Jafar Sings Carmen Miranda by Fernando Mendonça
Thanks, Uniblogger!


I dunno...this made me laugh out loud. There's a lot of dreadful Disney fanart out there, but this was too good.  Here is the incomparable Carmen in her "Slick Hare appearance:





Here is a clip from the 1943 Busby Berkeley Technicolor Musical, "The Gang's All Here" starring Carmen Miranda:

    It's rather sobering to contemplate that I've seen more parodies of Carmen Miranda (cartoons and otherwise) than I have actual performances (in fact, other than soundtrack appearances, I've only seen her in SCARED STIFF. You gotta love a woman who sings about enchiladas).

    But she's so...parodiable!

    And talented.

    And pretty.

    And enchiladas.

    That was an honest mistake, Jay. It's a little known fact, but the Miranda Ruling originally came to be after convicts in San Quentin Prison were polled, and it was determined that over 90% of criminals would go quietly if arrested by Carmen Miranda.

    (The number two choice was a tie between June Allyson and Vampira.)
