“Saludos amigos, a fond greeting to you!" Join us as Bri and Chris take a closer look at Walt’s 1941 South America Goodwill Tour and the resulting films Saludos Amigos (1943) and The Three Caballeros (1945) in the newest episode of WD-FM: The Official Walt Disney Family Museum Podcast. Learn more about how this timeframe was the "toughest period" of Walt's life, why the FDR administration wanted Walt to be a cultural ambassador, and how Disney Legend Mary Blair's art style was transformed by this trip.
