Legend of the Three Caballeros is a 2018 animated series based on the 1944 film The Three Caballeros. It debuted on the DisneyLife streaming app in the Philippines on June 9, 2018, with thirteen episodes. It was originally intended for a summer 2017 release and to be presented as a series of specials and a movie.

The series centers on the globetrotting adventures of Donald Duck, José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles, with episodes set in the United States, Peru, Egypt and more.

The series made its linear television debut on Disney Channel (Southeast Asia) on January 1, 2019.[1] Tony Anselmo announced at Ontario Comic Con that the series would be coming to Disney+ in the United States, debuting with the service on November 12, 2019.[2]

The show started airing on August 7, 2021 on Disney XD in the United States.[3]

The series has a serialized narrative as each episode picks up from the last one.

Premise[]

Dumped by his girlfriend, fired from his job, and completely homeless, hapless everyman Donald Duck's fortunes appear to flip when he inherits the dilapidated, but antique estate of his great-grandfather, Clinton Coot. Along with his fellow heirs (charming casanova José Carioca and daredevil hidalgo Panchito), Donald wastes no time in trying to profit from the horde of priceless artifacts, only to be dragged kicking and screaming into an immense and deadly cosmic war.

Trivia[]

  • The show is a reboot of the film The Three Caballeros and its bookending prequel and sequel, as here the show presumes that both Donald Duck, Panchito Pistoles and Jose Carioca have never met before now.
  • While the show is inspired by the film The Three Caballeros, the show also draws inspiration and ideas from various Donald Duck cartoon shorts from the 1940s and 1950s, such as Donald retaining his early-to-mid-1940s look which restores the buttons on his sailor suit and his bowtie colored black instead of red like in the comics.
  • This show also marks the first appearances of Daisy's nieces April, May, and June since the House of Mouse episode "Ladies' Night", as well as the first time the trio are given speaking roles.
  • Director Matt Danner did say on Twitter that if Season 2 gets greenlit, it will focus on Jose.
  • Oddly enough, Disney was unsure of seeing Donald as a terrible person, so Matt Danner created a compilation of all the terrible things he had done over the years which according to him left a "look of shock on their faces".[4]
  • When the Aracuan Bird screams, the scream was reused from the Warner Bros. live-action short film Art Trouble (1934).
    • Co-incidentally, Dee Bradley Baker, who provided the Aracuan Bird's vocal effects in this show, also provided the voice of Warner Bros.' very own similar "screwball" bird Daffy Duck in New Looney Tunes at the same time this show was made.
