![]() ![]() In an earlier scene, Grumpy again shows his paranoia by claiming Snow White's home-made soup is 'Witch's brew'. ![]() Grumpy is also paranoid as he fears that because Snow White is in the Dwarf's cottage the Queen may be in the house as well. By the finale, he no longer hides his compassionate side and fully embraces any feelings of joy and care towards both Snow White and the other dwarfs, specifically Doc. However, at the climax of the film, Grumpy heroically leads the dwarfs on a mission to rescue the princess when the Queen confronts her, showing his care for her in full force. She even enjoys playfully teasing the stubborn dwarf on his "dislike" towards her. Throughout the movie, the friendship between the two grows, with Snow White being more than aware of it. However, unlike the others, for most of the film, he strongly denies it. Like all the dwarfs, Grumpy obviously has a soft spot for Snow White. Because of his fear, Grumpy initially opposes the other dwarfs' decision to let Snow White stay with them. It is likely that he came to believe this from hearing stories about the Evil Queen, her bad reputation and the fact that she's a witch, to the point that he often warns the others about her. Grumpy has an extreme distrust for women at the start of the film, believing them to possess black magic and wicked intentions (or "wicked wiles", as he called them, though he admitted he did not actually know what those are). While opinionated, and typically against change, Grumpy's mindset and views are shown to be able to change for the better, though the process for doing so proves to be lengthy. He's also shown to be quite intelligent, and rather fearless for the most part. Though stubborn, he has a compassionate heart as any, though he rarely admits this. He is also notably annoyed by Dopey's antics, Bashful's shyness, and Sneezy's nasal explosions. Perhaps, for this reason, he seems to resent Doc's position as a leader often doubting Doc's capabilities. Aside from this, he is perhaps the most capable and competent of the dwarfs. Throughout most of the film, he portrays negative, and even antagonistic traits, such as being overly rude, overbearing, arrogant, condescending, and sexist. Grumpy lives out his days with a sour deposition. You do care.” ―Snow White upon realizing Grumpy's compassionate side At first, he was reluctant to try the soup, following his attempt to prevent himself from admitting it is actually delicious until he could not hold it back any longer and decided to dig in hungrily like the rest of his comrades. ![]() Grumpy was to have a prominent role during the song, seen sneaking into the dining room after all the dwarfs have begun eating. The scene was cut as it was not felt relevant to the story. With Happy's help, Dopey manages to cough up both the spoon and the soap swallowed earlier. When Dopey tries to use his spoon to eat the soup, he swallows the spoon by mistake. The entire sequence can be seen on the second disc of the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition DVD.Īfter "Bluddle Uddle Um Dum", in which the dwarfs wash, they sat down to eat the soup with Snow White and ate by slurping very loudly. Snow White reminds them of how scary the forest will be for her if she has to leave, and Grumpy finally agrees that she can stay until she has made the gooseberry pie. Doc confronts Grumpy and a fight ensues, which Grumpy appears to be winning until the other dwarfs try to pry him away. The deleted sequence begins when Grumpy disagrees and scolds his fellows for weakening at the mention of gooseberry pie. Following Snow White's promise that she will cook gooseberry pie, all dwarfs cheer and agree that she can stay. A sequence that was fully animated was ultimately cut as it was felt to detract from the story. ![]()
