TheSeven Dwarfs are fictionaldwarfs in the 1812 fairy taleSnow White by theBrothers Grimm and other renditions and adaptations.^[1]

The Seven Dwarfs live in a tiny cottage and work in the nearby mines. Snow White stumbles upon their house after being told by theHuntsman to flee from theQueen's kingdom.

The Seven Dwarfs return home and immediately notice someone has snuck 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 the 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 working in the mountains.

When the Queen, disguised as an old peddler, ties a colorful silkbodice onto Snow White, it causes her to faint. The Seven Dwarfs return just in time and Snow White is saved when the Dwarfs cut the lace. The Queen comes once again, this time dressed as a comb seller. She gives Snow White a poisoned comb, but the Seven Dwarfs save her again. The Queen then appears disguised as a farmer's wife and gives Snow White a poisoned apple. Snow White bites into it and falls to the ground, apparently dead. This time, the Seven Dwarfs are unable to revive the girl, because they can't determine Snow White's physical state and, assuming that she is dead, place her in a glass coffin. After some time, a Prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He walks up to her coffin and, enchanted by her beauty, instantly falls in love with her. As the Prince transports her body back to his castle, her coffin is hit hard and a large piece of apple in her throat is released, thus reviving her. The prince then marries Snow White and they "live happily ever after."

As a prominent cultural portrayal, the Seven Dwarfs have been controversial among people withdwarfism. One critical scholar has said it "followed the conventions of thefreak show and perpetuated contemporary prejudices in their constructions of people with dwarfism," portraying them as "incapable, humorous, weird, childlike," and "overly naïve, perhaps even dim-witted."^[2] In 2022, the actorPeter Dinklage criticizedDisney'splanned live-action remake ofSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs as being responsible for "renewing damaging stereotypes", saying "You're progressive in one way but you're still making that fucking backward story of seven dwarves living in the cave. What the fuck are you doing, man?"^[3][4][5]

Others in the dwarfism community like Jeff Brooks and Katrina Kemp expressed different views. Professional wrestler Dylan Postl, better known by his ring personaHornswoggle, voiced his disagreement with Dinklage's condemnation of the Seven Dwarfs' portrayal, saying that Disney's replacement of them with anonymous "magical creatures", portrayed byvoice actors, would have deprived dwarf actors of a possible starring role in a film based on an established property.^[6][7][8] ComedianBrad Williams also expressed a similar sentiment, stating that while he agreed that the portrayal was "mildly offensive", there are ways to work around the issue by depicting the Dwarfs as a potential love interest for Snow White and de-emphasizing the prince's role in the story, also complimenting the positive aspects of the characters: "I mean, they have jobs, you know? They got good friends. They got a house. They like to protect her [Snow White]. They're diamond miners, so they're rich. They're self-made, wealthy."^[9][10]

Created by	Walt Disney Fred Moore Bill Tytla Ward Kimball Frank Thomas Les Clark

ADisney version of the Seven Dwarfs appeared in the 1937 animated filmSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

• Doc (voiced byRoy Atwell in the film,Jim Cummings andAndré Sogliuzzo in later projects) – The leader of the seven dwarfs, Doc wears glasses and often mixes up his words.
• Grumpy (voiced byPinto Colvig in the film,Corey Burton in later projects) – Grumpy initially opposesSnow White's presence in the dwarfs' home, but later warns her of the threat posed by the Queen and eagerly rushes to her aid upon realizing that she is in danger, leading the charge himself. He has the biggest nose of the dwarfs and is the slimmest of the seven, and is frequently seen with one eye shut or with a frown until the film's finale.
• Happy (voiced byOtis Harlan in the film,Kevin Schon andStephen Stanton in later projects) – Happy is the jovial dwarf and is usually portrayed laughing. While the other dwarfs have thin black eyebrows inspired by Walt Disney's eyebrows, his eyebrows are white and thicker.
• Sleepy (voiced byPinto Colvig in the film,Bill Farmer in later projects) – Sleepy is always tired and appearslethargic in most situations.
• Bashful (voiced byScotty Mattraw in the film,Jeff Bennett in later projects) – Bashful is veryshy and kind-hearted. He is also described as cute and romantic, with a crush on Snow White. He often blushes when embarrassed or at the center of attention.
• Sneezy (voiced byBilly Gilbert in the film,Bob Joles in later projects) – Sneezy's name is earned by his extraordinarily powerful sneezes (caused byhay fever), which are seen blowing even the heaviest of objects across a room.
• Dopey (vocal effects provided byEddie Collins in the film) – Dopey is the youngest dwarf, being the only one who does not have a beard and is bald, with the largest ears of the dwarfs. He is accident-prone and mute, with Happy explaining that he has simply "never tried" to speak. Furthermore, he shares his name with another Disney character, one of theDumbo crow characters, "Dopey", also known as "Straw Hat".

