IMDb plot summary: Disney animators tour South America and present four animated shorts inspired by their trip.
Directed by Wilfred Jackson, Jack Kinney, and 3 others. Starring Fred Shields and José Oliveira.
This is a decently entertaining piece of educational film, but educational film is most definitely what it is. The cartoon gags fit around the facts about each country and their culture, not vice versa, which is kind of a cool thing to do, just not what I was expecting from this and not something I'd sit down to rewatch. Several of these shorts are framed with some words about the cartoonists' perspective -- what about this country inspired this kind of story, how character types in one country reminded them of character types in their own, and so on, which gives it a kind of "behind the scenes" feel. It's an interesting one to watch once but definitely isn't one I want to revisit.
