Dopey falls into the kitchen and emerges from the cottage, covered in pots and pans. The other dwarfs think that he is the monster and rush outside, locking the door. Dopey is so terrified upon entering the bedroom that, when he hears a noise coming from the beds, he screams and rushes downstairs. Dopey is elected, and Doc, his hand shaking, gives Dopey the candle. They decide that whatever is in the cottage is upstairs, and Doc declares that one of them must go upstairs to chase it out of the house. The dwarfs note that the cottage has been cleaned. They sneak into the cottage ( Dopey peeking through Sleepy's beard) and search the room. When the seven dwarfs reach their cottage, they think that a monster has taken up residence in their house. He is the only other dwarf beside Dopey not to join in the singing, as he is too tired. As the dwarfs' march home, singing " Heigh-Ho", Sleepy is fourth in line. At one point the fly pesters Sleepy, who in an attempt to swat it accidentally hits the deer's backside this causes the deer to kick the cart several times, sending Sleepy flying. He controls the mine cart, presumably transporting the diamonds to Doc, who then sorts them. ![]() Sleepy is first introduced, with his six companions, at the Dwarfs' Mine. Finally, Bashful is dressed in brown pants and brown shoes.Īppearances Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs File:Sleepy mine.jpg In addition, he wears a blue cap, a green jacket patched in several places and surrounded by a black belt. He constantly has heavy eyelids and dark circles under his eyes, as well as a single tooth that we see when he yawns. He has brown eyes, a red nose and a long white beard that reaches up to his partially bald head. Sleepy is quite thin, he has the same profile as Bashful or Sneezy. He was the only dwarf to make the assumption that the Evil Queen may be attacking Snow White at the cottage when the forest animals frantically interrupted the dwarfs' mine work. However, in spite of spending most of his time nearly falling asleep, Sleepy is apparently the most observant and logical of the seven dwarfs, whether he knows it or not. Though usually stricken with laziness, he is a hard worker, but also a bit of a bumbler, as he often finds himself falling into accidental physical harm due to his lack of quick motion, such as whacking a deer's hide trying to catch a fly or smacking himself with a cymbal doing the same. Most of the scenes featuring Sleepy showcases the drowsy dwarf struggling to keep awake in the midst of a colorful event taking place. True to his name, Sleepy is always weary, droopy-eyed, and is always eager to fall asleep. Moore made sure that, on every animation drawing of Sleepy, one eye was larger than the other, or one eye was more squashed than the other, to suggest the dwarf's perpetual weariness.Īt a story meeting of October 3, 1934, the suggestion was made that Sleepy bring an end to the conflict between the fly and himself by trapping the fly in Snow White's glass coffin. In order to establish Sleepy's character during the march home in " Heigh Ho", George Stalling noted traits specific to the character, to be taken into account in the animation: A drawing by Albert Hurter of Sleepy with his mouth wide open in a yawn inspired animator Fred Moore to be more extreme in Sleepy's animation. Vladimir Tytla noted that the dwarfs should walk with a swing to their hips, and Fred Moore commented that the dwarfs had to move a little more quickly to keep up with the human characters. Though designing the dwarfs was relatively easy, animating them proved to be difficult, as the animators, already finding human figures difficult to animate, now had to animate 'ill-formed' human figures. ![]()
