No matter what
anyone says, Grumpy is against it. This know-it-all naysayer has
the disposition of an old boot: tough, craggy, and resistant to
anything. When the dwarfs first find Snow White lying asleep
across their beds, Grumpy gripes, "Angel, huh? She's female, an'
all females is poison! They're full o' wicked wiles." When
Bashful asks, "What're wicked wiles?" Grumpy admits, "I don't
know, but I'm agin 'em." Like many an old boot, however, this
one's really a softy inside. When Snow White kisses him on the
forehead despite his complaints, he even smiles for a moment
before regaining his mal-composure. Could it be that Grumpy may
be grumpy partially to see who cares enough to put up with him?
Whatever its source, his stubborn determination eventually
proves invaluable. When the forest animals warn of trouble so
dire that even his bossy rival, Doc, stammers, "What do we do?"
it's Grumpy who leads the charge to save Snow White from the
Wicked Queen.
