Video introduction of The Three Horsemen

The Three Caballeros (The Three Caballeros) is an animated film launched by Disney in 1945. It is Disney's seventh classic animation and is a somewhat documentary-like work.

The Three Caballeros is Walt Disney's second animated film introducing Central and South America, following the 1943 animated documentary A Friend. This film still features Donald Duck as the protagonist, narrating that he received a gift from Latin America on his birthday, and then enjoyed a happy journey again. The film consists of three sections. The first two sections are stories spread by two Latin peoples. The third section is purely a travel note. It is also the longest section of the film. Donald Duck travels with his good friends. Traveling throughout Brazil and Mexico, many scenes were performed simultaneously with live action and animation. The so-called Three Horsemen refer to Donald Duck and Jose Carioca, a parrot from Brazil. He and Donald Duck have already known each other in the movie Hello Friend; and the other one is Panchito, a rooster from Mexico. Among them, Donald Duck and Brazil's Jose Carioca appeared together again in the 1948 animated film Melody Time, and even danced a samba together.

The film is directed by Norman Ferguson. The music is composed by Charles Wolcott, Edward Plumb, and Paul J. Smith. The music and lyrics are composed by multiple people. These include world-famous songs "Baía" and "Os Quindins De Yayá" by renowned Latin music composer Ary Barroso. The film also received two Oscar nominations that year for Best Musical Score and Best Sound Recording.

The Three Caballeros has not released any original audio-visual products in Taiwan, but it has been broadcast on the Taiwan Disney Channel. However, the Chinese title is translated as Donald Duck's Adventures in Mexico.
