SlothfulCobra posted:Maybe not back in the day, but now it totally fits for a college graduate to still be unable to find gainful employment and live on a boat because they can't afford a house. I mostly don't think he'd have the patience to sit through all the lectures and written tests. I'm not a smug rear end in a top hat who thinks that a college degree means automatic employment and therefore that all unemployed people are uneducated.

Donald said they were college buddies; he never said he graduated.

The look on Scrooge's face when Donald said that he owned McDuck Enterprises was fantastic.

Hey now, Jose is doing very well for himself  being a flight attendant is a perfectly respectable career. They have a strong union, they get health insurance, and they earn lots of travel miles they can put towards vacations. Let us not thumb our noses at working class birds.But yeah, it was cute that they wanted to impress each other

So I've never actually seen The Three Caballeros, how is it? Also were Jose and Panchito voiced by their original actors in this, or if not did they at least sound close?

The animation holds up great and the musical numbers are excellent. The actors that played Jose and Panchito originally are both long dead, I believe (the film came out in 1944).

Are you talking about the movie, or the streaming show they did this year? If you mean the movie, I watched it once when I was a kid, so I only have spotty memories of it, but it’s... weird. It’s a lot like Fantasia: a series of songs/animation/live action sequences designed to teach white kids about Mexican, Central and South American culture in the span of 90 minutes and in the least-racist way that the Walt Disney Company of the 1940s could manage. The film is largely driven by Panchito and Jose, again, from what I remember, and contributed a lot to their enduring popularity despite barely showing up in anything else Disney’s done until this year. Haven’t watched the show, but from what I’ve seen it’s an update take on the movie with an actual plot this time spread out over like 10 or 12 episodes. Panchito and Jose don’t use the same voice actors for DuckTales as they do for the series because Jamie Camil and Eric Bauza already play Don Karnage and the Beagle Boys, respectively, so they wanted different voices for DuckTales.

The final musical number is the only weak point in the three caballeros because it just drags on and on instead of being a rousing fun number like the rest Go watch it It’s great

Disney was hired by the US government during WW2 to make the original movie as a sort of "goodwill package" to Latin America, to reinforce American culture there against a perceived creeping Nazi influence.

Yeah it and it's prequel Saludos Amigos are fun movies, but then pretty much the only movie in the Disney Animated Canon that is completely without merit is probably Dinosaur in my opinion

I know, factually, that's what it's called, after the source material of the same name. But for whatever reason, I can't help but call it 'Mr. Toad's Wild Ride'. Personally, I blame my mother's love of theme parks..

To be fair there's a reason why "X's Wild Ride" is such a catchy and recurring refrain in this insane decade. It's a great title onto itself.

MonsterEnvy posted:Apparently Jose and Panchito have gotten lines recorded for a future episode. Wouldn't be surprised to see them showing up more in Donald-centric episodes. Might be a bit of a theme given he's finally got a steady babysitter (and a second home) for the triplets and they're getting old enough to take care of themselves, so Donald finally has some free time for probably the first time in a decade at least. I didn't finish the possibly-accidentally-released Three Caballeros series (It's kinda average, though with ups and downs) but I did kinda miss Jose and Panchito's more developed character quirks from that. Would be interesting to see them contrasted with the triplets; Jose's personality in the series was a bit like Louie and Dewey trying to talk and charm his way out of everything (though he's not quite as much of a polyglot as he thinks he is) while Panchito's kind of a lunatic.

Does Chicken Little count as Disney Animated Canon? Because if it does then it's complete crap too. Even on a technical level, it wasn't ahead of what Pixar was producing at the time.

I wasn't really following news about the show or anything, so when I started watching this last episode and saw Portuguese I popped SUPER HARD for Zé Carioca, you guys don't even know. Although I have to say that Zé Carioca holding a freakin' job is an affront to canon. Ducktales is really good, y'all.

New episode is up on streaming. A couple of nods to the old cartoon with the harpies. Overall, a good Ghostbusters adaptation with a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory chaser.

Funny thing is Hercules is certainly no stranger to doing odd jobs with a fair amount of collateral damage, though probably not used to the modern employment context. Storkules and Donald actually have a lot in common. ed: D'aww, Huey has a nightcap cap. I do love that Dewey realises he has no counter-argument to Louie's assertion that he'd be a terrible employee. (A bit funny since he HAS worked for Mark Beaks in the past, but probably has to admit that was all style over substance) Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Nov 18, 2018 |
