Donald Duck visiting Copacabana Beach / Donald em Copacabana

This amazing Disney classic features Donald Duck visiting Copacabana Beach, in Brazil, along with his friend "Joe Carioca" (José Carioca / Zé Carioca -- in Portuguese) who is a Brazilian character created by Walt Disney. 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).
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 neighbor countries. It's worth seeing Donald having some fun in Brazil, anyway... Enjoy

Politicagem a parte, vale conferir Donald visitando o Rio de Janeiro.

God bless Brazil!

We fought fascism together back in WWII. Not surprisingly, this pro-Brazil cartoon was first made back in 1944 when Brazilians and Americans were together fighting fascism in Italy. That's when Brazil could have easily sat the war out leasing air bases, collecting the checks, and letting the US and British do the dirty work of patroling the central Atlantic.

On a lighter note, thanks for the post, it's a darling. As a Brazilian and as an American, I love it. Cheers!

People, Let's remember that this was made in either 1942 or 44. There was no thought of globalization or accurate portrail of a country or ethinicity by anyone. Americans, Europeans, Nazis or anyone were worried or concerned about it. Of course Brazil wasn't a jungle with flaming Flamingoes (which can be found in parts of South America), but if you didin't know any better what you you assume?

I love Brasil and the welcoming spirit of the nation and the poeple and I think this capture both.

É verdade que o Donald foi assaltado no rio ?

[PaulistaSensato]

Eu sempre choro quando vejo esse filme, acho que é saudade de um Rio que infelizmente não tive a sorte de viver. Quem mora na cidade vai saber do que eu falo. Sortudos foram aqueles que viveram essa época, onde se tinha paz pra andar pelas ruas, sentar num bar tomar uma boa birita, jogar conversa fora, ouvir uma boa roda de samba.
