Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was a groundbreaking movie when it was released in 1937. Utilizing the multiplane camera, animation reached new heights. Though all seven dwarfs were animated similarly, with large heads and cartoonish squat bodies, each had different personalities and visual traits. For example, Bashful blushed when Snow White guessed his name and moved in a way that showed his childlike shyness, fidgeting, and hiding behind his knotted beard. Another dwarf named Grumpy was drawn with a scowl and snapped back when Snow White asked, “How do you do?” Grumpy had narrow eyebrows, his body language was stern, and his arms were crossed, signifying he was not interested in socializing as the other dwarfs were.
