In the original script taken from the book Snow White, does anyone know
what were the names of the Seven Dwarfs.

We all know their names in the great 1937 film, but I just want to check if they're the same. I realise there was a list of 50 names, but that's not it.

I'll bet Deco King knows!

From what I can find, the original story, that was adopted by the Brothers Grimm, the dwarfs were originally anything from robbers to miners. They had no names until later on.

In the original Grimms tale the dwarves had no names, the naming of the dwarves was first done by Walt Disney i believe

Isn't KL70 asking about the original script, not the story itself?

The names of the Seven Dwarfs (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy) were created for this production, chosen from a pool of about fifty potentials. The one name Disney always had in mind from the start was Grumpy, or something similar. Blabby, Jumpy, Shifty, and Snoopy were among those that were rejected, along with Awful, Baldy, Biggo-Ego, Biggy, Biggy-Wiggy, Burpy, Busy, Chesty, Cranky, Daffy, Dippy, Dirty, Dizzy, Doleful, Flabby, Gabby, Gloomy, Goopy, Graceful, Helpful, Hoppy, Hotsy, Hungrey, Jaunty, Lazy, Neurtsy, Nifty, Puffy, Sappy, Sneezy-Wheezy, Sniffy, Scrappy, Silly, Soulful, Strutty, Stuffy, Sleazy, Tearful, Thrifty, Tipsy, Titsy, Tubby, Weepy, Wistful, and Woeful.

Well, my votes would have gone to:Shifty, Burby, Dirty, Jaunty, Lazy, Nuertzy, Sleazy, and Tipsy. I have 8, and had a hard time narrowing them down. My guys definately weren't working in the mines all day. It's hard telling what they've been doing all day, but overall they're a really cheerful bunch.

I might've named Snow White "Hotsy". Is it any wonder that I don't work for Disney?

Yeah I'm asking from the original script, not the Grimm story.
I know there were 50 proposed names, but that'd be too much
to give in the answer.

Don't know what I would have called them, but you can call me Dancy. It's time to get out and dance. Clubs don't close for another 4.5 hours.

The person asking this trivia question said what's below, but I'm
unsure how to answer.


- When Walt received the SWATSD script in 1934, he then decided to come up with names for
the dwarves. So if he was the one who decided to name them, then came up with a list of 50
possible names, what does that suggest was in the script before he even did anything ?
The 50 names came after the original script.

Bearing in mind that I've not researched this at all, maybe it wasn't an actual script, per se, but a concept - first draft type of thing with no dialogue at all for the dwarfs yet. Maybe the dwarf dialogue only came about after the naming of them, when their personalities were known, but the basic idea for the whole movie was in place. - Or just very basic dialogue that was tweaked later after their personalities were added.

With so many books, etc., on the history of Disney, there has to be a definitive answer out there. Again, maybe Deco King knows, he said Snow White is his favorite, and he may be pretty knowledgable on the subject.

Hi. This may be of help. I've narrowed it down to two sets of names.

Dopey, Doc, Grumpy,Awful, jumpy, goody shifty.

OR

HOtsy, Jaunty, Jumpy, Nifty, Shifty, Bashful, Happy.

Can someone help with which set it is?

HallMitchell, thanks kindly.
Can you please present evidence (with links if at all possible)
for the info you've posted, in terms of where you got
it from. Thanks.

According to the book The Man Behind the Magic by Katherine and Richard Greene, Walt considered the names Shifty, Nifty, Woeful, Soulful, Flabby, Crabby, Awful, and Snoopy. Then after several months, the animators named them Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Seventh. Yes, poor Dopey was so hard to name that they called him Seventh for a while.

As for the original script, I don't know how that information could be found.
