  1. Do you know where to find more sceneries water colors like this one: http://one1more2time3.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/4snow-lay-capt.jpg ?
    or the making of these? I just saw one where you saw the artist working, but it was a bit short. Though I allready learned something out of it!

    1. There is this site: http://animationbackgrounds.blogspot.com/search/label/SNOW%20WHITE

      It is no longer being updated, but there are some great background images.

  2. I notice that the description for Dopey echoes what Walt said about him in that famous color footage; "…nice, but kind of silly". Interesting!

    1. I've always thought that Walt was rather careful in his description of Dopey, maybe so as to not offend or give the wrong impression about who this character really was.
