She further demands that the huntsman return with Snow White's heart in a jeweled box as proof of the deed. However, the Huntsman cannot bring himself to kill Snow White. He tearfully begs for her forgiveness, revealing the Queen wants her dead and urges her to flee into the woods and never look back. Lost and frightened, the princess is befriended by woodland creatures who lead her to a cottage deep in the woods. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes the cottage is the untidy home of seven orphaned children. In reality, the cottage belongs to seven adult dwarfs—named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey—who work in a nearby mine.

Walt Disney had suggested from the beginning that each of the dwarfs, whose names and personalities are not stated in the original fairy tale, could have individual personalities. The dwarfs names were chosen from a pool of about fifty potentials, including Jumpy, Deafy, Dizzey, Hickey, Wheezy, Baldy, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Swift, Lazy, Puffy, Stuffy, Tubby, Shorty, and Burpy. The seven finalists were chosen through a process of elimination. The leader of the dwarfs, required to be pompous, self-important and bumbling, was named Doc; others were named for their distinguishing character traits. At the end of the October story meetings, however, only Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy and Happy of the final seven were named; at this point, Sneezy and Dopey were replaced by 'Jumpy' and an unnamed seventh dwarf.

Seven Dwarves (disambiguation) | Introduction
There were seven dwarfs in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale "Snow White". Walt Disney's 1937 film based on the story, is one of the most well-known adaptation today. Most dwarfs in modern fiction closely follow those of J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings", where the dwarves (Tolkien's spelling) were distinguished from elves. Most modern fantasy media have continued this distinction, beginning with TSR's "Dungeons and Dragons". "Dungeons and Dragons" calls the dwarfs "dwarves" and the dark dwarves "duergar". They are also present in C. S. Lewis's "The Chronicles Of Narnia", in both the books and the film adaptations.

Some time ago she visited the dwarves telling them her husband is missing. She wanted to find a new man and this could be even a dwarf. There was one main condition: the man must have a successful career. Not much later all dwarves left except Bubi.

In the Grey-elvish or Sindarin the Dwarves were called "Naugrim" ("Stunted People"), "Gonnhirrim" ("Stone-lords"), and "Dornhoth" ("Thrawn Folk"), and "Hadhodrim". In Quenya they were the "Casári". The Dwarves called themselves "Khazâd" in their own language, Khuzdul. In reality, Tolkien took the names of twelve of the thirteen dwarves he used in "The Hobbit" (and the wizard Gandalf's name) from the Old Norse "Völuspá". When he came to "The Lord of the Rings", where he had a proper language for the Dwarves, he was obliged to pretend, in the essay "Of Dwarves and Men", that the Old Norse names were translations from Khuzdul, just as the English spoken by the Dwarves to Men and Hobbits was a translation from Westron.

The original editor of "The Hobbit" "corrected" Tolkien's plural "dwarves" to "dwarfs", as did the editor of the Puffin paperback edition of "The Hobbit". According to Tolkien, the "real 'historical' plural" of "dwarf" is "dwarrows" or "dwerrows". He referred to "dwarves" as "a piece of private bad grammar". In Appendix F of "The Lord of the Rings" it is explained that if we still spoke of "dwarves" regularly, English might have retained a special plural for the word "dwarf" as with "goose"—"geese". Despite Tolkien's fondness for it, the form "dwarrow" only appears in his writing as "Dwarrowdelf" ("Dwarf-digging"), a name for Moria.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and originally released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length cel animated feature film and the earliest Disney animated feature film. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed the film's individual sequences.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film) | Introduction
In the appendix on "Durin's Folk" in "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien describes dwarves: The "J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia" considers Tolkien's use of the adjective "thrawn", noting its similarity with "Þráinn", a noun meaning "obstinate person". It is also a name found in the Norse list of Dwarf-names, the "Dvergatal" in the "Völuspá", and the name, as Thráin, of two of Thorin's ancestors. It suggests this may have been a philological joke on Tolkien's part. Dwarves were long-lived, with a lifespan of some 250 years. They breed slowly, for no more than a third of them are female, and not all marry.

