The meeting in Mexico between the leaders of that nation, Canada and the United States has been dubbed a gathering of "The Three Amigos," recalling the 1986 film starring another Steve--Martin--Chevy Chase and Martin Short.
But we think a better analogy is to Disney's "The Three Caballeros," which came out in 1944. In this mix of cartoon and live action, Donald Duck heads (or waddles) south and meets Jose Carioca, a cigar-puffing parrot from Brazil, and Panchito Pistolas, a pistol-packing Mexican rooster.
They end up dancing the samba, and meet someone very like Carmen Miranda. We hope the same comes true for Senors Harper, Obama and Pena Nieto.
