OK, my kids suggested this one. We saw the very cute Disney movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua last night and it deals on a subtle level with Anglo-Hispanic relations. One of the lead characters is Papi, the landscaping dog, voiced by comedian George Lopez. The movie has some funny immigrant story lines including one where the title character (voiced by Drew Barrymore) has to be smuggled back in to the US and she is being shepherded by a coyote (a real coyote). I am quite sure someone at Disney is going to take heat over that one.
