Icon10 Snow White Dwarves downsized

Dec 27, 9:30 AM (ET)

BERLIN (Reuters) - Snow White had to make do with just four dwarves rather than the usual seven due to cost-cutting at a theater in the eastern German town of Stendal, the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported.

The Altmark Stendal theater said it could afford only six actors for its Christmas rendition of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," which led to protests from theater-goers from the nearby western city of Hanover who wanted to see seven dwarves.

The theater said it had attached two puppets in dwarf outfits to a background wall to give the production six dwarves. The actor playing the prince was supposed to double as the seventh dwarf but only made one brief appearance on stage.

"The seventh dwarf wasn't on stage the whole time because he was in stuck down in the mine working overtime," theater spokeswoman Susanne Kreuzer told the newspaper.

LOLOL I know it's not suppose to be funny, but I can't help the tiny giggle that just escaped. It reminded me of one of the little stories you will read in the Unofficial Guides..lol

ROFL! Why even do that show then? Why not pick another story?
I'd be griping too if the show I saw was short a few dwarfs...

Re: Snow White Dwarves downsized

Hey, some of those dwarves were expendable anyway.

What burns my biscuits is how Disney convienently left the following drwarves out of the movie for budgetting reasons:

Snippy (He didn't get along with the director)
Pig Pen (He had to get work with Charles Schultz after being cut.)
Stinky (If they were able to work with a skunk in Bambi, they could have dealt with him.)
Mini-me (Went to work for Dr. Evil)
Snotty (Sneezy's grossier twin)
Procrastinator (Okay, I'll admit it was his own fault for showing up late, but still...)
Accountant (Doc's twin)
Constipated (They claimed he was in the bathroom too much)
Gollum (Look what happend to him!)
and Erin (Gollum's twin sister)

See, just another example of people leaving Disney and making way more money at another studio!
