History WesternAnimation / SaludosAmigos

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: José's Green and Yellow design implements the colours of the Brazilian flag.

Released in [[TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1942 (in Brazil, released in 1943 in the States)]], '''''SaludosAmigos''''' (or "Hello Friends") is the 6th Movie in the DisneyAnimatedCanon.

* HoYay: Joe sure is enthusiastic [[http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/Kabikku/Hisdreamshavebeenfulfilled.png about]] [[http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/Kabikku/OW.png meeting]] [[http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/Kabikku/Whatafangirl.png Donald...]]

* OverlyLongGag: José rambles on in Portuguese for almost 40 seconds. Donald is up to his neck in Portuguese-English dictionaries trying to understand, when José simply says "Or as you Americans say: 'Let's go see the town'". Which he really is saying, he's just being a bit more excited about it in Portuguese and listing off all the individual places in Rio that they should go see.

* TheDanza: José's voice actor is named José Oliveira.

* TheDanza: José's voice actor is named José Oliviera.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Averted HARD. José Carioca has a very convincing Brazillian accent; most likely because he is voiced by a native Brazillian, José Olivieira.

** Did you know, after he finish hugging Donald, he says "Welcome, my dear"? [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming That's so cute!]]

In a time during World War II, Disney was sent to [[LatinLand South America]] to create a movie as a gesture of good will (read up on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Neighbor_policy The Good Neighbor Policy]] for more information on that). The plan was initially to simply release a series of shorts, but when it was worried that a specific short would only be popular in the country it was about, it was decided to package several together in a feature film. The end result is SaludosAmigos, a movie split apart into 4 distinct shorts:

The film went over quite well in Latin America (although a few Chileans felt they got the short end of the stick, as ''Pedro'' really only focuses on the fact that Chile is next to Argentina) which led to Walt creating a follow-up film, ''TheThreeCaballeros''.

* NotBotheringWithTheAccent: Averted HARD. José Carioca has a very convincing Brazillian accent; most likely because he is voiced by a native Brazillian, José Olivieira.

* PaintingTheFourthWall: Both of the last two segments do a bit of this. Several of the scene transitions in El Gaucho Goofy push around the characters, while Aquarela do Brasil is a bit more literal. Donald even takes some of the paint off of José as he's being drawn and uses it to draw his own picture, causing the artist to draw a pool behind Donald and knock him into it.

*** While Joe Carioca is talking to Donald after meeting him, since Donald picks up the first book he is stating various names of untranslatable town names so if you don't understand, no problem, it's just a list of names.
*** Note: Don't forget to be polite. "Muito obrigado"="Thank you very much" in which "obrigado"="thank you"
*** Did you know, after he finish hugging Donald, he says "Welcome, my dear"? That's so cute!

** I have some notes to add to that as a native portuguese:

During the trip, Disney and his artists apparently came up with about 12 unused ideas for shorts about Latin America. One of them would later become, ''Blame it on the Samba'', a short used for the movie MelodyTime.

This film provides examples of:

* ''El Gaucho Goofy'' compares the American Cowboy with the South American Gaucho. Goofy is put into the role of Goucho, and he learns the basics. Being Goofy, hilarity ensures in the process.

* ''El Gaucho Goofy'' compares the American Cowboy with the South American Gaucho. Goofy is put into the role of Goucho, and he learns the basics. Being Goofy, HilarityEnsues in the process.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While José appeared in a few ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'' over here in the states before becoming mostly forgotten about, he got his own (and currently ongoing) comic book series over in Brazil (where his given name is shortened to "Zé", which is the most common diminutive form of "José").

* BilingualDialogue: José speaks fluent Portuguese.
** Should I note that this is not the native portuguese. This is brazilian (pt-br). It's somewhat portuguese(pt--pt) is to brazilian(pt-br) as English(en-GB) is to American(en-US)

*** A Portuguese-English dictionary is quite useless and tricky because of the lingual differences (I'll just suppose he has a Brazilian-english dictionary)

** Should I note that this is not the native portuguese. This is brazilian (pt-br). It's somewhat portuguese(pt--pt) is to brazilian(pt-br) as English(en-GB) is to American(en-AM)

*** While he is talking to Donald (After meeting him) since he picks up the first book he states various names of untranslatable town names.

* ''Aquarela do Brasil'' (Watercolour of Brazil) features the scenery of Brazil, as they are painted in by an artist in watercolour. The film features DonaldDuck, and introduces the parrot José Carioca (Or Joe Carioca, as the Narrator and Donald call him), from Rio de Janeiro. José shows Donald around town, and teaches him about Samba.

Released in 1942 (in Brazil, released in 1943 in the States), SaludosAmigos (or "Hello Friends") is the 6th Movie in the DisneyAnimatedCanon.

* MeaningfulName: "Carioca" is a term that can be used to describe people from Rio De Janeiro, of which José is.
