Secret 'Snow White' Dwarfs Revealed After They Were Cut For Being 'Too Offensive'

We all know the seven dwarfs from Snow White, right? Well, it turns out that 16 dwarfs were cut before production.

Some of the names were removed due to the fact that they could be construed as 'offensive'. But what were the names of some of these?

Tubby, Baldy and Deafy.

Yes, you read that correctly. Imagine the scenes if they'd done that today?! There'd definitely be some red faces.

Along with these three, Jumpy, Dizzey, Hickey, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Swift, Puffy, Stuffy, Burpy, Shorty, Wheezy and Lazy were also cut.

Original art work from the 1937 film went up for auction through Bonhams in New York and sold for an eye-watering total of £800,000.

Director of entertainment memorabilia at Bonhams, Dr Catherine Williamson, told the Mirror: "The auction featured every major Disney film from Snow White to Beauty and the Beast.

"We had a great crowd in with dealers and collectors from around the world.

"I think the guys at Disney will be relieved that the names of the dwarfs were changed at the last minute.

"I'm sure they wouldn't have offended sensibilities back in the 1930s but it would be a different story today."

So there you have it. The dwarfs could have been a lot different had they not had a last minute change of heart.

Heigh-Ho.
