TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 2, 2009
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Over the weekend, I watched one of my favorite Disney movies
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The dwarfs just make me
laugh no matter how many times I watch that movie. It made
me wonder how the idea for the dwarves came about, and if
there was a reason behind their names. Here are a few fun
facts I dug up...
Enjoy!

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "The seven dwarfs, we knew, were ?naturals' for the
medium of our pictures. In them we could instill boundless
humor, not only as to their physical appearances, but in
their mannerisms, personalities, voices and actions."
HINT: (1901-1966), American film producer, director,
screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur,

RANDOM TIDBITS
Individually, each dwarf represents a type of human
personality generally found in most offices, schools or
neighborhoods.
***
Other names considered for the dwarfs early on included:
Wheezy, Puffy, Stuffy, Biggo-Ego, Jumpy, Baldy, Nifty,
Gabby, Stubby and Burby.
***
Six of the dwarfs have eyebrows fashioned after Walt
Disney's own expressive eyebrows as they fascinated every-
one who ever sat in story meetings with him. Early on, the
artists agreed on this resemblance however, Happy is the
only one who is different as his eyebrows are white and
bushy.

ripening, aging and rotting. Forever Bags absorb and remove this
damaging gas, dramatically extending the life of fruits,

It was determined early on that the Dwarfs would carry picks
rather than shovels or sacks as they make their way to and
from the Diamond mine. Dopey was initially designated to
carry a lamp swinging from his pick, but in the end, it is
Doc leading the way with his lantern.
***
Artists were offered $5.00 - a hefty sum by late 1930's
standards -- for every gag featuring the Dwarfs that made
it into the final film.
***
The Seven Dwarfs appeared together in several commercial
shorts after the release of Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, including: The Standard Parade - 1939, The Seven
Wise Dwarfs - 1941, All Together - 1942 and, The Winged
Scourge - 1943.
