I had the recent opportunity to see the Walt Disney film of “The Caballeros Collection”, which includes Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros.  This has a release date of April 29, 2008 so you’ll have wait until then to get one.  It’s not only fun to watch, it’s also a cool learning experience so I recommend it.  Coming from a Spanish background, I enjoy it that much more.

I waited for my 2 youngest to be around before I watched it so I could see their reaction.  We watched The Three Caballeros first.  I wasn’t surprised at all that my 18mth old was intrigued because there was quite a bit of music and singing happening.  The first thing I noticed was the narrator voice, whom I assume was Walt Disney himself.  It reminded me of when Jiminy Cricket would tell his stories.  The stories take place through South America and give you a real latin feel. I absolutely loved Panchito & his donkey and probably my most favorite thing about the entire collection, was the learning experience.  Even my 12 year old said they were learning about South America in Geography class so he knew exactly what they were talking about.  Heck, I even learned the capital of Peru!  Of course, I’ve know what it was but sometimes you forget so it was fun to be reminded. 

In Saludos Amigos, there are 4 adventures that take you through the Bolivian Andes to the Argentine pampas.  We loved them both!  Some bonus features include:

• “South of the Border with Disney” Featurette – Take a tour with the Walt & friends through Latin America.
• Walt Disney Interview
• “Don Donald” – Donald Duck short cartoon
• “Contrary Condor” – Donald Duck short cartoon

What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with this Caballeros Collection.  Not only will you and the family enjoy a classic, I guarantee that you all will learn at least one thing that you didnt’ know before.
