| Celebrating our 30th Year in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! |
| THE THREE CABALLEROS 1945 was released during World War II and showcased the idea that North and South Americans should be good friends. Donald Duck's adventures in South America included some memorable musical sequences with his new friends Panchito and Jose Carioca. Original art from this film is quite rare and we are delighted to share these with you |
An imaginative color stylist and designer, Mary Blair helped introduce modern art to Walt Disney and his Studio, and for nearly 30 years, he touted her inspirational work for his films and theme parks alike.
Animator Marc Davis, who put Mary's exciting use of color on a par with Matisse, recalled, "She brought modern art to Walt in a way that no one else did. He was so excited about her work."
Walt connected with Mary's fresh, childlike art style. In 1940, she joined The Walt Disney Studios and worked on a number of projects.
In 1941, she joined the Disney expedition that toured South America for three months and painted watercolors that so captured the spirit of the Latin countries that she was named art supervisor on "The Three
Caballeros". The film was produced as part of the studio's good will message for South America, but is less obviously propagandistic than others. The film again starred Donald Duck, who in the course of the film
is joined by old friend José Carioca, the cigar-smoking parrot from Saludos Amigos (1942) representing Brazil, and later makes a new friend in the persona of pistol-packing rooster Panchito Pistoles,
representing Mexico.
