Zé Carioca ready to print in .STL José Zé Carioca is a cartoon anthropomorphic parrot created by the Walt Disney Company. José was introduced in the 1942 movie Saludos Amigos as a friend of Donald Duck, described by Time as a dapper Brazilian parrot, who is as superior to Donald Duck as the Duck was to Mickey Mouse. He returned in the 1944 film The Three Caballeros along with Donald and a Mexican rooster named Panchito Pistoles. José is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (thus the name Carioca, which is a term used for a person born in Rio de Janeiro).
