<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently helping a journalist who is
preparing a book for Disney Iberia about the history of the company and its
products in this region of the world.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course, in Portugal, the Disney character
names that are used in comics are the ones that were created in
Brazil.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, here is a question for the Brazilian members
of the list :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do any of the character names have a special
history or meaning? (for example in French : Dingo - Goofy means crazy, Picsou
- Scrooge means StealCoins, Geo Trouvetou - Geo Gearloose means Geo
FindAll,... some other names are also jokes on famous personalities). Is that
the case for any Brazilian names? Can you help us with that?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a million in advance !!</FONT></DIV>
