I love how the cookie girl thought she wasn't capable of even attending the carnival as a common person, while the cookie boy saw her as a beautiful queen from the very first moment.
Even more than 10 years after seeing this animated short I'm still absolutely devastated for the poor donut that broke his ass as it landed in the coffee
Such a sweet story. She didn’t want the crown, just to be in the parade. The guy was so sweet to drop everything and help her out and make her feel beautiful. Afterward, she stuck by the one person who liked her before the glow up. Awwwww....
What’s even more amazing is that she had a choice! Really goes to show that women were not considered object and in fact did have autonomy prior to 1960.
I love how there's no villain trying to steal the girl, or some jealous contestant resorting to cheating to steal the title. It's just fun, and that's OK.
I love how he genuinely wants to help her become beautiful with no ulterior motives and how she still retains her kindness without letting her makeover go to her head. It’s a nice simple love story
It's so sweet how the gingerbread man sees her, and instantly chooses to comfort her. He found her beautiful the moment he saw her, but because she wanted to be part of the parade, he didnt hesitate to make her even more beautiful. It's also pretty neat to see a male love interest knowing how to "dress up" a lady like that. Like dang, he knew how to make her hair look awesome and how to make a beautiful dress, AND he did her makeup. 10/10 king right there
@@jacquestube Girls have mutated since the 30's? Afaik it's the fashion that's changed. Most straight (usually) men can't tell the difference between lilac and periwinkle or a pencil skirt vs an A-line because "girly" things are beneath them. Let alone do makeup. Unless they work in the industry. How about saying what you really wanna say? "I hate women because none of them will sleep with me and I need to sour someone else's perfectly wholesome comment because I'm a bitter little incel". There. Buh-bye
@@RavenSutcliffe I don't think a lot of girls can tell the difference between lilac and periwinkle. Although I don't know if I'd make that comparison isn't Periwinkle more of a blue anyway? I'll say that both men and women have become far less interested in craftsmanship including makeup and clothing. But I would say that when it comes to actual Aesthetics if a man is interested in that sort of thing he's usually better at it. Because Aesthetics is almost more of a craft than it is in art. That's why all the best chefs are men. Don't get me wrong some women are amazing when it comes to makeup but 90% of the so-called cosmetologists are just following and duplicating someone else's tutorial. And who are we getting? If a man tried to dress up a woman he'd get accused of mansplaining or some shit
@@jacquestube All the best chefs are men because women don't get the same opportunities. Literally. Fashion and cooking and all of that are "women's stuff" until it's time to get rich on it. Go watch that episode where Gordon Ramsay got schooled by his mother lmao. Or if you can find it, any Julia Child episode. Same with fashion designers. There isn't a damn thing a gender is inherently "better at". Your explanation is ridiculous. Everyone has different talents and different things they want to put effort in. My father is a better cook than my mother by a mile, but he can't sew a button. My mother can make stuff like a full-length velvet coat from scratch, and her mother was a tailor that people literally fought over. She never became famous because she was quite literally shackled to the man she made the mistake of marrying, in a time and place where she couldn't have a bank account without his say-so and divorce was illegal. Also you don't understand what mansplaining is. And if a man wanted to dress up a woman like our gingerbread gentleman here and be appreciated for it, all he'd need to do is ask first, in a way that doesn't come off as patronizing. "Would you like me to dress you up?" Or, if the girl has expressed she doesn't know what to wear like our cookie gal, "I'm good at that! Do you want me to try?" He made sure she wanted to be dressed up. It's not that hard, mate. Gunnar Deatherage, who has a channel here, has a bunch of videos about surprising female friends or family members with stunning dresses or dream dresses, do you think they complain? Mansplaining is when a man offers an unsolicited, patronizing explanation to a woman, under the assumption, conscious or not, that she must be ignorant of the topic because she is a woman. Note that the tone and situation both are important. Nobody sane thinks the mere act of a man explaining something to a woman is inherently wrong, or women wouldn't ever sign up for college classes with male professors, for one example. The only correct thing you said is that periwinkle is bluer. It's a shade close to lilac but with a clear light blue undertone. P.S. design is art; putting the dress together is the craft part.
Lessons I’ve learned from this: 1. Helping someone will help them help you. 2. Go with the one who likes you before your glow up 3. This kingdom chooses its leaders via beauty pageants
@@peachannefgftcu8172 you have a point, but there is some truth in the fact that most leaders today are chosen in a popularity contest more than anything else.
I love how in Cookietown, the Queen decides who will be the King, and is the only one allowed to choose and appoint the man. How fitting she made the tramp King, as he was the only one to see her as beautiful before dressing her up.
