How the Seven Dwarfs Got Started
Snow White, which is also known as “Keeper of the Dwarfs” was originally published in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm. It was included in their first edition Grimm’s Fairy Tales collection.
The Grimms had a few different versions of the Snow white story và completed their final revision in 1854. In the original story, Snow trắng ate all the seven dwarfs food, drank some of their wine & tested all their beds until she fell asleep in one.
Ultimately the dwarfs found her và allowed her to lớn stay with them in exchange for her cleaning their house! Quite a different story from the Walt Disney version where she cleaned the house first, before the dwarfs came home!
There’s a few other differences between the 2 stories but the biggest one is that in the Brothers Grimm tale, there were dwarfs but none of them had names.

Renaming of the Seven Dwarfs
Walt knew that the movie would need khổng lồ center around the dwarfs in order for it to lớn work.The Witch was a villain, the Prince was only shown briefly và Snow white was sweet but lacked the charisma lớn hold an audience.
It needed to be the dwarfs và their great personalities that would make the movie magic! Walt decided to name each of the seven dwarfs by the personality each one possessed.
The long và tedious act of coming up with names ensued. Some potential names were: Burpy, Jumpy, Deafy, Dizzey, Hickey, Baldy, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Swift, Lazy, Puffy, Stuffy, Tubby, Shorty, và Wheezy.
This is just a few of the many names considered before they reached the final seven…Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy and Dopey.

Grumpy
Voiced by Pinto Colvig who was the original voice of Goofy, Grumpy is interestingly enough the second most popular dwarf, next khổng lồ Dopey. He’s grouchy, overbearing & has a short fuse but deep down he possesses a warm heart.

One of the best Grumpy scenes in the movie is when Snow trắng say, “Why Grumpy, you vày care” và tries to lớn kiss him. For a split second, his true heart shows through, but unfortunately he reverts back khổng lồ his ornery self almost immediately.

Dopey doesn’t ever speak in the film. He is the most loved of all the dwarfs & he gets his name because of his silly antics.
