Biography[]
Hans reads a book to the audience called Snow Yellow and the Seven Jellies, which revolves around a happy prince named Snow Yellow and his evil step-motherboard Queen Karen. The story begins with Snow Yellow gracing his loyal subjects with jewels. He then does a duet with his reflection in the rising well, which disrupts Queen Karen from her morning update. Queen Karen then smashes Snow Yellow's reflection with a glass slipper and orders him to clean the restrooms. She then notices that Snow Yellow is rounder than usual. Snow Yellow explains that his big boy edges have grown in, which leaves Queen Karen appalled. Queen Karen then consults the Magic Mirror on who the squarest of them all is. The Magic Mirror states that Snow Yellow is the squarest of them all, which angers Queen Karen. She then comes up with a plan to de-square the prince so that she will become the squarest of them all. She orders the Huntsman to to take Snow Yellow to the forest and cut off his corners, and threatens to cut off his own if he doesn't.
Snow Yellow happily prances in the forest and the Huntsman gives chase, but he is unable to keep up with him, so Snow Yellow offers the Huntsman a Krabby Patty to get his energy up. The Huntsman attempts to cut off Snow Yellow's corners, but after seeing the party, he cries and reveals Queen Karen's intentions to Snow Yellow. The Huntsman tells Snow Yellow to run to the forest and never return to the castle. The Huntsman also manages to pop the Dirty Bubble on his way back to the castle.
Snow Yellow runs through the spooky woods and comes across a small jellyfish shaped hive. The prince let's himself in and sees a dinner table with seven small chairs that each have a name on them. The prince decides to clean up the hive, with the hopes that whoever lives in it will allow him to stay, however, he gets stuck in the jelly stains and takes a nap.
Seven jellyfish, known as the Seven Jellies, are seen mining jelly in the hills. Their alarm clock then goes off, signaling the end of the shift for the day. The Seven Jellies take their cart full of fresh jelly back to their home in the forest, however, they get surprised when they see what they believe to be a monster in their kitchen.
The Seven Jellies initially attack Snow Yellow until he wakes up and greets them. Snow Yellow recognizes the Jellies by their respective names, Nutty, Krusty, Puffy, Dummy, Coty and Drippy. While Snow Yellow explains the dilemma to the Jellies, the Huntsman lies to Queen Karen about cutting off Snow Yellow's corners. When Queen Karen consults the Magic Mirror again, he tells her that the Huntsman was lying, and she then punishes the Huntsman by sending him into a pit full of alligators. The queen decides that she is gonna cut Snow Yellow's corners herself. She then disguises herself as a witch a makes a candy ball out of poisoned chum to feed the prince.
The next morning, the Seven Jellies head off to work, while Snow Yellow thanks them for letting him stay and offers to make them Jelly Patties for dinner. Queen Karen then arrives at the hive and offers the candy ball to Snow Yellow. Snow Yellow takes a bite of it and is sent to a dehydrated sleep, as Queen Karen celebrates, but then Dummy returns because he forgot his pickaxe, and he is terrified by what he thinks is an evil witch. Queen Karen gets so startled she accidentally unravels her disguise and reveals her true identity. Dummy then sends an electric distress signal to the other jellies, which prompts them to get back to the hive.
After discovering that Snow Yellow has dried out, the Seven Jellies decide to avenge him by pursuing Queen Karen. The queen uses her rocket boosters to race back to her castle. Upon seeing the commotion, the Magic Mirror decides to flee under his own feet. The jellies chase the queen all the way to the roof, where she attempts to squish them with a large stone, only for the jellies to then start unscrewing her. This causes her to fall apart and drop the stone, which then ends up crushing the Magic Mirror in the process. With the queen defeated, the jellies place what's left of Snow Yellow in a sponge dish so that he doesn't mold. They and the forest creatures cry over this, and they unintentionally revive the prince with their tears. Snow Yellow thanks the jellies for saving him and offers to let them stay at his place. Everyone, including both Queen Karen and the Magic Mirror, have a celebration and live happily ever after.