The Seven Dwarfs also appeared in other animated projects likeSeven Wise Dwarfs,All Together,The Winged Scourge,House of Mouse,The Lion King 1½, andOnce Upon a Studio.^[11] They also appear in video games likeKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and its prequelKingdom Hearts χ,^[12] andDisney Magic Kingdoms.^[13]

In the early 2000s,DisneyToon Studios (DTS) joinedDisney Consumer Products (DCP) as their internal Disney conglomerate video partner in developing the new Disney franchises. While DCP eyed other potential franchises, DisneyToon looked to theSeven Dwarfs for a male-centric franchise to counterbalance the female-centricDisney Fairies. By 2005,The Seven Dwarfs animated sequel toSnow White was officially underway.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 themagic mirror and setting it up forSnow White movie. Given the possible demand,Buena Vista Games brought inObsidian 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 toMike Disa, who worked on theTinker Bell story. Disa andEvan Spiliotopoulos pitched aThe Lord of the Rings-style epic for the dwarfs while "connecting seamlessly" with the original film, which was given permission to move forward. With interfering managers wanting a tragic back story for Dopey, Disa decided that he could not go forward.Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officerJohn Lasseter about two month later ended production on the film.^[14]

The 7D is an Americananimatedtelevision series produced byDisney Television Animation based onSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is a re-imagining of the title characters from the 1937 film and their adventures prior to the introduction of Snow White. The TV series details the 7D working for Queen Delightful where they protect Jollywood from the Glooms and other threats.^[14] For this version of the characters, Doc is voiced byBill Farmer, Grumpy byMaurice LaMarche, Happy byKevin Michael Richardson, Sleepy byStephen Stanton, Bashful byBilly West, and Sneezy byScott Menville, while Dopey's vocal effects are provided byDee Bradley Baker.

The Seven Dwarfs were given a new theme park attraction called theSeven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster.^[14]

InDescendants,Descendants 2 andDescendants 3, Dopey is shown to have a son named Doug (portrayed by Zachary Gibson) who can talk and becomes smitten byEvil Queen's daughter Evie. In theDescendants novelThe Isle of the Lost, Doc is shown to be sympathetic towards the Goblins that operate on the Isle of the Lost's Goblin Wharf where they want amnesty for their involvement withMaleficent. In the books, Grumpy, Bashful, and Sleepy also have sons (respectively named Gordon, Bashful Jr., and Sleepy Jr.), and Happy is mentioned to have one inDescendants 2 who's his opposite.

Sneezy is among the bootlegged toons in the 2022 live-action/animated film adaptation ofChip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

The guns of the British battleship HMS Nelson, officially known as "Right, Centre or Left" gun in "A", "B" or "X" turret, were unofficially named by the crew, "Mickey", "Minnie", "Grumpy", "Sneezy", "Dopey", "Bashful", "Happy", "Sleepy" and "Doc".^[15]

In the 2023 Disney filmWish, the main characterAsha's seven friends are inspired by the seven dwarfs, both in personality and in sharing the initial of their names: Dahlia (Doc), Gabo (Grumpy), Hal (Happy), Simon (Sleepy), Safi (Sneezy), Bazeema (Bashful), and Dario (Dopey).^[16]

In the 2025live-action adaptation of the original film, the Seven Dwarfs appear in CGI form with Doc being motion-captured by Jonathan Bourne and voiced byJeremy Swift, Grumpy being motion-captured by Omari Bernard and voiced byMartin Klebba, Happy motion-captured by David Birch and voiced byGeorge Salazar, Sleepy being motion-captured by Sandy Foster and voiced by Andy Grotelueschen, Bashful being motion-captured by Leah Haile and voiced byTituss Burgess, Sneezy being motion-captured by Dominic Owen and voiced byJason Kravits, and Dopey being motion-captured by Jaih Betote and voiced byAndrew Barth Feldman.

