h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So, what were the dwarves names before Disney got his claws into the story?

I don't think they had any names in the original Grimm brother's story see http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/sevendwarfs/index.html
where it says

"Dwarfs in symbology represent the underdeveloped and the unformed. They are pre-adolescent and not developed sexually. They live an immature and pre-individualistic form of existence that Snow White must transcend. (In the original story they are not individualised and Walt Disney by giving them names and personalities has destroyed their meaning in the story.)"

Pimms

in the version of snow white that i was in (playing principal boy) our dwarves were called:
Harlin (son of Henlin)
Sigmund the lofty
Ridgely Ironhammer
Corri Corrisonssonsson
Giddy Smallbottom
Winkle Shorthouse
Eric Dragonslayer

see www.lazybeescripts.co.uk for full cast i think that somewhere in there is even a picture of me waving a sword around! argh!

Stubby, Krusty, Dozy, Rory, Mory, Melvin and Coy in the Southgate Scout version!

I think ours this year are going to be called something like "Budgie,Fudgie,Nudgie, Pudgie, Sludgie, Trudgie, and Donald"(the name of Hong Kong's current chief executive) but that will probably be changed utterly by the time we put it on in the last week in November.

latest version is Grumpy, Frumpy, Stumpy, Dumpy,Humpy. Lumpy, and Doc (what do you mean you thought the 7th was Rumpy Pumpy? It isn't that sort of show) ,star>
