No matter what anyone says, Grumpy is against
it. This know-it-all naysayer has the disposition of an old
boot: tough, craggy, and resistant to anything. When the dwarfs
first find Snow White lying asleep across their beds, Grumpy
gripes, "Angel, huh? She's female, an' all females is poison!
They're full o' wicked wiles." When Bashful asks, "What're
wicked wiles?" Grumpy admits, "I don't know, but I'm agin 'em."
Like many an old boot, however, this one's really a softy
inside. When Snow White kisses him on the forehead despite his
complaints, he even smiles for a moment before regaining his
mal-composure. Could it be that Grumpy may be grumpy partially
to see who cares enough to put up with him? Whatever its source,
his stubborn determination eventually proves invaluable. When
the forest animals warn of trouble so dire that even his bossy
rival, Doc, stammers, "What do we do?" it's Grumpy who leads the
charge to save Snow White from the Wicked Queen. During the party sequence, Grumpy plays an elaborately carved pipe organ designed to look like a row of totem poles. To achieve the organ's deep tonal quality, the soundmen blew into bottles partially filled with water. Unfortunately, the ingenious solution created as many problems as it solved: As the recording sessions went on, slight temperature changes and natural evaporation kept altering the pitch of the bottles' notes. |