My favorite example of this is the hall scene in the mad doctor Mickey episode. Seriously- look at how smooth that sequence is and it was ENTIRELY ink and paper work. Computers were barely a flicker dream then and they pulled it off amazingly.
I don't know if anyone else has ever felt this...maybe im high but watching this cartoon brought back a warmth that I haven't felt since I was a young kid first watching this… A kind of warm feeling deep in your body, a fuzzy glow that everything is gonna be all right and nothing negative can hurt you.
He must have had his reasons to do so for that potential candidate who would later on become the next chosen cookie queen of the Cookie Carnival, but at least this one’s somehow gotten very good at dolling up a pretty girl where he’s actually doing her a much-needed favor and doing more than just comforting this pretty cookie girl in need by making her much more publicly presentable which coincidentally (in the eyes of everyone at the Cookie Carnival) gets her immediately crowned as the queen of the Cookie carnival. The part where once they have their Cookie Queen they want her to have a Cookie King of her own, but ultimately she chooses none of potential candidates or anyone else for that matter throughout her newfound reign over the entire Cookie Carnival except the same Cookie boy who’s responsible for dressing her up in the first place. Now that is true gratitude worthy of a Cookie King repaid in full by their beloved Cookie Queen. 😉
A quick appreciation of how the queen is picked first and then she gets to pick a king, no forced weddings and only willing participants for the whole ordeal
This vid taught me that the key to happiness is beauty Once a flower in TAWOG said :"good looking people don't need a personality Personalities were invented by ugly people to make up of what they lack on the outside".
@@rohaankhan7523 you're really only half right. Happiness isn't just beauty, it's seeing the beauty in everything. Anything is beautiful to someone, it helps if you can see that too.
Miss Jello is such an underrated character. Such movements of hers are so fluid, graceful, and just utterly beautiful. A jello like her is such an awe inspiration for everyone. Everytime she jiggles, it just sets an impact in me like I've never felt before. I'm impressed.
The fact that this entire 8 minute short was done by hand all the way back in 1935 is absolutely incredible. Just judging by the confectionary character designs, the candy landscapes, and the various colours scattered throughout, a ton of amazing talent clearly went into this project.
I love old little movies like these 5 reasons why 1:they draw every movement 2:they go along with the music 3: the stories are so fascinating 4: they move so smoothly 5: it never gets old! I just love them =v=
@@victory_snow8220 the licorice themed cookie queen contestant is a very racist caricatures of a black person. Old Disney films are full of similar caricatures, since Walt Disney himself was very, very bigoted. It's sad, since the animation and whimsical tone is really beautiful, but the racism and homophobia of those old films can feel jarring
I know what you're saying. In fact,I found some hair bows on the curb on my street and used a big one for decorating my dress for my birthday. Isn't that cool and creative?😍😍😍💄👗👗🎀🎀🎀🎀
@@moozieb2516 Nah, I think they're the cookie king and queen the same way a pageant or prom king and queen becomes, not actual royalty, but by being the best looking. Remember, it's a cookie carnival, not a kingdom.
This is pretty cute story. The girl was feeling sad because she wasn't able to appear pretty or special. The dude not only gave her a fancy dress but made her appear to everyone as he saw her; a lovable queen. But the girl didn't forget him. She returned the kindness and had him become the king. And they lived happily ever after awwwwwwww! XD
Actually, the only reason why those judges chose her is because she was pretty, and they even asked to marry her even though they had only met what, like a minute ago? Or maybe it was because of a different reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this one is just wholesome just a guy helping a crying woman and that woman getting a confidence boost and winning what she thought was impossible then 2 what id assume are 2 peasants becoming king and queen.
I love how the Gingerbread Man concocts the whole getup for Sugar Cookie like if MacGyver had a background in fashion and makeup artistry, but with sweets. Not only that I love how she repays his kindness by making him king when he had played a huge part in making her queen in the first place. No pun intended, this whole cartoon is sweet.
@@Nervous101 into the spiderverse, seen it it's amazing but at the same time they said "wholesome and cozy" i mean spiderverse has awesome animation but it doesent have that SOFT feel, we have a kid who becomes spiderman and meets other spidermen and do cool shit, but what this commenter wants is something to feel cutesy and warmer than action
Candy Complex I think the cookie man must've been a former worker for clothes n' design. Why? It's because if you look at the cookie man's skills, he created an amazing dress for the cookie girl. From a poor lady to a princess, but how did the cookie man get these skills? Well, I got a guess. What if the cookie man's a former clothes designer? If so, then that means the cookie man must've used the skills he learned and became a master. Unfortunately, he was poor after the company he worked in closed its doors. Why? If you saw the cookie man's outfit, it looks like a cashless person would have. With the bag that he's carrying, we can find out that he's a traveler somewhere, so he can find somewhere to work. That's all I got.
