- Quotes
Donald Duck:[referring to a pinata]What's this?
Panchito:What's this?
[laughs]
Panchito:This is your gift from Mexico, Donald: a pinata!
Donald Duck:Oh, boy, oh, boy, a pinata!... What's a pinata?
Panchito:A pinata is full of surprises. Presents. It's the very spirit of Christmas.
Donald Duck:Christmas!
[singing]
Donald Duck:Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
Panchito:[laughing]Oh, no, no, Donald! For goodness sake, not "Jingle Bells". In Mexico, they sing "Las Posadas".
- Crazy creditsIn the end of the movie, the fireworks exploding of the title "Fin", "Fim" and "The End".
- Alternate versionsThere was an airing of this film for American television in the early 1980s which was extended to help it fit into a two-hour time slot. This was done by editing in selected shorts on similar themes. Among them werePluto and the Armadillo (1943),Clown of the Jungle (1947),andMorris the Midget Moose (1950).

Played and Sung during the opening credits
Suddenly, I started singing...
"Somos los tres carros, los Tres Caballeros, y nadie es igual a nosotros..."
What do I know. My friends all knew the words. 4 guys, ranging from 27 to 31 years old, began forming a chrous line and singing off the top of our lungs...
I don't know how this happened. This is not, by any stretch of imagination, a popular or wildly succesful film. I guess it just touched us, the way Donald Duck had a mexican friend (Panchito), or the wild "Piñata" scene, or the strong latin flavour of the film.
Memories notwithstanding, we kept on singing... and singing... and singing.
People around us seemed to enjoy the show, too.
"Valientes brillamos, como brilla un peso
-Quien dice?!?
NOSOTROS, LOS TRES CABALLEROS! "
