José Carioca is a Disney cartoon character drawn as an anthropomorphized parrot from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (thus "Carioca", a term which refers to a person born there). José was created in 1942 for the movie Saludos Amigos
as a friend of Donald Duck. A sequence followed in 1943 with The Three Caballeros
.

He also appeared in Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse. José is quite popular in Brazil, appearing alongside Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in their Disney Comics. In Brazil he's known as Zé Carioca ("Zé" being a familiar form for Portuguese name "José", as "Joe" is a familiar form for English name "Joseph"). In Brazil, he had his own comics. Some of his friends are Panchito Pistoles, the Aracuan Bird, Nestor and Pedro.

José made a cameo appearance in "Alice in Wonderland" where he was one of the jurors present at the Red Queen's trial of Alice.

The creation of a Brazilian animated character during the Second World War was part of a strategy called "Good Neighbor Policy" headed by the United States government to improve relations and gather support amongst its neighbour countries.
