DonJosé

DonJosé is the slash ship between Donald Duck and José Carioca from The Three Caballeros and DuckTales fandoms.

Saludos Amigos
José makes his debut in the fourth and last segment of the movie, "Aquarella do Brasil". After an artist starts painting a watercolor picture, a carnivorous flower eats a bee, only to suddenly turn into Donald Duck, who is understandably confused about where he is. As Donald picks a fight with the artist, the artist is in the process of drawing a design of a dapper parrot to life. Donald is curious about his new companion and stops fighting. As soon as the parrot is finished being drawn, he starts dancing in front of Donald. He gives Donald his card, but Donald struggles to read it. Despite an initial failure to understand each other, José is under the impression that Donald speaks Portuguese, he makes it clear that he wants to see Donald's card as well. He fishes a card that looks like the Ace of Spades out of his pocket, but as José shows surprise over that, Donald turns the card and it indeed functions as an identity card, having Donald's name and region written on the back. As soon as José reads "Donald Duck", he turns out to be a fan of his, immitating one of his famous tantrums. He then approaches Donald to embrace him. As José gives Donald an entire monologue in Portuguese, Donald struggles with understanding him even more and pulls out an entire library of dictionairies to make an attempt. But then José reveals that he can speak English perfectly, implying that he was just messing with Donald. Asking José what they shall do now, José answers that he will show Donald the "Land of the Samba". When Donald asks what "Samba" means, José demonstrates by performing a dance and turning his parasol into a makeshift flute. Taking Donald's hat, he turn into an accordion, while Donald fails to play José's parasol flute. While walking down some freshly drawn stairs with Donald, José uses his parasol as a guitar. Though Donald shows some annoyance at the things happening around him, he soon gives in to the rhythm and dancing alongside José while walking down the streets. Sitting down at a freshly drawn bar, José shares a bottle of Cachaça with him. Though Donald is happy about the gesture, the drink is a bit much for him and he pukes a bit of fire, which José promptly uses to light his cigar. As Donald starts to hiccup, José uses a paper box to turn it into a Samba beat.

Fanon
Though not as popular as DonPanJosé or PanJosé, DonJosé has a dedicated number of fans because they were the two Caballeros who knew each other the longest. It is also the only ship for Saludos Amigos, though the movie is often considered a sort-of prequel to The Three Caballeros.

Trivia

 * Donald always refers to José as "Joe", which is the English equivalent. This is most likely a reference to him being conceptualized as "Joe Carioca".
