Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


				SNEEZY: 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).
