Disney - The Three Caballeros
first screening in Mexico in 1944

Aurora Miranda was the sister of Carmen Miranda of pineapple, pear, banana, grape basket on head fame. Here she is doing a number for Disney's classic movie The Three Caballeros or Los Tres Caballeros which Disney released in Latin America for propaganda purposes. The US hired Disney to make this film because America wanted to persuade/dissuade those Axis sympathizers in countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Sub-textually, of course.

They did a phenomenal job, though. This is a gorgeous film. This movie has no real plot: only frames within which various species of birds run amok. This is drift, Disney style. Everything moves and undulates: the music, the actors, the cartoons, even the city becomes!
