Local notes

A "package film" composited from four segments, each preceded with clips of the Disney Studio artists roaming Latin America and drawing cartoons of the local scenery and culture. The four segments are:
* Lake Titicaca (Donald Duck tourist short)
* Pedro (anthropomorphised airplane short)
* El Gaucho Goofy (Goofy cowboy short)
* Aquarela do Brasil (Donald Duck tourist short guided by José Carioca)

Part of the Disney Classics Complete 55 Movie box set, but on DVD, not Blu-ray like the majority of the set.

Library's rating

Library's review

The live action framing of Disney animators travelling around South America and coming up with the various cartoons shown is a cute concept, but it slows down the film a lot as it doesn't actually have any story or drive to it. The individual cartoons shown, however, are all quite decent by 1940s

gag cartoon standards.
