Stop taking things so seriously

I loved this film and rented it many many times as a child. Nothing about this film offended my parents and especially didn't offend me. Donald Duck's supposed sexual romps involve nothing more than chasing women around on the beach which lead into many sight gags as the girls throw him up into the air etc. etc. I do not see a problem with this kind of light humor, it is already being seen by your children on their local cartoon networks and nickelodeons. (Not to mention that your children won't give it a second thought) I also do not understand why this film "isn't for children". It is almost euphorically happy and fast paced with many gags that both children and their parents can laugh at.(not to mention incredibly colorful and eye catching)I do not understand also the idea of "drugs" being an influence on this kind of thing. Research shows that creativity is heightened more when you are sober...I have a feeling that the "trippy" animation done in this film was an outlet of creativity for the animators and trying to test their boundaries to see what they could get away with...and also to provide something unexpted for the audience. All in all this is incredibly entertaining (with wonderful music), mostly tasteful and very appropriate for anyone of any age...and shouldn't offend you anymore (or in fact less) than your child's current favorite program/film.P.S. I showed this to my younger brother (who is about 14 years younger than me and is in elementary school) and he absolutely loved it and begged me to buy him a copy. Take it from me and get a copy for your kids.

Love the movie, hate the censorship

I am a HUGE fan of this movie, but this DVD (as well as the Saludos Amigos, Melody Time, and Make Mine Music DVDs) seriously panders to the soccer-mom crowd. Smoking (from Goofy in Saludos, and an innocent bystander in Caballeros) is "digitally altered" (i.e. censored), while Jose Carioca (who is in both movies) still HAS his cigar!

If Disney had wanted to censor smoking, they should have "digitally altered" Jose Carioca's cigar! I wouldn't be complaining about it if they'd been equal-opportunity butchers (and even then I'd be complaining).

Please Disney, since you're putting the Three Caballeros into the place once occupied by El Rio Del Tiempo, PLEASE re-release this on DVD and PLEASE kill the butchering!!

Classic donald at his best

This Disney movie was the 9th animated feature to be released by since Snow White. This ancient movie was first released way back in 1944. This year marks the 63 anniversary of this movie was first released in reel format and was later in the late 1990s or early 2000s was reformatted into VHS format. A word of warning even though this movie got a G rating I do not recommend it to any one under the age of 7. If you are 7 to ten years of age this movie should be fine for you. The reasons why I don't recommend this too any under seven is cause it has some parts with mild cartoon violence and there are also are several parts when character of Josa is seen using a cigar and is holding in his hand or mouth and occasional seen puffing on . In addition there is also a part mid way through the movie with a short brief use of Voodoo magic when Donald and Hosa have to say and incantation then put one of there fingers in there mouth blow to make themselves grow bigger so they can get access to the rest of Donald's other birthday presents. For those of you that like Disney movies but think this movie is to light and not intense and dark enough and want more adventure and action and your 11 years old or older I recommend Sleeping Beauty, Sword and the Stone and The Black Cauldron. For kids thirteen and older I recommend Pirates of The Caribbean Curse of the black Pearl and Dead Mans Chest.
