José reappears in this sequel film to Saludos Amigos. “ Have You Been to Baía, Donald?” ―José to Donald Nevertheless, José is jovial and always excited to learn new things, having had an enjoyable trip despite the misunderstandings. When told he'll see a moose during his tour, José assumed he was prepping to see his friend Mickey Mouse.
He also has some trouble with the English language despite being bilingual. In " Two Happy Amigos", he toured some American states and mistook wild animals (mostly predators looking to eat him) as friendly natives. José is also the best friend of Panchito Pistoles who, despite being the most rambunctious and unpredictable of the three, shares José's charisma and prosperity.įor all his elegance, José is rather naive when it comes to America and its customs. Since, both José and Donald express great joy whenever they have the chance to reunite. Being a fan, he was more than happy to introduce Donald to Rio, and a friendly bond grew rather quickly afterward. José is unique in that he is one of the few Disney characters to actually admire Donald Duck and his work, as José himself revealed in Saludos Amigos. He is also eager to share the culture and costumes of his country with others, as when he meets Donald and wants to show him everything about Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia. He is very passionate about the Brazilian culture, the food and drinking, the places, the music, and is often seeing singing and dancing samba, a typical music genre from Brazil. He carries around an umbrella wherever he goes, using it as a cane he can also use it as a musical instrument, such as a flute, guitar or trombone. He is portrayed as a ladies' man, enjoys parties, and acts as a typical "brazilian rascal", called "malandro" in portuguese. He is extremely benevolent, charming, kind hearted and debonair besides being very extroverted and talkactive, tending to make friends fairly easily, and rarely suffering the same comical misfortunes as his classic Disney co-stars (at least in animation). José is practically Donald's opposite, in that he is suave, cool and good under pressure. To find a new market to make up for this, Walt Disney focused on the South American market and used José Carioca to help promote this. His clothes represent the Brazilian "Malandros" (someone who is a "rascal" or has a "bad boy" life style in Brazil) and his happiness resembles that of Rio de Janeiro.įrom the end of the Second World War until 1949, American films were not allowed to be exported to Occupied Europe, which included Disney cartoons.
He is smart, friendly and always in a good mood. He represents every aspect of the typical Brazilian stereotype. He was created during World War II events via the "Good Neighbor Policy" to enforce Brazil's cooperation. They have a strong faith and can be seen as stubborn in their old ways.José is based on a parrot spotted by Walt Disney during his Brazilian trip.
