3 Cabs

I thought Rio was kind of okay for the most part, I guess, but man did it make me wanna watch The Three Caballeros. On Blu-ray. On which it is not. At the moment. My review of the latter-day film for MSN Movies is here.

    Why do you think a blu-ray for CABALLEROS likely-never-to-occur? Is it just a lack-of-interest-on-the-part-of-the-general-public kind of thing? I mean, it’s not SONG OF THE SOUTH.

    Oh, yes, Three Caballeros on Blu-ray would be a beau­ti­ful thing. Years back, Disney released a spec­tac­u­lar laser­disc box set on Caballeros, which was loaded with fas­cin­at­ing extras, and is one of the main reas­ons I keep a func­tion­ing laser­disc play­er in the house. The recent doc­u­ment­ary “Walt and El Grupo” covered the back­ground on Disney’s South America pro­jects. The DVD included Saludos Amigos as an extra (not alas on BR) so I don’t think it’s out of the ques­tion that Caballeros will see a new release. Oh, and BTW, I think the lyr­ic “We’re three happy chap­pies with snappy serapes” is as good as Sondheim.

    There are plenty of extras on all Disney’s laser­disc box sets, right up to the last one (Hunchback of Notre Dame), most of which nev­er made it to DVD.

    Now I must go out an watch Three Caballeros. I am sure I must have seen it as a kid (one of my favour­ite shows grow­ing up was The Wonderful World of Disney – it must have played on there at some point in the sev­en­ties, right) but I do not recall, and the image you put up must be seen with all its friends strung together.

    Did you see “The Conspirator,” Glenn, and if so, is there a review forthcoming?

    It seems Rio’s idea was bor­rowed from Children’s book, Blue the Bird On Flying.
