Скачать или смотреть A Brazilian Symphony: Caxanga (1942)

This unfinished animated short starring Donald Duck was intended to be part of Walt Disney's South American "Good Neighbor Program" films in the early 1940s.

While in Latin America, the Disney research group learned to play Caxanga, a game where, in time to a catchy tune, matchboxes are rhythmically passed from player to player.

There were many attempts to include this game in the Latin American cartoons. At one time or another it had been part of story plans for "Aquarela Do Brasil", "Carnival Carioca", and "Blame It On The Samba".

"Caxanga" evolved from these casual inclusions in other stories into a cartoon of its own. This version progressed to the beginnings of the pencil animation phase before it was shelved. Some unedited dialogue, narration, and music tracks were also created.

This cartoon was reconstructed from original pencil animation and background layouts, along with existing audio elements and newly recorded tracks.