InSesame Street, there were different versions of the Seven Dwarfs where each of them was made from Anything Muppets.

• The Six Dwarfs seen in Episode 279 consisted of Sparky (performed byJerry Nelson), Snooky (performed byJerry Nelson), Pokey (performed byJim Henson), Flakey (performed byJim Henson), Drippy (performed byJerry Nelson), and Sneaky (performed byJim Henson). Snow White visited their house instead of the Seven Dwarf by mistake and was able to see the difference.
• In aSesame Street News Flash that was seen in Episode 2787, the Seven Emotional Dwarfs appear where they were interviewed byKermit the Frog. Their names are Cheerful (performed byRichard Hunt), Sad (performed byKevin Clash), Angry (performed byJerry Nelson), Proud (performed byMartin P. Robinson), Fearful (performed byDavid Rudman), Lovey (performed by James Kroupa), and Surprised (performed byJim Martin).
• In Episode 4114, the Seven Dwarfs appear opposite Snow White (portrayed byAmy Sedaris). The Seven Dwarfs consist of Clumsy (performed byJoey Mazzarino), Vertigo (performed byFran Brill), Gassy (performed byMatt Vogel), Itchy (performed byCarmen Osbahr), Smelly (performed byMartin P. Robinson), Sensitive-Nose (performed byRyan Dillon), and Hammy (performed byEric Jacobson).

In the first episode of the final series ofThe Goodies (which was filmed atITV), The Goodies did a story set in a fairy tale world where they replaced three of the seven dwarfs (two of them died of exposure and another one was eaten by a gold fish). But they are later found out because of their height. The dwarfs take their names from the Disney film (Sleepy, Happy, and Grumpy) while Graeme and Bill renamed themselves to fit in (Soppy and Gwotty). Only Tim kept his name.

In the "Snow White" episode ofGrimm's Fairy Tale Classics, the Seven Dwarfs are named Sunday (voiced by Clifton Wells in the English dub), Monday (voiced byKerrigan Mahan in the English dub), Tuesday, Wednesday (voiced by Tom Wyner in the English dub), Thursday, Friday (voiced byMichael Sorich in the English dub), and Saturday (voiced byEdward Mannix in the English dub) and are shown to be allied with a pack of wolves.

The Seven Dwarves appear in the 1990Snow White film voiced byJim Cummings andRob Paulsen.^[20]

InHappily Ever After, it was mentioned that the Seven Dwarfs have opened up a mine in the next kingdom. In their place is the Seven Dwarfelles (their female cousins) who have received a power based on nature to help out their bossMother Nature.

The Dwarfelles consisted of:

• Muddy (voiced byCarol Channing) – A Dwarfelle who has power over the earth, and as such performs such tricks as causing minor tremors and such. She feels most comfortable playing in the mud.
• Sunburn (voiced bySally Kellerman) – A Dwarfelle who has power over sunlight, and is able to focus sun rays in any area and to whatever extremity she so wishes. She uses her power in the film to clear away clouds and summon down a beam of light to illuminate a dark cave. She has a New Yorker accent and attitude and her catchphrase is "This really BURNS me up!".
• Blossom (voiced byZsa Zsa Gabor) – A Dwarfelle who has power over plants and flowers, and is seen throughout the animation zapping the ground and having flowers spring up. It becomes apparent that her flora powers are less effective if the area is less natural or adaptable, as in the Realm of Doom. Blossom is very reminiscent of her voice actress with Gabor's mannerisms, penchant for the beautiful and fashionable, and even her signature accent.
• Marina (voiced byLinda Gary) – A Dwarfelle who has power over all lakes and rivers, but the only example of her powers in the film is being able to breathe underwater. Marina carries herself as a gentlewoman and has a British accent.
• Critterina (voiced byLinda Gary) – A Dwarfelle who has power of all animals who are created by Mother Nature. She is able to communicate with all animals, regardless of their creators, but does not have control over animals who are not Mother Nature's work like Lord Maliss' one-horned wolves. Although the other Dwarfelles are human in appearance, Critterina looks anthropomorphic. She aptly has a cowgirl mentality and a Texan accent.
• Moonbeam (voiced byTracey Ullman) – A Dwarfelle is never seen using her powers, but has the distinct characteristic of being in a deep slumber and sleepwalking in the day, and only awaking at night.
• Thunderella (voiced byTracey Ullman) – The seventh and youngest Dwarfelle, and is considered the 'black sheep' of the seven because of her inability to control her powers. She has power over weather, and always seems to mess her attempts at creating storms. She ends up saving the day by hitting Lord Maliss with a bolt of lightning she creates from her fingertip.

