The 7D is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation, and broadcast on Disney XD starting in July 7, 2014. It is a re-imagining of the titular characters from the 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Walt Disney Productions.[1]
Plot
The 7D defend the land of Jollywood from the magical villains Grim and Hildy Gloom who attempt to dethrone Queen Delightful and rule Jollywood.[1] The Glooms attempt to steal magical gems from the 7D mine to aid in their efforts.[3]
Characters
The 7D
The 7D are a group of dwarves who protect Jollywood from the Glooms and other threats. They are the descendants of the dwarves that founded Jollywood. Among the members of the 7D are:
- Doc (voiced by Bill Farmer[1]) – Doc is the leader of the group. He comes up with various inventions to help the 7D on their missions and engineered the sky buckets transportation system for Jollywood.[4] Farmer has been the voice of Goofy, and also Sleepy in other Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs projects.[5] Farmer said that in making a new take on Doc, he pinches his voice and made him a little scatterbrained.[6]
- Dopey (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker[1]) – Dopey communicates with whistles, animal sounds, and visual gags. In an interview with Disney Examiner, Baker said that portraying Dopey was easier and allows for more freedom because he uses only animal sounds and whistles.[7]
- Bashful (voiced by Billy West[1]) – Bashful is shy and sweet. He harbors a crush on Queen Delightful and hides in embarrassment when he hears his name.[4] West describes Bashful as a sweet character who tries to catch up to the others, but likes that he has another side.[5]
- Grumpy (voiced by Maurice LaMarche[1]) – Grumpy is grouchy. In portraying Grumpy, LaMarche drew inspiration from his friend who is a stockbroker, as well as parts of Danny Devito's character Louie De Palma from Taxi and Jason Alexander's character George Costanza from Seinfeld.[5][8]
- Happy (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson[1]) – Happy is joyous and is known for breaking out into song much to the dismay of Grumpy.[9] Richardson said that he drew inspiration from fellow voice actor Jim Cummings with a "country / New Orleans” voice where he is "always upbeat, always positive," and as "if someone just handed him a beer.” [5] Ruegger said that Richardson was the first one of the seven to be cast and his voice set the tone for casting the others.[6]
- Sneezy (voiced by Scott Menville,[1]) – Sneezy has powerful sneezes and has a variety of allergies that causes him to sneeze.[10] In the episode "Welcome to the Neighborhood", he shows off his handkerchief collection.

The Glooms
- Grimwold "Grim" Gloom (voiced by Jess Harnell[1]) – Grim is a warlock who is Hildy's husband. In "Itsy Bitsy Spider Fighters," it is revealed that Grim is afraid of spiders and ladybugs. In "The Jollywood Jam," it is revealed that Grim's great-great-great-grandfather was a warlock who was defeated by the Founders of Jollywood. Harnell describes him as "a bad-at-being-bad guy”. Regarding his role as a Disney villain, he said that "there’s a fine line — especially in ‘7D,’ which is a broad comedy — because you don’t want to scare little kids”.[12] He said "Grim is so awesome because he’s totally stupid but he’s got a really good heart. He’s actually not a bad guy, he’s just trying to keep up with his wife, which I guess a lot of us can relate to."[6]
- Hildy Gloom (voiced by Kelly Osbourne[13]) – Hildy is a witch and Grim's wife. Hildy is Osbourne’s first major voiceover role;[6][14] Osbourne was asked after Disney had auditioned 300 girls. She said that she had not seen the character design, which was created before the auditions, until after she got the job. She describes Hildy as “bad with the best intentions” and calls her “my alter ego – my Sasha Fierce”.[14][15]
Jollywood characters
- Queen Delightful (voiced by Leigh-Allyn Baker[1]) – Queen Delightful is the ruler of Jollywood. Whenever there is trouble, she acts like a police light and siren on a police car and then summons the 7D by pulling a rope for the Bing-Bong Bell.
- Lord Starchbottom (voiced by Paul Rugg[1][16]) – Lord Starchbottom is Queen Delightful's personal assistant. In "Itsy Bitsy Spider Fighters," it is revealed that Lord Starchbottom is afraid of spiders. Rugg drew inspiration from Jerry Lewis, whom he and Ruegger both admire.[5]
Recurring characters
- Magic Mirror (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg[17]) – The Magic Mirror serves Queen Delightful and resides in the castle's treasure room. In the episode, "Mirror, Mirror", the Glooms steal the Magic Mirror from Queen Delightful and replace her with a wise-cracking Not-So-Magic Mirror. After the Magic Mirror was rescued by the 7D, she falls in love with the Not-So-Magic Mirror and dates him.[4]
- Crystal Ball (voiced by Jay Leno[17]) – The Crystal Ball is an artifact the Glooms use to spy on Queen Delightful.
- Sir Yipsalot (voiced by Bill Farmer[18]) – Sir Yipsalot is Queen Delightful's pet dog.[11][10] His favorite treat is pickles.[18]
- Squire Peckington (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker[18]) – Squire Peckington is Queen Delightful's pet parrot who is seen perching in her crown.[10]
- Snazzy Shazam (voiced by Leigh-Allyn Baker) – Snazzy Shazam is a witch who was Hildy Gloom's rival in school. She is the one who put 100 people to sleep with one sleepy spell.
Production
The 7D was placed into production in June 2012 for the Disney Junior channel with characters redesigned by Noah Z. Jones.[17][19] In an interview with Indiewire, Gimeno said that the pilot episode was done in Flash, but the series was changed to traditional 2D which added production value as Flash was design heavy. The storyboards and pre-production were done at Disney. Animation was produced by Digital eMation in Korea and Toon City in the Phillippines.[19] Ruegger also said that the 2D is also better suited for the show's style.[6]
The theme song and many of the in-episode songs are done by Parry Gripp. He describes the song as "in kind of a punk rock style...It's pretty fast and has guitars and the tone of my voice is a bit nasal and aggressive. But the music in the show really varies.”[9]
Entertainment journalist Jim Hill has noted that some have related the voice ensemble to Marvel's Avengers since it features actors who have voiced in popular cartoon shows. He also noted how many of the crew have worked on Animaniacs, including Tom Ruegger, Sherri Stoner, Paul Rugg, Deanna Oliver, and Randy Rogel. Among the voice actors, LaMarche had voiced Brain, and Jess Harnell had voiced Wakko.[5] Voice director Kelly Ward said "God forbid if anything were to happen when they were all in one place because the voice-over industry would be dealt a crippling blow." The cast usually recorded in ensembles of two to four characters when possible, with Ruegger editing the timing afterwards for characters that recorded separately.[6]
Scott Menville, who voices Sneezy, said that the show takes place before Snow White was born so the Evil Queen from the film will not be there. He also said it is a contemporary take on the film as the characters are hip to the current generation and its pop culture references.[20] Jevon Phillips of Hero Complex also placed the series 30 years or so before Snow White. Ruegger said that the show's demographic differed from his previous works with Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain, however, he was also encouraged by Disney Jr. to expand the demographic to include parents.[21]
The 7D debuted on July 7, 2014 on Disney XD with broadcasts on Disney Channel and Disney Junior to take place later in the year.[17] It premiered on Disney Channel Asia on September 7.[22]
Reception
The 7D premiere broadcast ranked number 2 overall among Disney XD’s animated original-series premieres for kids 2–11 and kids 6–11.[23]
Brian Lowry of Variety wrote that the show has none of the charm of the source material, and that its plots “fall into a sort of No Kid’s Land in terms of age groups.”[24] Rob Owen wrote in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the characters were blandly drawn, and that the show was just a chance to capitalize on the film.[25]