Along with a focus on the characterizations and comedic possibilities of the dwarfs, Creedon's eighteen-page outline of the story written from the October meetings, featured a continuous flow of gags as well as the Queen's attempt to kill Snow White with a poisoned comb, an element taken from the Grimms' original story. After persuading Snow White to use the comb, the disguised Queen would have escaped alive, but the dwarfs would have arrived in time to remove it. After the failure of the comb, the Queen was to have the Prince captured and taken to her dungeon, where she would have come to him (story sketches show this event both with the Queen and the Witch) and used magic to bring the dungeon's skeletons to life, making them dance for him and identifying one skeleton as "Prince Oswald", an example of the more humorous atmosphere of this original story treatment.

Tolkien names only one female, Dís, the sister of Thorin Oakenshield. They are still considered children in their twenties, as Thorin was at age 24; and as "striplings" in their thirties, as Dáin Ironfoot was aged 32. They had children starting in their nineties. The Dwarves are described as "the most redoubtable warriors of all the Speaking Peoples" - a warlike race who fought fiercely against their enemies, including other Dwarves. Highly skilled in the making of weapons and armour, their main weapon was the battle axe, but they also used bows, swords, shields and mattocks, and wore armour.
Dwarf (Middle-earth) | Characteristics
The concept of the dwarf comes from Norse and Teutonic mythology. In particular, the dwarves in the Germanic story "The Ring of the Nibelungen" and the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rumpelstiltskin" have been called "ancestors" of "Dungeons & Dragons" dwarves. Along with giants, dwarves were one of the first types of non-humans to be introduced into the "Chainmail" game, the forebear of "D&D", when miniature figures of varying sizes were used together in the same wargame. The dwarf first appears as a player character class in the original 1974 edition of "Dungeons & Dragons", with a design that is strongly influenced by the dwarves of Poul Anderson's 1961 novel "Three Hearts and Three Lions".

The Seventh Dwarf | Introduction
On August 9, 1934, twenty-one pages of notes—entitled "Snowwhite suggestions"—were compiled by staff writer Richard Creedon, suggesting the principal characters, as well as situations and 'gags' for the story. As Disney had stated at the very beginning of the project, the main attraction of the story for him was the Seven Dwarfs, and their possibilities for "screwiness" and "gags"; the three story meetings held in October and attended by Disney, Creedon, Larry Morey, Albert Hurter, Ted Sears and Pinto Colvig were dominated by such subjects. At this point, Disney felt that the story should begin with Snow White's discovery of the Cottage of the Seven Dwarfs.

He, therefore, would not have arrived in time to save her from the Queen but would have been able to save her with love's first kiss. This plot was not used in the final film, though many sketches of the scene in the dungeon were made by Ferdinand Hovarth. Other examples of the more comical nature of the story at this point include suggestions for a "fat, batty, cartoon type, self-satisfied" Queen. The Prince was also more of a clown, and was to serenade Snow White in a more comical fashion. Walt Disney encouraged all staff at the studio to contribute to the story, offering five dollars for every 'gag'; such gags included the dwarfs' noses popping over the foot of the bed when they first meet Snow White.

Hill dwarves consist of a single clan called the Neidar. They are very similar to the mountain dwarves but are slightly more forthcoming towards other races and cultures. "Flint Fireforge", one of the Heroes of the Lance, is a Neidar. Mountain dwarves consist of several clans, two of these being the Hylar and the Daewar clans. Gully dwarves, or Aghar ("the Anguished") are thought to be the offspring of gnomes and dwarves. Gully dwarves are first referred to in the "Dragonlance Chronicles", by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, as a "miserable lot." Several clans live together, following the rule of their chieftains or one particular powerful leader.

