The Princess and the Pauper

The film

The Princess and the Pauper is a 1939 Technicolor cartoon sponsored film by Chevrolet. It features Nicky Nome, who also appeared in the previous Chevrolet films A Coach for Cinderella and A Ride for Cinderella. The Princess and the Pauper is in the public domain and runs for approximately ten minutes. The depiction of several of the characters may be viewed as racist in its exaggeration.[1]

Plot summary

A king offers his daughter's hand in marriage to the wealthiest suitor in the kingdom. She is wooed by the despicable wizard Ali Kazam, but falls for a pauper boy with a yo-yo. The boy is kicked out of the palace by the king's men, whereupon the diminutive magical creature Nicky Nome appears to help him, giving him a flying carpet to travel to a valley of jewels. When Ali Kazam attacks on a vulture, Nicky gradually transforms the carpet into a Chevrolet motor car.
