Nothing motivates quite like finding out that even famous creators and inventors were in the exact same boat as you, maybe even for longer. Some of the most well-known and influential people in history endured rejection and failure before achieving their goals, but their persistence won out in the end.

Over 40 Dwarf Names That Didn’t Make The Cut

When Disney began drafting dwarf names for 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, they first compiled this short list of potential dwarven candidates.

Doc was added to the roster later, and as you can see below, some of these names would’ve made Disney’s first theatrical animated release an unmitigated train wreck. If I were in the director’s chair, I would’ve recruited an all-star team of Burpy, Flabby, Hickey, Wheezy, Dirty, Awful, and Biggo-Ego, who I can only assume was trained in Freudian psychoanalysis.

  1. Awful
  2. Baldy
  3. Bashful
  4. Biggo-Ego
  5. Burpy
  6. Daffy
  7. Deafy
  8. Dippy
  9. Dirty
  10. Dizzy
  11. Doleful
  12. Dopey
  13. Dumpy
  14. Flabby
  15. Gabby
  16. Grumpy
  17. Hickey
  18. Hoppy
  19. Hotsy
  20. Hungry
  21. Jaunty
  22. Jumpy
  23. Lazy
  24. Neurtsy
  25. Nifty
  26. Puffy
  27. Sappy
  28. Scrappy
  29. Shifty
  30. Shorty
  31. Silly
  32. Sleepy
  33. Snappy

Elderly Mickey Mouse

Mickey was ‘born’ 83 years ago (November 18, 1928), and I wanted to explore how he may have aged. BIG thanks to Kosart Effects Studios where I recently took a mask-making class unlocking a whole new set of possibilities for my art.