Quite a bit of the short consists of reused work from the 1937 "Snow White" film. The film short, for example, typically shows Dopey doing things in a clumsy, belated and confused fashion for slapstick effect (as in the original film).
7 Wise Dwarfs | Introduction
When writing "The Hobbit" in the early 1930s Tolkien gave the name "Gandalf" to the leader of the Dwarves, the character later called Thorin Oakenshield. The name is taken from the same source as all the other Dwarf names (save Balin) in "The Hobbit": the "" in the "Völuspá". The Old Norse name ' incorporates the words ' meaning "wand", "staff" or (especially in compounds) "magic" and "" "elf". The name "Gandalf" is found in at least one more place in Norse myth, in the semi-historical Heimskringla, which briefly describes Gandalf Alfgeirsson, a legendary Norse king from eastern Norway and rival of Halfdan the Black.

The dwarf Bubi spies on her, but is attacked by a bear, who turns out to be the disguised dwarf Tschakko. As looking at a woman is forbidden by the dwarves, he is punished by having squirrels tickle his feet. The dwarves have a meeting which is interrupted by "giant" Ralphie. He wants to become a member of "the seven dwarves", but this is impossible as "there are already seven dwarves". The dwarves sent Ralphie away and decide to blow up the bridge so women won't be able to enter the forest in the future.

It is believed that the change to a stepmother in later editions was to tone down the story for children. A popular version of Snow White is the 1937 American animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by Walt Disney. Disney's variation of Snow White gave the dwarfs names and included a singing Snow White. The Disney film also is the only version in which Snow White and her prince meet before she bites the apple; in fact, it is this meeting that sets the plot in motion. Instead of her lungs and liver, as written in the original, the huntsman is asked by the queen to bring back Snow White's heart.

In the fantasy of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Dwarves are a race inhabiting Middle-earth, the central continent of Earth in an imagined mythological past. They are based on the dwarfs of Germanic myths: small humanoids that dwell in mountains, associated with mining, metallurgy, blacksmithing and jewellery. They appear in his books "The Hobbit" (1937), "The Lord of the Rings" (1954–55), the posthumously published "The Silmarillion" (1977), "Unfinished Tales" (1980), and "The History of Middle-earth" series (1983–96), the last three edited by his son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien.
Dwarf (Middle-earth) | Introduction
The Good Queen eventually gives birth to a daughter, whom she names Snow White, but dies shortly after her child is born. Some years later, the king marries again. However, the new queen (Diana Rigg) is evil and vain and jealous of Snow White (Nicola Stapleton). When her magic mirror tells her that Snow White is now the fairest in the land, the Evil Queen orders a huntsman (Amnon Meskin) to take Snow White into the forest and kill her, and to bring back her liver as proof of her death. During a hunting trip, the huntsman succeeds in taking Snow White away from her father, but Snow White, realizing her stepmother's plan to destroy her, manages to escape into the forest where she finds a cottage belonging to seven kindly dwarfs - Iddy, Biddy, Kiddy, Diddy, Fiddy, Giddy and Liddy - who allow her to stay with them.

Snow White and the Huntsman | Prequel/sequel
After many years, the Queen's Magic Mirror confirms Snow White as being the "fairest of them all", which causes the Queen to cast Snow White out and send a huntsman to kill her. But when he is unable to bring himself to do so, the huntsman helps Snow White escape into the forest. Snow White stumbles upon the home of the Seven Dwarfs, who happily aid her. The Queen discovers that Snow White has survived, so she uses magic to disguise herself as an old hag and creates a poisoned apple that will put anyone who eats it into a “Sleeping Death" from which only the kiss of true love will revive.

Snow-White and Rose-Red | Introduction
In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film "The Lord of the Rings", the part of the Dwarf Gimli was voiced by David Buck. In Peter Jackson's live action adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy, Gimli's character is from time to time used as comic relief, whether with jokes about his height or his rivalry with Legolas. Gimli is played by John Rhys-Davies, who portrayed the character as having a Scottish accent. In Iron Crown Enterprises' "Middle-earth Role Playing" (1986) Dwarven player-characters receive statistical bonuses to Strength and Constitution, and subtractions from Presence, Agility and Intelligence. Seven "Dwarven Kindreds", named after each of the founding fathers—Durin, Bávor, Dwálin, Thrár, Druin, Thelór and Bárin—are given in "The Lords of Middle-earth—Volume III" (1989).

