1944 POPULAR SCIENCE ARTICLE ON "THREE CABALLEROS"

The posting of the January 1940 Popular Mechanics article on Disney's PINOCCHIO last week has inspired me to dig out this September 1944 issue of Popular Science. The magazine's 6 page article is focused around the innovations of The Three Caballeros, Disney's first large scale attempt, in color, to combine live action and animation. Unlike the earlier piece however, Disney animator Ward Kimball, storyman Ernie Terrazas (pictured above), and background painter Art Riley are credited in captions.
