Disney asked Débora Islas to draw Zé Carioca for his 80th birthday

Zé Carioca

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of Zé Carioca, Disney ask Débora Islas to illustrate the popular parrot.

The Brazilian character, Zé Carioca, was created by Walt Disney after his inspiring trip through South America in 1941, and in 2022, his debut is celebrated with art by Brazilian illustrators.

Débora and 5 other artists were invited to create unique versions of the character, with the artwork used as part of the brand's guide and the possibility of further developments through licensed products.