To cover the prince's escape, Red throws off her cloak under the full moon, which lets her transform into the wolf. Back in the cottage, Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) is humming "With a Smile and a Song," seemingly content, until she spots a bluebird, which she swats violently. Grumpy (Lee Arenberg) enters to ask her to come to dinner, but it turns out that the dwarves have arranged an intervention with the help of Jiminy Cricket (Raphael Sbarge). They explain to Snow that she has been angry and unfriendly since she drank the amnesia potion.

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times "felt that had ""Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" ... been primarily about Snow White, it might have been forgotten soon after its 1937 premiere, and treasured today only for historical reasons." Ebert continued, "Snow White is, truth to tell, a bit of a bore, not a character who acts but one whose mere existence inspires others to act," describing Disney's tendency to "confuse the titles of his movies with their subjects" as a "mistake" as the film is more about the dwarfs and the Evil Queen than Snow White. "The Washington Post"'s Desson Howe wrote, "the spirit in the mirror is dead wrong: The Wicked Queen ...

Terrence, who later became Albion, is actually an albino, which made him attractive to the dwarves. Dwarves usually abducts children who have special powers or characteristics. This explains his white hair, even as a child. Saref is a halfling (encantada and aswang). She's an outcast because of being a halfling and served as Terrence's sitter. She later became Albion's most loyal follower. The three children (Abet, Tyrone and Marco) represented different adolescent personalities that is usually seen in Filipino children: cowardly (Abet), snobbish (Tyrone), and bullyish (Marco). The script was re-written 4 times to accommodate the character development of each child, especially Abet.

Dwarfs, like fauns, satyrs, the river god and his Naiad daughters and the tree people (deities of the woods) stepped forth when Aslan (in "The Magician's Nephew") called for Narnia to "Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters." The dwarfs were presumably born of the earth, as the Dryads were of the trees and the Naiads of the waters. Dwarfs appear as the King's train-bearers at the coronation of King Frank. (Naiads held Queen Helen's robes) In keeping with their character as sons of Earth, the dwarfs are skilled and prolific smiths, miners, and carpenters.

Snow White happens upon their house after being told by the Huntsman to flee from the Queen's kingdom. The Seven Dwarfs return home and immediately notice someone has sneaked in, because the house has been cleaned. During their loud discussion, they discover the sleeping Snow White. She wakes up and explains to them what happened. The Dwarfs take pity on her, saying: "If you will keep house for us, and cook, make beds, wash, sew, and knit, and keep everything clean and orderly, then you can stay with us, and you shall have everything that you want." They warn her to be careful when alone at home, and to not let anyone in while they are delving in the mountains.

Gandalf is given several names and nicknames in Tolkien's writings. Gandalf himself says, "Many are my names in many countries. Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves, Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incánus, in the North "Gandalf"; to the East I go not." In an early manuscript version of "The Hobbit", he is called Bladorthin. Each Wizard is distinguished by the colour of his cloak. For most of his manifestation as a wizard, Gandalf's cloak is grey, hence the names Gandalf "the Grey", and Greyhame. "Mithrandir" is a name in Sindarin meaning "the Grey Pilgrim" or "the Grey Wanderer".

He also designed the posters for the film and illustrated the press book. However, Hovarth didn't receive a credit for the film. Other artists to work on the film included Joe Grant, whose most significant contribution was the design for the Queen's Witch form. Art Babbitt, an animator who joined the Disney studio in 1932, invited seven of his colleagues (who worked in the same room as him) to come with him to an art class that he himself had set up at his home in the Hollywood Hills. Though there was no teacher, Babbit had recruited a model to pose for him and his fellow animators as they drew.

