I just watched the first four episodes and I really love this show! It's so nice to see hand-drawn animation done well rather than the typical cheap animated series projects that television is fraught with.
The only reason I knew about this show is because of this forum here. I've never seen it promoted anywhere else.

I went to the screening for the movie in Orlando, where they showed this panel. Just like there, very few people were familiar with the show at our screening, which I'm not surprised by. It's a cute show, but Disney is not advertising it at all.
I was mostly curious to see why the showrunners decided to ignore Carl Barks' lore in this series, and they bring up a good point that the McDuck side of Donald's family has been very well detailed, but not so much his father's side. I am still surprised that Huey, Dewey, and Louie were totally ignored for April, May, and June, but they worked out pretty well anyway.
Do you mean a screening for the original Three Caballeros movie which had a panel for this show or was there some film version of this show compiled together?
I'm glad April, May and June were included as well. We rarely ever see them and Huey, Dewey and Louie are overexposed anyway. It's interesting that this show basically pretends that the original films of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros never occurred since Donald has no idea who Jose and Panchito are when he meets them here in the first episode. Which I can't exactly blame so I don't care at all for Donald's characterization in those films so it's nice for that to be retconned away. I remember even critics back then were not a fan of how sexually manic Donald came across as.
