Donald Duck

José Carioca

and

Panchito Pistoles
 
Jose = parrot
Panchito = chicken
Donald = duck

only panchito is mexican.

interesting article on wikipedia which cites a house of mouse cartoon as stating his ful actual name is Panchito Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero González III and also mentions there is no actual documented reference to pistoles but offers some thought as to how that name came about.
 

"Carioca" is someone from Rio de Janeiro, the most beautiful city of Brazil. (ok, you can tell where I live! lol)

Like "New Yorkers" are from New York, "Cariocas" are from Rio de Janeiro. :rotfl:

José is a common name around here(my fathers name by the way) , and a nickname for it is "Zé".. So here, we call him "Zé Carioca"..

Thanks for the info, Anelise! I'm not a Spanish speaker myself so I find that very interesting.
 
Is Panchito not a rooster (as opposed to a mere chicken), symbolizing Mexican ****-Fighting?
 
Brazilians speak Portugese actually.

and yes, rooster would be a gender specific term for a chicken. as opposed to hen.
 
I personally thought that the actual movie the Three Caballeros was pretty strange . . . I bought the Saludos Amigos/Three Caballeros Collection in May, but now I'm regretting my purchase. Probably the most weirdest Disney movie I've ever seen.

Yep, this is true. Here's a clip of the "cartoon" . . . it's not the best quality, but it's the only clip I could find. The song is also on the House of Mouse soundtrack.
