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! ". 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.
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 Walt hired him on the spot. He
reprised this act as the comic giant, Willie. |
