NetfliXperiments: Three Amigos vs. Three Caballeros

By Patrick Roland on 2004-07-25 23:36:33

Here we go folks, the event you?ve waited all summer for. A six-round, head-to-head bout between two films that have nothing to do with each other except similar sounding names.

Experiment Volume 10: Three Amigos vs. Three Caballeros

Amigos: Bumbling movie stars attempt to save a Mexican village and defeat the evil El Guapo.
Caballeros: Cleverly veiled educational film about the culture of Latin America.

Amigos: Early collaboration between Saturday Night Live Producer Lorne Michaels and a handful of SNL alums. Next to the Blues Brothers, probably Michaels? finest effort.
Caballeros: Capturing the magic of early Disney, the seventh full-length feature from the studio such an amazing job of mixing live action and animation, films decades later (Such as Mary Poppins and Pete?s Dragon) still were licking Cabelleros? boots.

Amigos: One for each other and all for one. Three brave amigos are we.
Caballeros: We?re three caballeros/ Three gay caballeros/ They say we are birds of a feather.

Amigos: Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin
Caballeros: Donald Duck, Jose Carioca: a Brazilian Parrot and Ponchito: a Mexican Bird

Amigos: Joe Mantagna, Phil Hartman, John Lovitz and a choir of singing horses.
Cabelleros: A flying donkey and a slutty Carmen Miranda look-a-like.

Amigos: Perhaps the finest homo-erotic cowboy comedy ever made. No one has attempted to steal their crown.
Caballeros: Along with Fantasia and Dumbo, Three Caballeros invented the psychedelic cartoon decades before LSD?s popularity.
