We're killing two films with one podcast this week on We Want The D, but not by doing an original and a remake the way we have in the past. This time, we're looking at SALUDOS AMIGOS, a four-movie package film from the early 1940s; and the 2008 documentary Disney made about the making of said package film, WALT & EL GRUPO. One wouldn't necessarily think the latter deserves the former, but it turns out the documentary is quite illuminating as to just why Disney made not one, but two movies of seemingly disconnected, cute but often generic short films set in South America. Plus is gives Vicky, Nolan and Jill an excuse to dive back into the psychology of Walter Elias Disney, one of our hosts' favourite pastimes.
