History WesternAnimation / LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros

'''Panchito:''' [[CloudCuckoolander You had]] ''[[CloudCuckoolander me]]'' [[CloudCuckoolander at "and"!]]

* ABirthdayNotABreak: The series starts on Donald's birthday, and it’s not the most happiest of starts.

** Panchito no longer carries his pistols and his original surname Pistoles is likewise dropped to accomodate this.

--> '''Jose''': The sparseness of line and attention to negative space is primitive, yet evocative.
--> '''Panchito''': And also ''cool''.

** Jose no longer smokes cigars due to Disney's self-imposed [[NoSmoking ban on on-screen smoking]] in their media since 2007.

* BrokenAesop: "Shangri-La-Di-Da'', is centered around Donald's anger problem. He has some sort of fantasy where a spirit tells him to reflect on everything that's happened so far that's gotten him into trouble. While Donald's anger is a defining characteristic, losing his barber shop job was because of the kid who refused to sit still and let his hair to get cut, the breakup with Daisy was her not letting him explain anything and his hair cut boss demanding he come in to work or be fired (who has worse anger issues than him) so he can't do both. His house burning down was due to the firefighters chopping everything with axes rather than using water. [[InformedWrongness None of those things were due to his anger]]. However, this could also be the spirit telling Donald to reflect on the source of his anger rather than what was caused by his anger.

--> '''José pointing at Donald:''' "''He'' does not like you!"
--> '''Panchito pointing at José:''' "''He'' does not like you either. But I'm on the fence."

* CanonForeigner: Lord Felldrake, Baron von Sheldgoose, and Xandra, and a lot of the supporting cast.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Uniquely, every episode ends on one of these that lead in to the next one.

* DarkestHour: Episode 12. [[spoiler:Sheldgoose has stolen the Caballeros' amulets, Felldrake is on his way on becoming the most powerful warlock in the universe, Jose, Panchito, and Xandra are ready to fight Sheldgoose and Felldrake, and Donald isn't here until the very end.]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: The Three Caballeros, Sheldgoose, and Felldrake are all sent to the Underworld by the God of Death, and an entire episode is dedicated to them trying to come back to life.]]

* EskimosArentReal: In one episode Baron Sheldgoose tries to explain his absence from the Quackmore Institute that he's suppose to be running.
-->'''Sheldgoose:''' I had to go away for a month.. [[CassandraTruth to the moon; there were robots!]]
-->'''Aristocrat:''' Poppycock! There's no such thing as the moon!

--> '''May:''' We will NOT be invited back.

** Donald's status as a [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]] is alluded to in episode 4, when he states he's freezing and Panchito points out he's not wearing pants. (José defends him, of course.)
** It happens again in episode 5, when Donald tries to explain to Daisy why he's wearing a grass skirt and says he "lost his pants," only for Daisy to point out he doesn't wear them.

%%* TheLegendOfX

** After the bratty kid who Donald gave a haircut to calls for his mother, footsteps are heard and ripples are seen in a glass of water like in Film/JurassicPark.

** Episode 3 ended with a shout out to the warehouse scene from Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk.
** Episode 6 features the Goblin War Beast, which is a {{Franchise/Godzilla}}-like monster.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The series has a feel similar to shows from ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon'', particularly ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales1987'', with its focus on lighthearted and fantastic adventures, albeit much more serialized (with each episode continuing off of each other).

* TookALevelInBadass: Over time, Donald, Panchito and Jose become quite competent warriors. This is more evident after training with King Arthur, who basically gave them the equivalent of one year of hero training in a single day.
* TotemPoleTrench: April, May and June do this to pose as a waiter at a fancy restaurant in Episode 5.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: The focus of "No Man is an Easter Island", the Moai serve as guardians against a swarm of lava lizards that want to carry their queen to the surface.

* TheLegendOfX

* {{Spexico}} : Panchito, a Mexican character, mentions the "running of the bulls", which is a ''spanish'' tradition linked to the (equally) spanish corrida. [[spoiler: During the Caballeros' encounter with Larry the Minotaur, they defeat him using a corrida-inspired tactic, waving a red cloth to trick him into charging into a massive pillar]].

