We are all familiar with Snow White and the dwarfs, but who are the dwarfs?

Generally, we are talking about Snow White, and it is generally said that Snow White is paired with dwarfs. So do you really know who these seven dwarfs are? Next, let us walk into the seven dwarfs. Let’s take a look at the specific seven characters in this anime called Dwarves.

Speaking of the Seven Dwarfs, we are all very familiar with it. No matter what generation you are from, or whether you have read many fairy tales, there is a character in it who we yearn for and who we are. She is Snow White, but this princess is not very lucky in life. Because she is very beautiful, she is jealous of her stepmother. Her stepmother wants to To kill her.

But fortunately Snow White is very kind and received help from many people, especially the help of the seven dwarfs. She finally escaped one difficulty after another and solved one problem after another. problem, finally living with the prince, so next, let’s take a look at how these seven little people protect Snow White.

A character, let’s call him a know-it-all. He is the smartest person among the seven. He is also the absolute leader among the seven. All the dwarfs need to listen to him. , he can also command all of them. Of course, regardless of his high leadership skills, he is also a very confused guy, especially when he gets lost. Almost every time he goes out, he cannot find his way back. road.

Next, let’s talk about the second character. He is called Shy Guy. Why is he called such a name? It is because he is indeed very shy. He is shy in everything he does and is coquettish. He is very shy and does not dare to express his opinions loudly. He is really very kind. However, this does not affect his status among the seven people, nor does it affect his relationship with the other six people. Emotions between individuals.

We call the third person a sleepy person. Why he is called a sleepy person? As the name suggests, it is because he likes to sleep so much that he often cannot stay awake and dozes off every day. When something very strange happens, when something special happens, he will open his eyes and take a look, and say, "Oh, that's how it is."

Then let’s continue to introduce, there is another one called Snivell. Why he is called that? It’s because he likes to spank his nose with snot, and the snot is also very noisy when spanked. He often puts this kind of snot in his mouth. The dirty stuff sprays out, which will almost cause a big disaster for the dwarf. There is also the cutest character, let’s call him Pistachio. He likes to laugh very much and is very optimistic. His love of laughter is his only sign. When he laughs, his big eyes turn into slits. , very cute, he can always bring happiness to others, but he can also be sad sometimes, especially when Snow White is unconscious, he is particularly sad, and is also called a sad fruit.

In addition, there is also a person who can’t speak but is clumsy and cute, and he is called Muddlehead. He is the only one in the animation works of this movie. One, an actor without a dubbing, is just a silent film image, but it does not affect his cuteness at all.

The last person is the last dwarf who loves to be angry very much. He is also the bravest one among them, but he has a particularly grumpy and bad temper, without any optimism at all. He keeps complaining and lamenting, how could there be a person with such a temper. This is the story of the seven dwarfs. There are many more stories between them, so these are worth looking forward to and worth your careful appreciation.
