canon of Walt Disney Animation Studios classics, 'The Three Caballeros' has several curious distinctions, among them being the first feature-length film to combine animated characters with real actors on screen (yes, even before 'Mary Poppins', although with less complexity). The movie was actually conceived as a collection of musical segments and created by the studio as propaganda, within the framework of then President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy towards Latin America. Although, as a result, it is a production with some rather outdated cultural stereotypes, it also has a lot of artistic value as one of the studio's cheerfully abstract and creative proposals at that time, even reaching a nomination for the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival (in addition to two Oscar nominations, one for its music)."