* AdaptationalNameChange: Panchito's original surname Pistoles is dropped and replaced with a [[OverlyLongName significantly longer one]] which was previously used in his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.

* AlphaBitch: Daisy Duck in this series is much more selfish, cruel, spoiled and abusive towards Donald. First, she breaks up with him without giving him a chance to fully explain the situation, she leaves him with an expensive check at a restaurant while breaking up with him again. And finally, [spoiler: brings her new boyfriend to Donald's house, to make Donald jealous out of spite (Yes, she really is that cruel)]]. Many would wonder why Donald decides to take her back at the end.

* FurryDenial: Quoting Panchito: "We're not birds. Its not like we can fly".
** Zigzagged: Though, considering that Donald, April, May, June, Daisy, Sheldgoose, Ari, Jose, and many other bird characters are pantsless and that Donald’s and Jose’s [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal pantsless status]] is alluded to, Donald still sounds [[AnimalSpeciesAccent as ducky as ever]], the yetis refer to his "feathers and beak" in their song, and he is imagined as being inside an egg a DisneyAcidSequence, this trope is not actually in effect on the non historical figure mortal characters. The historical figures (who are depicted as anthropomorphic animals, such as ducks and {{dogfaces}}) on the other hand, are contextually human.
** Furthermore, there are also non-anthropomorphic animals like the Bear Rug and the termites (pre-transformation) on the World Tree, who can still make some human-like gestures, as well as creatures that are seen as part-human, part-animal, like the Minotaur (as indicated by his [[AnimalSpeciesAccent mooing]] and the various allusions to beef products and bullfighting) and the Tengu (that Clinton Coot refers to as a hawk-headed creature). Overall it's [[FurryConfusion pretty confusing]].

* AmazonianBeauty: Xandra.

* ColorCodedCharacters: Donald, José and Panchito are blue, green and red, respectively; Xandra is [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine golden-yellow]]; the villains (Sheldgoose, Felldrake and Leopold) are [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple]]. As for the secondary characters, May and June are also purple and yellow, but different shades, April is orange and Daisy is pink.

* ColorCodedCharacters: Donald, José and Panchito are blue, green and red, respectively; Xandra is [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine golden-yellow]]; the villains (Sheldgoose, Felldrake and Leopold) are [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple]].

An animated series featuring the titular heroes of the 1945 film ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'', the series took several traits from [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts theatrical ''Donald Duck'' shorts]], in addition to the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse. It debuted on the [=DisneyLife=] streaming app in the Philippines on June 9, 2018, with thirteen episodes. The show finally came out in [[https://d23.com/donald-duck-fun-facts/ America]] on Creator/DisneyPlus on November 12, 2019.

'''Panchito:''' [[CloudCukoolander You had]] ''[[CloudCukoolander me]]'' [[CloudCukoolander at "and"!]]

%%* SourSupporter: April, May and June are shaping up to be this for the Caballeros.

'''Panchito:''' [[CloudCukooLanderYou had]] ''[[CloudCukooLander me]]'' [[CloudCukooLander at "and"!]]

'''Panchito:''' You had ''me'' at "and"!

* EvilIsHammy: Lord Felldrake, even while trapped in a staff and not able to move under his own power, manages to ChewTheScenery to an impressive degree, thanks to Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson's performance.

* {{Adorkable}}: While usually a straight-up ActionGirl, Xandra has her moments of this, especially when {{fangirl}}ing over the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Roman Gods]].

It all started on his birthday. Dumped by his girlfriend, fired from his job, and newly homeless after his house burned down, hapless everyman WesternAnimation/{{Donald Duck}}'s fortunes appear to flip when he inherits the dilapidated, but antique-engorged estate of his great-grandfather, Clinton Coot. Along with his fellow heirs (the charming but penniless José Carioca and daredevil hidalgo [[OverlyLongName Panchito Romero Miguel Francisco Quintero Gonzalez III]]) Donald wastes no time in trying to profit from the horde of priceless artifacts, only to be dragged kicking and screaming into an immense and deadly cosmic war.
