In 1941, Walt Disney and a team of artists traveled to Latin America to experience the culture and gather inspiration for a series of films. This trip was not only a creative expedition but also part of a broader initiative by the US Government to foster goodwill between Latin American countries and the United States during World War II. In this clip from South of the Border with Disney, we see Walt Disney in Chile attempting to play guitar and learn the traditional Cueca dance. | Disney History
