Grumpy is a character who appears along with the rest of the seven dwarfs in the animated series The 7D.
He is based on the character of the same name from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Background[]
Like the original film, and staying true to his name, Grumpy is pessimistic, has a harsh attitude, is easily annoyed, and is prone to making rude and sarcastic remarks. His fiery temper is often set off by Happy's bubbly persona and constant singing. Despite his negative outlook, Grumpy is a hero at heart in the show and is often the first to take action when the villains Grim and Hildy Gloom cause mayhem throughout the kingdom. He also seems to be the most intelligent of the dwarfs, after Doc, and can easily be considered the toughest. Even so, he can be pretentious at times, overly suspicious, and his anger has, on occasion, landed the group into trouble.
As seen in "Sneezin' Season", Grumpy appears to be a generally disliked inhabitant of Jollywood. This could explain his negative attitude and why he softens almost immediately whenever he's given even the slightest bit of compassion.
Grumpy is also featured breaking the fourth wall constantly.
Trivia[]
- Maurice LaMarche says his voice for Grumpy was inspired by Louie De Palma from Taxi and George Costanza from Seinfeld.
