ABOUT THE FILM:  The Three Caballeros is a 1944 American musical anthology film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The live action/animated film premiered in Mexico City on December 21, 1944, and was released in the United States on February 3, 1945. It was later released in the United Kingdom in March 1945.
The narrative is presented through a series of self-contained segments, linked by the framing device of Donald receiving birthday gifts from his Latin American friends. Featured performers include Auro MIranda, Au Dora Luz, and Carmen Molina.

The film was developed as part of the studio's contribution to the U.S. Good Neighbor policy toward Latin America during WWII. 

ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheets are reference guides used by animators to ensure consistency in character design, proportions, and expressions throughout a film. These printed sheets typically feature multiple poses, facial expressions, and turnarounds of a character, often photocopied from finalized drawings by lead animators. Model sheets help maintain uniformity in animation by providing a standard reference for all artists working on a character, preventing visual discrepancies between different scenes.
