History WesternAnimation / SnowWhite1933

* AmbiguousSituation: When the Queen asks the mirror who's the fairest in the land one last time, it tells her that she is... but right after that, the mirror blows a raspberry at her and ''explodes into smoke'', which turns Bimbo and Koko back to normal, but transforms her into a bizarre dragon-like creature. Maybe the mirror decided to give her [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine A Taste Of Her Own Medicine]] after witnessing what she did to Koko and Bimbo?

* ForcedTransformation:
** The Queen uses her mirror to turn Koko into some sort of ghost-creature, then to freeze him, and turns Bimbo into a...a cactus-thing and freezes him.
** The Mirror turns the Queen into a dragon in the end.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The BigBad of the short is a vain queen obsessed with being "the fairest in the land".

* RandomEventsPlot: Despite hitting some of the usual story beats, this a ''very'' loose adaptation of the fairy tale. The characters go all over the place and are transformed into monsters, with [[spoiler:the Queen herself getting transformed into a dragon by her own mirror]], for no real reason. The Queen's head also randomly turns into a frying pan roasting eggs at one point. And it wasn't [[spoiler: the mirror's doing, either.]] Her head just... turned into a frying pan with eggs on it.

* RandomEventsPlot: People tend to randomly turn into dragons and/or a frying pan roasting eggs.

* VillainousBreakdown: After [[spoiler:her MeaninglessVillainVictory that causes her to be turned into an ugly dragon immediately after being declared the fairest in the land,]] the Queen chases Betty, Bimbo, and Koko, seemingly trying to eat them. This may be justified because, [[spoiler:since she was turned into a dragon that doesn't speak or show any other signs of sentience, she may have ''lost'' her sentience]]

!!Tropes Used In This Short:

* BalefulPolymorph:
** The Queen uses her mirror to turn Koko into some sort of ghost-creature, then to freeze him, and turns Bimbo into a...a cactus-thing and freezes him.
** The Mirror turns the Queen into a dragon in the end.

* TheDogBitesBack: One interpretation of the ending is that the mirror got sick of the Queen haranguing him and using its powers for evil purposes, choosing to give her a form that matched her evil and to reverse the BalefulPolymorph she put on Bimbo and Koko.

* CreepyJazzMusic: When Snow White (Betty Boop) is killed by the witch, Calloway (as Koko the Clown) sings a haunting rendition of "Saint James Infirmary", while the witch transforms Koko into a weird ghost-like monster.

* NotQuiteDead: Implied. In the original fairy tale, Snow White is killed by the Queen's poison apple. In this version, she falls into an icy lake that traps her in a coffin-shaped block of ice. The dwarves, Koko, and Bimbo react as if she's dead, but Betty frequently opens and shuts her eyes while inside, implying that [[HarmlessFreezing she's actually fine]]. [[spoiler:The Magic Mirror's spell near the end erases the ice block, freeing Betty, although it's unclear if the spell had to "revive" her or not.]]

* MeaninglessVillainVictory: The Queen successfully gets rid of Betty, Koko, and Bimbo, and her magic mirror tells her that she, the Queen, is now the fairest in the land. [[spoiler:The mirror then explodes, casting a spell that revives the heroes and turns the Queen into a dragon. There's nothing left for the Queen to do but [[VillainousBreakdown chase the heroes furiously]].]]

* NotQuiteDead: Implied

* {{Rotoscoping}}: Koko's dancing was accomplished by rotosoping Creator/CabCalloway singing and dancing.

* PublicDomainAnimation

* {{Rotoscoping}}: Used to animate Koko.

* BalefulPolyMorph:

This [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1933]] WesternAnimation/BettyBoop short is a very, ''very'' loose adaptation of [[Literature/SnowWhite the original tale of Snow White]], not to be confused with [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarves the Disney version]]. During wintertime, Betty visits her step-mother the queen, with the two guards WesternAnimation/KokoTheClown and Bimbo the Dog being instantly smitten by her. After the queen is told by her MagicMirror that Betty is the fairest in the land, she orders her beheaded. However, Bimbo and Koko are too infatuated to comply with this order and fall down the hole that was intended for her-as Betty escapes and gets frozen in an ice block in the process, with the seven dwarfs carrying her away. The rest of the short is centered around Koko and Bimbo as they try to save her.

On a side note, this short was something of a one man show-the only animator on this short was dedicated Fleischer employee Roland "Doc" Crandall, as a reward for his years of hard work at the studio. It took him only six months to complete, with very little help from assistant animators and inbetweeners.

* InNameOnly: The short starts out pretty close to the Grimms fairy tale, but around the middle, it drifts off so far, it's advised to consider this cartoon strictly as a Betty Boop short (even the poisoned apple is nowhere to be seen.)
