THIS gleefully cavorting little creature is Walt Disney's newest character creation, Jose Carioca, the Brazilian parrot. He appears in the new technioolor feature "Saludos Amigos," which has had premieres in Brazil and the Argentine and is now to be released-in North America by RKO-Radio.
"Saludos Amigos" means "Hello, friends," and is a warm greeting from Walt Disney to our Latin-American neighbors. The film grew out of a trip which Disney and fifteen musicians, artists, and writers from his studio made to South America.
