Ratings and reviews

Before you dive into this movie, you must be prepared for three things: 1: This movie is OLD. - Jose Carioca smokes cigars constantly, the portrayals of Latin Americans are very stereotyped or steeped in folksy tradition and Donald is a WOLF. My Gods does he ever chase the ladies! How Daisy has him so pinned down I will never know.... 2: This movie is surreal. - Kissing the stars? Dancing as a hummingbird? Becoming the musical line from Fantasia? It's all here.... 3: This movie does not care. At all - No coherent plot, insane characters, nonsensical set pieces and an ending that just sort of.... happens. That said, this movie is glorious. It is just a wild colourful ride, full of fun and packed with fantastic music and animation. I was raised on this movie by my Colombian mother and now my children also love this film. It is very much a classic of another time and if you can take a step back to enjoy the passion and fun that went into it, holds up as well as any modern Disney movie.

It,s so funny the characters are likeable Donalds funny Jose carioca nice and tame and panchito is hyper and fun its one of if not my favourite movie must buy this movie worth the price. ( :
