About

José Carioca (also known as Zé Carioca) is an anthropomorphic Brazilian parrot that first appeared in Disney's 1943 animated feature film Saludos Amigos. A slick and debonair malandro from Rio de Janeiro, José befriended Donald Duck during the latter's trip to South America. In later years, José joined Donald and the rambunctious rooster Panchito Pistoles as a member of the Three Caballeros.