The Dwarfelles helped Snow White on her quest to rescue the Prince from the Queen's sorcerer brother Lord Maliss.

InHappily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child, the show's adaptation of "Snow White" that takes place in the American southwest depicts the Seven Dwarves as seven mystical little men who came from the north to mine turquoise. They consist of:

• Bright Silver (voiced byPato Hoffmann) – The leader of the seven little men.
• Fool's Gold (voiced byBurr DeBenning) – The clumsiest little man.
• Smelly Sulfur (voiced byBurr DeBenning) – The smelliest little man.
• Hard Jade (voiced by Tim Sampson) – The strongest little man.
• Rough Copper (voiced by Jim Great Elk Waters) – Named for his temper, but is also quick-witted.
• Sharp Flint (voiced byMichael Horse) – Named for his sharp tongue.
• Heavy Metal (voiced by Sonny Skyhawk/Sonny Roubideaux) – The hungriest little man.

The Seven Dwarfs appear in theShrek series.

InShrek, the Seven Dwarfs appear in the first film carrying Snow White's coffin.

They are seen again at the start ofShrek 2, giving Shrek a ring engraved with "I love you" in flaming letters for Fiona (in an allusion to theOne Ring fromThe Lord of the Rings).

InShrek the Third, one of them is given to Fiona as a wedding present (as ababysitter) from Snow White who says she has six more at home.

The Seven Dwarfs are seen at the end ofScared Shrekless when Shrek and Fiona celebrate by egging them.

InShrek The Musical, one of the dwarfs, based on Grumpy, is written as Farquaad's father who says he abandoned him in the woods as a child after his wife (fromThe Princess and the Pea) falls out of 25 mattresses. However, when the fairytale freaks brought Grumpy to Farquaad's wedding, he reveals that he kicked Farquaad out because he was twenty-eight years old and living in his basement.

InMirror Mirror, the Seven Dwarfs work ashighwaymen and rob from anyone that comes down their way by wearing boots with retractable stilts that make them look taller. The Seven Dwarfs consist of:

• Will Grimm (portrayed byDanny Woodburn) – The leader of the Seven Dwarfs. He is named after the Brothers Grimm.
• Butcher (portrayed byMartin Klebba) – A Dwarf that used to work as abutcher.
• Wolf (portrayed by Sebastian Saraceno) – A Dwarf in awolf cape who can also howl.
• Napoleon (portrayed byJordan Prentice) – A Dwarf that wears a hat similar toNapoleon Bonaparte.
• Half Pint (portrayed byMark Povinelli) – A Dwarf who has a crush on Snow White.
• Grub (portrayed by Joe Gnoffo) – A Dwarf who is always eating.
• Chuck (portrayed by Ronald Lee Clark) – A Dwarf who chuckles a lot.

The Seven Dwarfs help Snow White to form a resistance against Queen Clementianna.

In thePrincesses series byJim C. Hines, the dwarfs are actually anthropomorphic elemental personifications, summoned by Snow to aid her based on a spell from one of her mother's books. The seven dwarfs represent Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light, Shadow, and Magic, although the 'Magic' dwarf is essentially a spirit that just inhabits Snow and enhances her power rather than appearing on its own, with the others appearing in some form to represent their element. Although powerful fighters that will serve Snow loyally, the consequences of summoning them is that Snow must 'pay' the spirits with seven years of her life, with the result that she appears to be in her mid-thirties when she is really only in her early twenties. As a result, she has only summoned the dwarves twice, initially calling on their aid to help her defeat her mother before the series began, and summoning them again to help her and her allies defeat her mother's spirit in the first book in the series (she contemplated summoning them against to deal with the ruthless Wild Hunt inRed Riding's Revenge, but was advised against it as the spiritual nature of the hunt meant that nobody could be sure if the dwarves could do anything against them).

