Princess and the Pauper

This 1939 Chevrolet-sponsored color animation follows Nicky Nome, a humble hero, who rescues a treasure-laden pauper from the Valley of Jewels using a magic carpet that transforms into a gleaming Chevrolet. Aimed at promoting Chevy’s appeal, it features an Islamic-style castle, evil moguls, and a yo-yo-playing king, blending fairy-tale whimsy with a Depression-era twist: honest citizens can win royalty with the right car. Bells ring, carpets fly, and treasure dazzles in this quirky tale.
