“The role played by the dwarfs in Snow White varies drastically between the short story and the animation. While they fulfill a fatherly role in the Brothers Grimm version, their position is reversed in the animation, where they are portrayed as children—with Snow White being their maternal figure. While, in the original, Snow White is treated as a little girl, excessively naïve, in the animation, she is an adult, a young woman, and not so naïve. The dwarfs call her “child” in Grimm’s version, but “woman” in the Disney version. The seven dwarfs also vary between prudent and capricious miners, in the original, and bumbling, clueless figures in the animation.”
