for a little note: Jose's name is pronounced "Ho-zeh" as "j" often makes the "h" sound in spanish

[ThatFellowCoat]

@krx50 The character is Brazilian, though, so it would have a Portuguese sound. It's how Jose pronounces it in the features.

They really should bring jose back on tv to me he is way better than any other disney character.

Jose SHOULD come back. :) I love the fact that he's extremely popular in Brazil (after all, that's where he's from), but he should try to make more appearances in the US. I love him a lot. He's my all-time favorite exotic Disney character. Panchito is great as well.

And someone needs to get a BRAZILIAN voice actor for Jose. :( I liked the Gran Fiesta Tour, but we need more Jose. (And Panchito as well!)

Quem aparece no Three Caballeros é a irmã da Carmem Miranda, a Aurora Miranda.

E pena que não falou do José Oliveira, músico paulista que foi inspiração para criar o jeito do Zé Carioca, aliais, foi ele mesmo que dublou o Zé Carioca, ou melhor, José Carioca, nas versões brasileira, americana e mexicana de Three Caballeros.

E... as histórias em quadrinhos do Zé Carioca não são tão legais das histórias dos Thre Caballeros (okay, só li 2 até agora...mas são muito melhores)

@krx50 I'm a Brazilian, in Brazil we speak portuguese and in portuguese pronounciation the J will never have an "h" sound.

[brunoais]

@31operafan I could not agree more. José needs to come back same for Panchito. They are great and funny cartoon characters. Shame Disney placing them in the drawer and only sometimes recovering it from the dust. And I also hate that they give a Spanish voice to José!!! It's AWFUL.

They should bring back Josè Carioca. Just to let you know, you a quite a bit of mispronunciations. And, sorry if I was a little harsh on your Alvin and the Chipmunks review. I'm just like their #1 fan

[CrazySonic360]

@ThatFellowCoat they did pronounce it like "ho-zeh" in "house of mouse." did they forget he was brazilian?

[smogunner]

@krx50 Brazilians don't speak spanich, but portuguese. And it's pronounced "Jo-seh", not "Ho-seh". Greetings from Brazil

[xelmonitoxD]

@krx50 actually its a soft j like in french. portuguese and spanish are not pronounced the same.

[Veterinaria1987]

Actually Bahia is not a city. It's a state.

[crazyjorge2111]

@krx50 grow a brain, he's Brazilian. Hence the Portuguese language.
