Which dwarf is the leader of the group?

Doc is the leader of the seven dwarfs in Disney’s 1937 animated film *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*.

Doc stands out through his authority, glasses, and tendency to mix up words. He often takes charge when the dwarfs discuss Snow White or confront danger, although his leadership is more comic and well-meaning than formal. The other six dwarfs are Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey.

A common mix-up is choosing Grumpy because he is outspoken and eventually leads the charge to rescue Snow White. Grumpy is the most resistant to her arrival, but he is not the group’s designated leader. Doc’s name also does not refer to a medical role in the story; it is simply his character name and part of the group’s personality-based naming scheme.

The dwarfs were created specifically for Disney’s feature film, which premiered in 1937 and helped establish personality-driven ensembles in animation.
