The Cookie Carnival is an animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and originally released as part of the Silly Symphonies series on May 25, 1935. It is a Cinderella story involving a cookie girl who wishes to be queen at the cookie carnival, and a homage to the Atlantic City boardwalk parade and bathing beauty contest (what eventually became the Miss America pageant) of the 1920s and 1930s. In accordance with the claim in Film Superlist: 1894-1939, the film is in the public domain as its copyright was not renewed. The depiction of "Miss Licorice" was left in the film despite being a racial stereotype. The film release in 1935 was at a time when there was less public awareness
