When Disney began drafting dwarf names for 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, they first compiled this short list of potential dwarven candidates.
Doc was added to the roster later, and as you can see below, some of these names would’ve made Disney’s first theatrical animated release an unmitigated train wreck. If I were in the director’s chair, I would’ve recruited an all-star team of Burpy, Flabby, Hickey, Wheezy, Dirty, Awful, and Biggo-Ego, who I can only assume was trained in Freudian psychoanalysis.
