and Bambi, and considering the fact that all of the foregoing films
are championed (in varying degrees) to this day may make that "precarious" descriptor somewhat baffling. As this archival supplement points out,
while many of the early Disney animated efforts were universally praised for their artistry, that didn't necessarily translate into huge box office, and by

source of pride or frustration, depending on your point of
view, then, that evidently none other than Uncle Sam contributed to Disney's survival by sending a bunch of Disney's "imagineers" (if they were called
that then) on a tour of South America as part of the so-called Good Neighbor Policy that was an attempt to keep Nazi influence at bay. The ultimate
cinematic
result vis a vis Disney was first Saludos Amigos and then a rather quick follow up, The Three Caballeros.
