Line #13 YMMV/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros


1	* {{Adorkable}}: All of the main characters.
2	** Donald is a grump, but when the Caballeros and Daisy soften him up, he's shown to be quite flustered.
3	** Jose is a NiceGuy, if not a bit gullible. He's perpetually friendly towards everyone he meets.
4	** Panchito is a KindheartedSimpleton who is always excited and energized. When fighting Sheldgoose in Mexico, he treats it as a friendly wrestling match.
5	** Though Xandra is a straight-laced action girl, she'll occasionally join in some of the heroes' goofy moments, and she's quite endearing. Her fangirling of gods is also a plus.
6	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: While the animation is much stiffer and less lively than in the original movie (the characters are ''very obviously'' UsefulNotes/ToonBoom puppets), this show still sports some ''gorgeous'' visuals -- particularly when it comes to the beautiful painted backgrounds, which perfectly capture the look and feel of a Disney feature from the 1940s. The character designs, with the soft, rounded shapes and colored outlines, also capture the classic Disney feel, even if the animation itself does not.
7	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Almost any song that appears in the show is guaranteed to stick in your head for a while.
8	** The opening theme, which is a more "adventurous"-sounding recreation of the classic ''Three Caballeros'' song -- with the exception of [[HaveAGayOldTime replacing "gay" with "brave."]]
9	** Ari's song, which is a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to the one he sang in ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros''.
10	** The "Goblin Jail" song. Panchito found it quite catchy.
11	** "Gotta Draw the Line", Mono's song from the episode "Nazca Racing".
12	** The musical number performed by the yetis. "Welcome to our spa, you'll find it all right here in Shangri-la-di-da."
13	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the first episode, the mother of a brat whom Donald has displeased turns out to be… [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Peg-Leg Pete dressed in drag]]. Still played in an obviously male voice by Creator/JimCummings, and all. No, this is never addressed again; indeed, this was Pete's only appearance.
14	* CrazyIsCool: Ari. The guy made popcorn using a ''grenade''.
15	* CultClassic: For a series that premiered on an app in select territories with very little advertising, it amassed a dedicated fanbase almost overnight due to its good writing, characters, and [[MythologyGag immense amount of references]] to the various material the characters have been in.
16	* EnsembleDarkHorse:
17	** April, May and June, on account of being smart and sassy teenage girls who otherwise rarely appear in animated Duck media.
18	** Also Ari, who manages to be a screwball comedy character without becoming ''too'' annoying and is often actually helpful to the Caballeros.
19	** Xandra is also quite popular for her ActionGirl persona mixed with genuine wisdom and occasional Main/{{Adorkable}} tendencies. She's also [[Main/MsFanservice really hot]].
20	* FandomRivalry: With ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''. Fans of ''The Legend of the Three Caballeros'' believe that Donald feels more like a main character in ''[=TLo3C=]'' thanks to the kids not taking too much focus away from him and the other Caballeros, think the animation manages to evoke that of the ''WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts'' that inspired the series, and enjoy its more directly serialized nature. Fans of ''[=DuckTales=]'' think that their franchise is more iconic, feel it's bolder and more risk-taking with its plots, and think the animation manages to evoke that of comic books (bringing to mind its ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'' roots). Said fans also point out that the writers have been addressing the latter show's flaws by putting more limelight on the adult characters in later seasons, and point to their version of Daisy Duck, who was more [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap positively received]] than this [[TheScrappy show's version]]. In contrast, fans of ''Legends'' note that the ''[=DuckTales=]'' version of Panchito and José, with their different voice actors and somewhat different personalities, are underwhelming.
21	** This isn't helped by Donald Duck's VA Tony Anselmo being on record a few times (such as 55:00 in [[https://vgfiles.com/ducktalks/ducktalks-e071.mp3 this]] podcast), for preferring ''this series'' version of the character, believing it has the truest portrayal of Donald Duck (likely in part because he's allowed to assist in writing the duck's lines).
22	* FanPreferredCouple: For those taking issue with this show's version of Daisy, there are those who pair Donald with Xandra. It helps that she's much nicer.
23	* FourthWallMyopia: While Daisy is very unforgiving toward Donald early in Season 1, it's also easy to forget she doesn't know the ''damn good'' reasons Donald has to ditch her that the audience is in on. For example, in the first episode she took the day off to be with Donald on his birthday, only for him to leave her stranded in a very sketchy and unsafe part of town for hours on end after promising he'd be right over, and she implies this is far from the first time he's done something like this. And during their romantic dinner when Donald is trying to woo her back, she can tell he's hiding a big secret about his new life from her (since he claims he's unemployed yet hired her three nieces to house-keep), and then ditches her a few times during said dinner. While the ''audience'' knows he has damn good reasons for the above (his MeanBoss called him in to work, his house burned down, he had to save the world), ''Daisy'' is LockedOutOfTheLoop, so from ''her'' perspective he's just being secretive and unreliable as usual. While it doesn't excuse her being so mean to him (and especially not her OperationJealousy ploy later), it's also easy to forget her POV.
24	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Just like with ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' , Creator/TonyAnselmo shows a lot of range as Donald, especially here since he's the lead.
25	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The Three Cabelleros during their adventures become quite the TrueCompanions.
26	** The group hug they share during Stonehenge All Bets, and Donald admitting that he loves them.