InSnow White and the Huntsman, the Seven Dwarfs started out as eight dwarfs when they are encountered by Snow White and Eric the Huntsman while fleeing Queen Ravenna.^[21] The Seven Dwarfs are:

• Beith (portrayed byIan McShane) – The leader of the Seven Dwarfs. His name is the name of the first letter ("B") in theOgham alphabet.
• Muir (portrayed byBob Hoskins) – The blind elder dwarf who possesses the powers of premonition and is the father of Quert. His name echoesmuin, the name of "M" in the Ogham alphabet.
• Quert (portrayed byJohnny Harris) – The son of Muir. His name echoesceirt, the name of "Q" in the Ogham alphabet.
• Coll (portrayed byToby Jones) – The brother of Duir. His name is the name of "C" in the Ogham alphabet.
• Duir (portrayed byEddie Marsan) – The brother of Coll. His name is the name of "D" in the Ogham alphabet.
• Gort (portrayed byRay Winstone) – An ill-tempered dwarf. His name is the name of "G" in the Ogham alphabet.
• Nion (portrayed byNick Frost) – Beith's right-hand dwarf. His name is the name of "N" in the Ogham alphabet (sometimes given asnuin).
• Gus (portrayed by Brian Gleeson) – A dwarf who develops a bond with Snow White. He is killed during an attack by Queen Ravenna's men where he sacrifices his life to protect Snow White. His name does not correspond to an Ogham letter.

The Dwarfs were played by actors without dwarfism who had their faces digitally transmuted onto small bodies, prompting a protest from theLittle People of America.^[22]

InThe Huntsman: Winter's War, Nion returns where he aids Eric the Huntsman in retrieving the Magic Mirror which was stolen before it can be sealed away. They are aided by Nion's half-brother Gryff (portrayed byRob Brydon) who is a debt collector.

InOnce Upon a Time, the Seven Dwarfs (who started out as eight) are on the side of Snow White and go by their Disney names.

