Shirley Reid's Betty Boop Imitation: |
Cookie Queen is a Disney character that appears in the 1935 animated short Cookie Carnival. She was loosely based on Grimms' Fairy Tales' famous adaption of "Cinderella" and was created by Grim Natwick. She debuts as a poor, blue-eyed, redheaded gingerbread "Sugar Cookie Girl" who lives in CookieTown.
Her voice was provided by former radio "Boop-Oop-a-Doop" girl Shirley Reid.
Walt Disney of Walt Disney Studios asked Natwick to create a concept and design for his cartoon, Cookie Carnival according to Natwick was inspired by Betty Boop in Poor Cinderella, prior to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs[3] which at as of 1934 was also being developed.
When a hobo cookie noticed her crying, she started asking him why. Telling him that she didn't have a nice frock to wear, she was unable to attend the cookie procession. With the promise that she will be the sweetest of all, the Hobo cookie decides to help her right away and persuades her to give her a makeover.
Her curly auburn-red hair was first dyed into blonde whipped cream using golden taffy, and then it was styled into a lengthy updo. Then he used a cupcake mold to build a dress. He decorated it with creams that were blue, purple, and white, added heart-shaped candies to the blue portion of the dress, and finished it off with a gorgeous long purple ribbon.
He added some makeup to her with a red heart-shaped lip color and power on her cheeks to finish the makeover.
She chooses to sneak at the conclusion of the makeover because she loves the outcome so much and wants to march in the carnival parade with the hobo cookie. Disappointed with the other submissions, the judges crown her the Cookie Queen and take her to the palace, dividing her from the homeless cookie who had assisted her.
She has no choice but to shake her head and giggle at every candidate when it comes time to choose a king.
The hobo cookie and the soldiers trying to stop him interrupt the judges while they are making their own proposals because they have no other suitors to present.
When she notices her beloved being attacked, she orders her guards not to hurt their king and declares him to be her king at that same time. They both try to share a passionate kiss in their thrones at the end of the cartoon, but their love is so strong that the lollypop they were using to cover it melts.
