WD-FM: Walt and El Grupo

“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.

Great video! but you guys forgot to mention Ecuador among the countries El Grupo visited. The museum has the pictures for their ecuadorian visas up on display! Ecuador is briefly seen in The Three Caballeros in the Pablo de Penguin short where he leaves for the Galapagos Islands. I hope you get to mention it in another time :)
