Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Saludos Amigos shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Saludos Amigos offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Saludos Amigos at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Saludos Amigos? Wrong! If the Saludos Amigos is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Saludos Amigos then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Saludos Amigos? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Saludos Amigos and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Saludos Amigos wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Saludos Amigos then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Saludos Amigos site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Saludos Amigos, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Saludos Amigos, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

The Three Caballeros (1944)-->
Saludos Amigos ("Alô, Amigos" in Portuguese) is a 1942 animated film produced by Walt Disney and released by
RKO Radio Pictures.Set in Latin America, it is made up of four different segments; Donald Duck stars in two of them and
Goofy stars in one. It also features the first appearance of
José Carioca.
Saludos Amigos was popular enough for a sequel,
The Three Caballeros, to be produced two years later. The film premiered in Rio de Janeiro on
August 24,
1942. It was released in the
United States on February 6,
1943. It garnered mixed reviews and was only reissued once, in
1949, when it was shown on a double bill with the first reissue of
Dumbo.
According to Jack Haley Jr.'s documentary
Life Goes To War, the
United States Department of State commissioned this movie during World War II to be shown in
Central America and
South America to build up relations with the Latin American populace. Several governments (e.g. Argentina) had close ties with Nazi Germany and the most popular US figure there was
Mickey Mouse.

Film segments
This film features four different segments, each of which beginning with various clips of the Disney artists roaming the country drawing up cartoon drawings of some of the local cultures and scenery:
- In Lake Titicaca, American tourist Donald Duck visits the Lake Titicaca and meets with some of the local yokels, including an obstinate llama.
- Pedro involves the title character, a small airplane from Chile, engaging in his very first flight to pick up air mail from Mendoza, Argentina, with near disastrous results.
- In El Gaucho Goofy, American cowboy Goofy gets taken mysteriously to the Argentine pampa to learn the ways of the native gaucho. This segment was later edited for the film's video release to remove one scene of Goofy smoking a cigarette.
- Aquarela do Brasil (or "Watercolor of Brazil"), the finale of the film, involves a brand-new character, José Carioca, showing Donald Duck around South America and introducing him to the samba (to the tunes of "Brazil" and "Tico Tico").
Trivia

- The film's title is Spanish for "Hello, Friends" (more literally, "Greetings, Friends").
- This was the first Disney Animated feature to be shown in South America before it was screened in the USA.

- Gaucho is the denomination for cowboys in South America Pampa region.
- The DVD release has been edited to current cultural attitudes towards animated family films. There is a scene in which Goofy is sitting, dressed as a cowboy. He tips his hat then inhales from a cigarette and then exhales smoke before he is suddenly pulled away. The DVD features him tipping his hat and then sitting still with his arm extended.
- Chilean comic book artist René Ríos (a.k.a. Pepo) was irritated that Chile was represented only by the airplane Pedro and so created his best known character Condorito as an answer to the film .
