      • Goofs
        When visiting Chile, the map shows several misspellings: Valparaiso is "Valpraiso" and the Juan Fernandez Islands are "Juan Ferndez Islands". On the postcard it says Vina del Mar instead of "Viña del Mar"

        Donald Duck: [referring to a pinata] What's this?

        Panchito: What's this?

        [laughs]

        Panchito: This is your gift from Mexico, Donald: a pinata!

        Donald Duck: Oh, boy, oh, boy, a pinata!... What's a pinata?

        Panchito: A pinata is full of surprises. Presents. It's the very spirit of Christmas.

        Donald Duck: Christmas!

        [singing]

        Donald Duck: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...

        Panchito: [laughing] Oh, no, no, Donald! For goodness sake, not "Jingle Bells". In Mexico, they sing "Las Posadas".

      • Crazy credits

      • Alternate versions
        There was an airing of this film for American television in the early 1980s which was extended to help it fit into a two-hour time slot. This was done by editing in selected shorts on similar themes. Among them were Pluto and the Armadillo (1943), Clown of the Jungle (1947), and Morris the Midget Moose (1950).

      Disney goes surrealist
      The Three Caballeros is a lot of fun, using a mix of live action and animation to bring Brazil and Mexico alive to birthday boy Donald Duck. As he's joined by Panchito and José he realises what he has been missing all these years, falls in love with Aurora Miranda (sister of Carmen), learns to dance, and much more.

      With eye-poppingly beautiful animation and lovely colours, it is no surprise that that was the one cartoon Disney veteran Ward Kimball claimed he was truly proud of. The idea of the three birds as international musketeers living the good life is inspired and the running time is just about right.