Modern English has two plurals for the word "dwarf": "dwarfs" and "dwarves". "Dwarfs" remains the most commonly employed plural. The minority plural "dwarves" was recorded as early as 1818. However, it was later popularized by the fiction of philologist and legendarium author J. R. R. Tolkien, originating as a hypercorrective mistake. It was employed by Tolkien since some time before 1917. Regarding his use of this plural, Tolkien wrote in 1937, "I am afraid it is just a piece of private bad grammar, rather shocking in a philologist; but I shall have to go with it". For Tolkien's version of the beings themselves, see Dwarf (Middle-earth).

The role of the dwarfs is played by Korrigans, dwarf-like creatures from the Breton folklore. Louis Morin collected a version from Troyes in northeastern France, where like in the Grimm's version the mother questions a magic mirror. A version from Corsica titled "Anghjulina" was collected by Geneviève Massignon, where the roles of both the huntsman and the dwarfs are instead a group of bandits whom Anghjulina's mother asks to kill her daughter, but they instead take her away to live with them in the woods.
Snow White | France
Returning to her castle, she finds her Magic Mirror still in place and conjures a magical ice storm that freezes the entire kingdom, just barely missing princess Snow White who is told by her mother to find the Seven Dwarfs, immediately before her parents are transformed into ice statues. Grunyon, who was also spared being frozen, leads Snow White into the forest to escape the storm. After finding their way into the Warm Valley, they accidentally wander upon a giant garden and two giants appear (Finicky and Corny) who mistake them for bugs and try to squash them. Snow White starts crying, and Grunyon scolds the giants who apologize and introduce themselves through song, along with five other giants (Thinker, Hicker, Tiny, Weeper, and Brawny).

Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi was one team that was given an attempt at a movie pitch, which was to follow the Dwarfs in which they trap the villain in the magic mirror and setting it up for "Snow White" movie. Given the possible demand, Buena Vista Games brought in Obsidian Entertainment, a game developer, who pitched a video game focusing on the Dwarfs' similar ancestors. DTS executives were not feeling that the two franchise launching projects were coming together well enough that they turned to Mike Disa, who worked on the Tinker Bell movie story. Disa and Evan Spiliotopoulos pitched a "Lord of the Rings"-style epic for the dwarfs while "connecting seamlessly" with the original movie, which was given permission to move forward.

Snow White first appears in the film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). In "another land, far away," "many, many years ago," about the time of fairy tales of castles, knights, fair maidens, romance, magic and witches," a mysterious and icily beautiful woman with magical powers (a 1938 promotional brochure suggests that she is able to work her witchcraft having sold "herself body and soul to the bad spirits" of Germany's Harz mountains) has gained her royal position by marrying the widowed King, giving her rule over his kingdom before he died. "From that time on the cruel Queen ruled all alone, her every word was law, and all trembled in mortal fear of her anger."

In the 2000s, DisneyToon Studios began development on a computer-animated prequel to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", titled "The Seven Dwarfs". Director Mike Disa and screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos pitched a story explaining how the Dwarfs met, and how the Evil Queen killed Snow White's father and took the throne. According to Disa, DisneyToon management changed the prequel to center around how Dopey lost his voice upon witnessing the death of his mother. After Disney purchased Pixar in 2006, John Lasseter, DisneyToons' new Chief Creative Officer, canceled "Dwarfs".

The film inspired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to produce its own fantasy film, "The Wizard of Oz", in 1939. Another animation pioneer, Max Fleischer, decided to produce his animated feature film "Gulliver's Travels" in order to compete with "Snow White". The 1943 "Merrie Melodies" short "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs", directed by Bob Clampett, parodies "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by presenting the story with an all-black cast singing a jazz score. "Snow White's" success led to Disney moving ahead with more feature-film productions. Walt Disney used much of the profits from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to finance a new $4.5 million studio in Burbank – the location on which The Walt Disney Studios is located to this day.

Tolkien derived the name "Gandalf" from "Gandálfr", a dwarf in the Völuspá's "Dvergatal", a list of dwarf-names. In Old Norse, the name means "staff-elf". This is reflected in his name "Tharkûn", which is "said to mean 'Staff-man'" in Khuzdul, one of Tolkien's invented languages.