27	** Both Jose and Panchito seem rather annoyed with Daisy and her OperationJealousy ploy. While not outright saying it to her face, Jose says what Donald is really thinking of Dapper Duck.
28	** There's something sweet about Panchito treating his match against Sheldgoose as a friendly match, despite the fact that Sheldgoose is constantly trying to kill him. His hesitance on continuing with the match sells it because he knows if he wins (and he knows he will), Sheldgoose will die.
29	* HilariousInHindsight: Watching Daisy's triplet nieces using a grappling gun and StringTheory become this after the WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017 GrandFinale [[spoiler: where it's revealed Webby whose strongly associated with those two characterizations is that continuity's April.]]
30	* JerkassWoobie: Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one... but Donald Duck! In the first episode he is humiliated and fired from his job, returns home to see his house destroyed and has his girlfriend call him and scold him. '''On his birthday'''. In episode five he goes on a date with Daisy, and she ends up breaking up with him because he needed to save his friends and is unable to tell Daisy what he's been up to. Even with his temper and grouchy attitude, you'll want to give him a hug.
31	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The climax of season one as seen in the ActionPrologue.
32	* NarmCharm: The show is [[ClicheStorm very cliched]], but it just ''works.'' It also helps that the show never takes itself too seriously and manages to weave in a sense of fun.
33	* PeripheryDemographic: [[https://disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:1530475058823.jpg The show's bible]] has categorized its audiences as "primarily" boys 8-12, "secondarily" boys in other age groups and parents, and "tertiarily" girls and collectors. Girls and collectors occupy the largest part of the fandom, or at least the most vocal part.
34	** Much like ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' , this show has gained a wide audience outside of kids due to being the only 2 shows that use the classic Disney characters for serialized storytelling.
35	* TheScrappy: Daisy Duck is at her worst in this series. She is seen by many as a toxic and abusive girlfriend who complains about Donald not giving her enough attention and refuses to listen to his explanations even when he has ''damn good'' reasons. First, she breaks up with him ''while his house is burning down'', then gets offended when Donald runs off from their date to ''save the world''. Then she shows up at Donald's house with her new date [[OperationJealousy just to make her ex-boyfriend jealous out of spite]] (despite the fact that SHE broke up with HIM), and gets offended when Donald cares more about stopping a rampaging bear. Although she gets slightly better in the second half of the season, she is never called out for her mean behavior and she is presented as a desirable partner for Donald, who does his best to get back together with her. The fandom disagrees, believing Donald deserves a better girlfriend. She's getting even more flak after ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' introduced their version of Daisy, whose relationship with Donald starts out on a much more equal footing and is just a much more pleasant person in general.
36	* SpiritualSuccessor: The series has a feel similar to shows from WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon, particularly the original ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales\|1987}}'', with its focus on lighthearted and fantastic adventures, albeit much more serialized (with each episode continuing off of each other).
37	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The Aracuan Bird's theme song is ever-so-slightly different in tune from the original, though it has the same rhythm. Frank Angones, the creator of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' confirmed [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/179984389086/donald-actually-has-a-decent-singing-voice on his blog]] that Disney does not own the rights to the Aracuan song, which explains why Ari sings a SuspiciouslySimilarSong instead. (In [[https://youtu.be/U09VbukKq4U?t=520 one of the previews shown at a D23 Events panel]], he does sing the classic song, and his mouth movements fits that song far better, which suggests that the SuspiciouslySimilarSong came in late in the production.)
38	* {{Tearjerker}}: Near the middle of the first episode. Donald has lost his job, his house burnt down, and his girlfriend breaks up with him. He even sheds a tear.
39	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Given that the entire purpose of the original animated films was to improve the U.S.' relations with Latin America, it makes one wonder why there are very few references to Latin American culture outside of two episodes in the show. Even the Caballeros' ancestors are depicted wearing Roman-style armor instead of Aztec-style armor like you'd expect.
40	* TransAudienceInterpretation: Although unconfirmed by the creators, some viewers interpret Eugenia Ferdinand-Ferdinand as a transgender woman due to her male peafowl plumage.
41	* UnexpectedCharacter:
42	** Absolutely no one expected Daisy's nieces April, May and June to become recurring characters, especially since their only previous animated appearance was a non-speaking cameo in ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' and Huey, Dewey and Louie are far more famous than they are.
43	** Alright, how many of you expected Clinton Coot to feature? Or even remembered his existence?
44	** "[[NoNameGiven Donald's Double]]" from ''Donald's Double Trouble'' is back... and now he has a ''name'' as well (It's Dapper Duck)!
45	** Even Humphrey the Bear ''and'' Spike the Bee are in this show! Well, unnamed [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of them, but still!
46	** Possibly the most obscure and unexpected is Don Dugo aka [[https://scrooge-mcduck.wikia.com/wiki/Don_de_Pato Don de Pato]], Donald's ancestor and one of the original Three Caballeros, as his only other appearances were a single comic and an obscure version of the [[http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/ducktrees/treeschuijl.jpg Duck family tree]]. Don Dugo isn't even the name he was given in the English translations.
47	** Although one of the best-established characters of the Disney Ducks canon, audiences were still surprised by the brief cameo of Scrooge [=McDuck=] in the penultimate episode.
48	** The appearance of WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} in the first episode isn't as surprising as the fact that he's playing a ''woman''.
49	* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack: How many fans felt about Donald and Daisy's relationship in the series. See TheScrappy above.