• Grumpy (played byLee Arenberg) is one of eight Dwarf brothers who hatched from their eggs at the same time. Like all dwarfs, he is immediately sent to work in the mines and is given a pickax, which names himDreamy. Because his egg was accidentally sprinkled with fairy dust by the fairy Nova, he dreams about her and falls in love with her. Later, he meets her and the pair make plans to buy a boat and see the world. However, theBlue Fairy tells him that if he and Nova run away together, she will lose her wings and she will never be truly happy. To prevent this, Dreamy ends their relationship and breaks her heart. He returns to the mines the next day and breaks his pickax mining; when he is given another, it renames him Grumpy. He is later caught possessing a stolen diamond, which he did not know was stolen, and is seen inKing George's dungeon in a cell next to Snow White's. He is freed by Stealthy, one of his brothers, and he in turn frees Snow. As he and Stealthy escape, they are discovered by George and his guards and Stealthy is killed. Before the guards can kill Grumpy, Snow goes with George in exchange for Grumpy's life. Grumpy and the remaining six dwarfs run into Snow outside the castle. Grumpy tells her that she must live with the pain of a lost love to grow as a person and does not allow her to drink a potion that makes her forget about her love forPrince James. The seven dwarfs then allow her to live with them. Later, Grumpy goes to tell her that James called off his wedding, but he discovers that she drank the potion. He and his brothers try to confront Snow about her new, mean-spirited behavior, but they drive her to try and kill the Evil Queen instead. He takes her to seeRumplestiltskin, who gave her the potion, but he advises her on the best way to kill the Queen instead. Eventually, Snow regains her memory and apologizes to the dwarfs for her behavior. She decides to rescue James, who was captured by George, and Grumpy and his brothers go with her. Grumpy is later seen discussing the best course of action against the Evil Queen and her curse, calling for war. He is also seen as a guard looking out for the curse in a watchtower of Snow's and James's castle. In Storybrooke, he isLeroy, ajanitor at the hospital and the "town drunk." He, like the rest of Storybrooke, is hostile toward Mary Margaret, who is Snow White, after learning about her affair with David Nolan, who is Prince James. He meets Sister Astrid, who is Nova, and decides to help Mary Margaret sell candles for the nunnery and raise money for the nunnery's rent so that he can be near Astrid. When he and Mary Margaret fail to sell enough candles, he lies about the number they sold because he is unable to disappoint Astrid. He tries to sell his boat to Mr. Gold in the hopes that he will forgive the rent. Mr. Gold refuses. Astrid later learns about the candles and is upset that he lied. That night, Leroy causes a blackout, forcing the residents to buy candles. The candles sell out and the nunnery is able to pay its rent. Leroy then offers the grateful Astrid the opportunity to be the first passenger on his boat. Leroy's memories as Grumpy are restored when the curse is broken, and he hugs Snow when he next sees her. He wishes for Regina to be killed by the mob led by Dr. Whale, though he decides against it at Snow's insistence. He unites the Dwarfs together and they begin to mine for fairy dust again.
• Sleepy (played by Faustino Di Bauda) – Sleepy is a sleepy dwarf who is one of the Seven Dwarfs. In Storybrooke, he isWalter, asecurity guard that works at Storybrooke Hospital who occasionally dozes off on the job.
• Sneezy (played byGabe Khouth) – Sneezy is a dwarf who often sneezes and is one of the Seven Dwarfs. In Storybrooke, he isTom Clark, the owner of the Dark Starpharmacy where several characters are seen purchasing different products throughout the show. In Season 2, Sneezy joined the other dwarfs in an experiment that involved why the fairy tale characters can't leave Storybrooke. Upon drawing the shortest straw, Sneezy crossed the border out of Storybrooke and lost his memories of his past life in Fairy Tale Land once again.
• Doc (played byDavid Paul Grove) – Doc is a dwarf who is one of the Seven Dwarfs. In Storybrooke, he still has his name but his occupation is unknown.
• Bashful (played by Mig Micario) – Bashful is a dwarf who is one of the Seven Dwarfs. In Storybrooke, his human form is not named.
• Dopey (played by Jeffrey Kaiser) – Dopey is a dwarf who is one of the Seven Dwarfs and has never spoken. In Storybrooke, his human form is not named.
• Happy (played by Michael Coleman) – Happy is a dwarf who is one of the Seven Dwarfs. In Storybrooke, his human form is not named.

There were some other dwarfs that were associated with the Seven Dwarfs:

• Stealthy (played by Geoff Gustafson) was a dwarf who used to be part of the Seven Dwarfs' group, originally being eight members. He received his name from his pickaxe like the other dwarfs because of his skillful infiltration abilities. He once tried to break Grumpy and Snow White out of his prison cell in King George's castle, but was killed during their escape. Grumpy would later comment, "I miss Stealthy", when trying to sneak into an enemy lair. He later ended up in the Underworld and after Henry gives him his unfinished business being his resentment towards Bashful he is able to move and ask Henry to tell his brother he misses them. In the Wish Realm, Stealthy is seen to be alive after Queen Snow and King David defeated the Evil Queen.
• Bossy (played by Ken Kramer) is a dwarf who is also the leader of the other dwarfs.
• Watchy (played byRichard Ian Cox) is a dwarf who watches over the dwarf eggs until they hatch.

The Italian-French TV seriesSeven and Me [it], the seven dwarfs appear as the guardians of Snow, a modern-days girl who is a descendant of Snow White.^[23]

These dwarfs consist of:

• Brainio, a wise teacher
• Ingenio, an inventor
• Glouto, who is greedy
• Mysterio, an alchemist
• Biscotto, the work-out guy
• Gossbo, who is an adventurer
• Calino, who is hypersensitive

The following is a list of names of the Seven Dwarfs from various adaptations of the Snow White story. Some adaptations do not name the dwarfs, have seven non-dwarfs (such as the seven Leafe Knights in the animePrétear - The New Legend of Snow White) or omit them altogether (as in the 1998 operaSchneewittchen).

David Bowie's "Little Wonder" on theEarthling (1997) album lists the individual names of the dwarves.^[25]

The music video for the 2001 single "Sonne" by German rock bandRammstein is a parody ofSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, depicting the band members as the Seven Dwarfs mining gold for Snow White.^[26]

Taylor Swift mentions both Snow White and the seven dwarves in her song "The Best Day", a track about her mother.^[27]
