On-Screen Notes

 * There are no female dwarves.
 * Dwarves don't fall in love. Grumpy is an exception because his egg is accelerated by fairy dust, which was accidentally dropped by Nova.
 * Cartoonish carnival cutouts (where you put your face in the hole and it looks like you have a different body) of dwarves are in front of town hall during the preparations for Miner's Day. They can also be seen behind Mary Margaret's desk.

Production Notes

 * For the episode "Dreamy", the dwarves' noses were made of silicone and their ears from gelatin.
 * The eighth dwarf, Stealthy, was originally going to be called "Sneaky", but the name was changed after Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis got a note from ABC claiming the name "seemed derogatory."

In the play, they were named "Blick", "Flick", "Glick", "Snick", "Whick", "Plick" and "Quee". They were renamed in the 1937 Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where they were given the names used on ABC's Once Upon a Time.
