| No, Sneezy
doesn't sneeze all the time ... just at the worst of times, like
when the dwarfs have returned from the diamond mine to search
for the mysterious "cleaning monster" in their midst. After a
particularly violent sneeze, which sends them tumbling in its
wake, he protests,"I couldn't help it ... when you gotta go, you
gotta ... I-I-I, i-i-i-it's comin'." So his pals quickly jump
him and tie his nose in a knot. Instead of getting angry, poor
Sneezy's grateful. He's just as annoyed by his condition as the
other dwarfs. But when all is said and done, his fellows are
quick and happy to lend him a sneeze-stifling hand. It's all
part of being a dwarf. Just keep Sneezy away from the goldenrod
... After reading an article in "Variety" that said there was to be a character named "Sneezy" in Disney's upcoming production of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," a comedian named Billy Gilbert contacted Walt by phone to say that his specialty happened to be comic sneezes. Walt agreed to audition him and, upon witnessing Mr. Gilbert's bewildering range of on-cue sneezes, Walt hired him on the spot. He reprised this act as the comic giant, Willie, in "Fun and Fancy Free" (1947). |
