Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua : Teaching Kids Machu Pichu is in Mexico


I could list a million things wrong with the Disney flick Beverly Hills Chihuahua and please feel free to add your own but given that Disney is gearing the film to impressionable young children , stereotypes aside (and carajo there are alot ) couldn't they at least get their geography correct? Watch the images on the trailer and see if you spot the mistake.


If you said, "um wait that's Machu Pichu, in Peru, land of the Incas not the Aztecs" then you win!
But hey to most gringos it's all the same, you know warriors, papis, bad Spanish accents, latin lover stereotypes.

Let the education begin!!!!

Mira los “jazz hands”!

Was this really necessary?

The above video clip was from the over-saccharine, sanitized-for-your-approval songfest that is the Mexican version of High School Musical.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to watch Callejon de los Milagros for the umpteenth time (starring a pre-Hollywood Salma Hayek!).
