  1. #6) The dwarfs names were chosen from a pool of about fifty potentials, including Jumpy, Deafy, Dizzey, Hickey, Wheezy, Baldy, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Swift, Lazy, Puffy, Stuffy, Tubby, Shorty and Burpy.^[[7]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs_%281937_film%29#cite_note-Bob-6]^ The seven finalists were chosen through a process of elimination. The leader of the dwarfs, required to be pompous, self important and bumbling, was named Doc; others were named for their distinguishing character traits. At the end of the October story meetings, however, only Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy and Happy of the final seven were named; at this point, Sneezy and Dopey were replaced by 'Jumpy' and an unnamed seventh dwarf.^[[1]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs_%281937_film%29#cite_note-BarrierRelease1937-0]^

    The fly when he gets stuck on the flypaper too

    Says I love you..."

     

    Movie? Song?

  3. 10) The film was adapted from a Stephen Vincent Benet short story, "The Sobbin' Women", which in itself was based on an ancient Roman legend called "The Rape Of The Sabine Women", a story of how Romulus and his men obtained mates/wives by abducting women from their neighbors, Sabine tribe. The story was later retold by ancient Roman authors Livy and Plutarch....

     

    Next movie:..."Snow White And The Seven Dwarves".

  4. Randy Newman's "Burn On" from "Major League"....This isn't one of Randy Newman's best songs, but I do think that perhaps he should have won the Oscar for Best Music and song for "Ragtime" in 1982...(just my opinion).
