I remember waiting all week for this episode to come on, as they always would show what was coming for the next week. We had just purchased a beautiful palomino mare, at auction, that had been starved down and was recovering. This episode came out just a few days later, and I loved that our sweet mare looked so much like Cristobalito, except she was nearly 17 hands tall, being an Anglo-Arab. She was a family member and a gorgeous mount to ride until she passed at just over thirty years old. So glad to see this movie again after five decades!

Thank you. I think the mid 70s was the last time I saw this. I don’t understand why all of these aren’t on Disney+.

[@keepingwaltindisney]

I honestly have no clue. I mean, I have theories…but I like to keep things light and fun on the channel! Lol.

Like Nascar and the NFL, Disney has forgotten its roots.

Love your channel! This is the way any Disney movie should always be. Saw this featurette on TV and didn't appreciate it because I was a snarky teenager, and now it's great to watch it again 53 years later.

Thanks so much for these videos. It has been such a long time since I have watched them. I remember them well !

[@Huskyrescue2296]

I had to thank you so much for putting these old Disney films on RUclips. They have been such a joy. I've been very run down and stressed due to work lately. So I come in, relax, turn these on and tune out the "noise" of everything negative going on in the world. I'm very grateful.

[@keepingwaltindisney]

Thank you for your comments. It means the world to me to hear things like this!! I love these shows despite being born in 74. Such a treasure that shouldn’t be “hid under a bushel”

i dont no what im.about to watch

[@kidmack3556]

Minor criticism;
It probably should be titled "Cristobalito The Salsero, or The Boogaloo-ero Colt"
Calypso music isn't Puerto Rican.
