:: Saludos AmigosMade in 1943 Saludos Amigos was the first of the so-called “anthology films”. This is a mixture of musical, comical animation and a cultural documentary of South America. It begins with live-action footage of the Disney team of artists going to South America, looking for inspiration. The sequences cover dances, geography, and wildlife, and are inter-mingled with animation. Donald Duck’s ‘Lake Titicaca’ is the best of the stories. The actual running time of the film is 45 mins and the remainder of the DVD comprises a 33-minute travel featurette that provides more thorough documentation as seen by the Disney animators in their South American journey.
