FacebookXPinterestEmailEmailEmailShare

In 1941, FDR asked Walt Disney to take some of his artists on a goodwill tour of South America in an attempt to stem the rising tide of Nazi sympathies in the region.

The mission happened before the United States entered the war, so Disney's efforts were pretty much forgotten until the release of Walt & El Grupo, a new documentary that finally tells this lost tale of WWII. You can buy the DVD at Amazon. It's also available for rental or streaming at Netflix.