Well, she said it was the judges, and they're the ones who said: "My advice would be marry me!" "No me!" "Mo meeeee!" "Perhaps you'd better marry all three!" The princes came in twos for some reason, but each pair said to choose ONE of them, so.
I remember watching this when I was little; like really little. I remember how I would just rewind the scene where the Cookie Man made the girl's dress because it is so frikin satysfying! And now... All I can think is: How did she turn human?
I took notice how she turned human and it happened when he used the marshmallow square like a powder on her face. Ignoring common sense in baking where you can’t make changes to an already baked cookie, you can mend and bend cookie dough in order to make cut edges soft, if that makes any sense. My guess is that in this world, cookie people can harden or soften themselves based on emotions. Like if your upset and crying your eyes out, you tend to tense up and your muscles grow ridged, like how a cookie hardens in an oven when baking. But as we calm down from crying, we relax and can adjust, becoming sorta like cookie dough in a way. So for her to go from gingerbread cookie to human-like, I think that was testament to how the cookie man was helping her feel better and more confident about herself. This is just me though.
Wow, I haven't seen this is a bit over thirty years and I still haven't forgotten this. I remember being amused/slightly disturbed at the donut losing his ass in the coffee.
I was already thinking "Oh no" when they showed Miss Coconut as an Inuit stereotype, then Miss Licorice showed up and I thought "ah, twice the racism, twice the horror. Oh old-timey animation, you never cease to surprise me."
Ah, I was looking for the idiot stretching to call the licorice racist. If you look, like ACTUALLY look, there's no difference between the shape of her features and anyone else, aside from BEING THE COLOR OF THE CANDY SHE'S MADE OF. Racist would've been giving her big red licorice lips. But they didn't. Like, yeah, it's one thing to point at stereotypes in cartoons where they actually exist. But doing so when they don't is ridiculous.
@@cavyqueen yeah, but usually it's a harem of women, not men, and the Disney being progressive part is about representation in media. Because if Disney showed it, it means that Disney is not opposed to the idea, because if Disney was opposed to it, investors would shut it down and not show it because they are afraid it would cause them to lose profits, because not everyone is used to the idea. Them pushing for the idea to be shown shows that either the investors didnt care, or were at least not opposed to it, or Disney did it despite them opposing it
Am i the only one who thinks that we‘ll never be able to fully recreate the wonderful feeling of old animations like this? The way everything is drawn is so special in my eyes and i dont know why
I think it's because it's miserable nowadays you're not allowed to enjoy anything there's always got to be a message. If this cartoon was made now there'd be some reference to racism or some shit
Is it just me or when I was a kid when the gingerbread man made her outfit it felt satisfying afff Edit:omg tysm for the likes guys I didn’t know I was gonna get so many likes 🥺

@@sibel6509 even elsa would have been in awe of this guy's dress-making skillz it's strange that he's a hobo when he could easily be a luxury tailor as a career
the closing scene is incredible. there's so much going on all at once; acrobats, people cheering, flashing colored lollipop lights, stilt-walkers, it's amazing how much little touch-ups and care was put in to make everything seem like you were really there
the fact i could witness this cartoon as a gen z kid because it was on the enchanted christmas princess dvd makes me grateful, it’s one of my favorites to this day. wholesome, cute, and makes me hungry/smile every time :)
Funny that the comic version told a completely different story. In it, the male candies had to take part in a sort of Olimpics competition, so one of them would marry the princess and become the king. The princess wanted to marry someone whom loved her and not the throne; so, she disguised herself as a poor cake seller. She made friends with the Gingerbread Man, after saved her from the Devil's Cake advances. In spite of Devil's phony tricks, Gingerbread ended up winning the competition, but he said he wanted to marry the cake seller (whom he decorated, like in this video) and not the princess. And she said happily: "I'm so happy, because I AM the princess! "
I think an extravagant animated short based on the comic is in order wouldn't you say? Btw you absolutely need to look up Ella Fitzgerald What Are You Doing New Years Eve remix with this, it is BRILLIANT, in a way just as cute if not even cuter than the full version of this animated short.
@@Sukamacaw Unluckily, the comic was translated in Portuguese, so I have no idea what's its original name. I supposed that it's Cookie Carnival, too. (sorry for answering so late, but I never was notified about the answers for my comments in this video)
