The Brothers Grimm first wrote and published Snow White's fairy tale in 1812. The original story included dwarf characters, but none of them had names.The dwarfs' names in the Broadway adaptation of Snow White, created a century later, were Blick, Flick, Glick, Snick, Plick, Which, and Quee.Disney's first animated film, Snow White, was created by Walt Disney in 1937.Disney knew that the dwarfs' personalities would be what would pull in the audience. Therefore he wanted them to play a significant role in the film.As a result, names were given to the dwarfs that reflected their personalities. The initial contenders included Gabby, Lazy, Wheezy, Nifty, and Shorty, to name a few.However, the seven dwarfs eventually were given their official names: Doc, Bashful, Grumpy, Happy, Dopey, Sleepy, and Sneezy.
