Fifty ideas for the dwarves' names and personalities were
listed in the film's proposal; the list included all of the names
finally included except Dopey and Doc (Dopey being the last
to be developed). Some of the dwarves were: Awful, Biggy,
Blabby, Dirty, Gabby, Gaspy, Gloomy, Hoppy, Hotsy, Jaunty,
Jumpy, Nifty, and Shifty. Sneezy was a last-minute
replacement for Jumpy.
The "special" Academy Award granted to the picture
consisted of one regular sized award and seven smaller sized
awards.
Convinced that it would fail, the Hollywood film industry
labeled the film "Disney's Folly."
Scenes planned, but never fully animated:
The queen holds the prince in the dungeon and uses her magic
to make skeletons dance for his amusement.
Fantasy sequence accompanying "Some Day My Prince Will
Come" in which Snow White imagines herself dancing with
her prince in the clouds beneath a sea of stars.(This was used later in
Sleeping Beauty
Dwarves building Snow White a bed with help from woodland
creatures.
The song "Music in Your Soup" where the dwarves sing about
the soup that Snow White had just made them.
