Jose Carioca (Three Caballeros)

Last Updated on: March 28th, 2024

Who is Jose Carioca?

José Carioca is a charming and lively Brazilian parrot who made his debut in Disney’s 1942 film Saludos Amigos, part of Disney’s Latin American-themed productions created to foster goodwill during World War II.

José, also known as “Zé Carioca” in Brazil, is a green parrot dressed in a dapper outfit, complete with a hat, bow tie, and umbrella. His character represents the upbeat, fun-loving spirit of Brazil and provides audiences with a colorful and engaging introduction to the country’s vibrant culture, music, and dance.

In Saludos Amigos, José meets Donald Duck while the two are exploring Rio de Janeiro. With a warm, welcoming nature and an expert grasp of samba music, José acts as Donald’s guide, teaching him about Brazil’s rhythms, customs, and lifestyle. His personality is suave and debonair, embodying a stereotypical Brazilian who is relaxed, smooth, and a bit of a flirt. This role made José a cultural icon in Brazil and introduced international audiences to Brazilian traditions.

José Carioca was voiced by José Oliveira, a Brazilian singer and voice actor known for his expressive performances. Oliveira’s voice brought charisma to the character, with an accent and charm that immediately resonated with Brazilian and American audiences alike. José later appeared in The Three Caballeros (1944), further solidifying his place in Disney’s classic roster and cementing his role as an ambassador of Brazilian culture in the Disney universe.
