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.
