Who is the Disney princess that was friends with seven dwarfs?

The story behind the answer

The Disney princess who was friends with seven dwarfs is Snow White. In Disney’s story, she escapes her jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, and finds a cottage deep in the forest. The cottage belongs to seven hardworking dwarfs, who welcome her as a friend.

The dwarfs are named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey. Snow White helps care for their home while they work in a nearby mine. Together, they try to keep her safe from the Queen, who disguises herself and gives Snow White a poisoned apple.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937 and was Walt Disney’s first full-length animated feature. The story was inspired by the “Snow White” fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. A common mix-up is confusing Snow White with Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, who are also Disney princesses but do not live with seven dwarfs. Rapunzel belongs to a different story, Disney’s Tangled, and has no group of seven dwarfs.
