Evolution of the Seven Dwarfs Costumes! - DIStory Ep. 20 - Disney Theme Park History

[@welcometomylives]

Man, those 1937 dwarf costumes were actually pretty good. Especially in comparison to the Mickey and Minnie costumes.

[@izzyk15]

Oblivionhold I know right! The Mickey and Minnie 1937 costumes were pure nightmare fuel 😂. The dwarf costumes were actually pretty good, and almost on-par with what we have today!

[@Isuckatrapping]

Izzy’s Crazy Those were terrifying

[@stevegarcia3174]

How about those 1961 dwarves costumes I bet seeing those staring at you while you sleep give you nightmares

[@jasonhenry9168]

Maybe exempt the Doc costume.

[@joncid]

Those Dwarfs are always hard at work and yet they are rarely credited. I mean c’mon, they contributed in building Spaceship Earth. These guys are the definition of humble!

[@TheConwyfan]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘

[@amysmith1429]

Do the costume evolution of Ariel, I've heard she looked really different in the 80s

[@analiaandherfamily8474]

Hiii like meh account

[@alainmichael]

She debuted in 1989. So her costumes are changed in the 90s

I never went too Disneyland because I was born in the time zone of 2019 2010 2012 2017 2016 2020 and also my mom wrong take me because she lost a lot of money because she quit her job and y’all know Disneyland and disney world cost a lotta money

[@RottenPizzaProductions]

That Mickey impression was spot on.

[@dj5527_]

I Didn't Like.. Because I don't like mickey....

[@josecrane4132]

Dj Gaming; I know how you feel.

[@dmaskell92]

@AM S Wrong, Steamboat Willie was the original concept for Mickey. To be technical, he started it all.

[@dmaskell92]

@AM S I still love Disney and Mickey/Willie :)

[@dmaskell92]

​@笨拙Wolf Lover Oswald was a rabbit, and while similar wasn't the original concept for Mickey Mouse. They lost the rights to Oswald and scrapped the Rabbit idea for a bootleg mouse. Oswald didn't make them much money, it wasn't the huge break Walt was looking for.

[@Helloworld-ss5uv]

Grumpy and Dopey poking each other at 19:14 is one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen!☺️

[@ToucanLDM]

6:12 When you couldn't believe what you just saw so you take your head off and have your inner body double check the situation.

[@redrobloxxianyt849]

If this was a KZbin red series I would actually pay to watch this series cause it isn’t garbage 👍🏽 Dopey is the best dwarf

[@Trinabiss97]

Why would you say that? Let it be what it is. An amazing free show that we all love. Not everyone can afford a lot of extra stuff like KZbin red

[@MkR2398]

RedRobloxxianYT if you have YT Red, every video you watch gets money, regardless if they're monetized or not. That's the beauty of it, free shit gets money on top of paying for shit you'll never watch no matter what lmao

[@LeonelLAURE]

This is a great idea!

[@strawberry_octopus]

Grim2 Oh my gosh! Yes!

[@emilykeeble9321]

Amazing idea!!!!

[@forrestdupre87]

Could you please do THE WHITE RABBIT?

[@FreeSpiritPaulette]

This is one of the rare times where I- actually like the big headed costumes for a character (s) better than their present design. For the seven dwarves to me it just somehow feels like it fits more...

[@memethyst]

"this video is evidence that the 7 dwarves built spaceship earth" WELL...

[@strawberry_octopus]

It would make EPCOT about 100 times better if the 7 dwarves actually built it.

[@ianmichalski7997]

Actually it was built by some people called the seven dwafs.

[@abbycollins]

Ian Michalski yeah. Totally diffrent people

[@maxordman4100]

Amazing episode! The Seven Dwarfs are indeed very special characters. The old costumes are actually pretty nice. Certainly easier to make kids smile than the early versions of Mickey, Minnie, and Donald. It’s also really wild to find out that Dopey became the most famous dwarf. Lucky guy! Great work on this video!

[@littlegir123]

Even though it's finals week I will never miss my distory lesson

[@Plantster15]

it feels so weird hearing mickey talk about facebook and instagram

[@livvypotato3955]

Well, maybe Dopey would be able to wiggle his ears when articulated. As well as blinking and moving his mouth. Edit: oh wow. I have been noticed

[@xmikass]

These dwarfa looked so cute when they had these big heads :3

[@williamlopezsalas2599]

Grumpy The Dwarf is My Favorite Disney Character

[@DuncanCreates]

It's amazing to see how Disney has changed throughout the years. The footage at 5:52 is really something seeing everyone dressed like that. Great narration of this sir!

[@disinfinity]

One of my favorite series on youtube has a new episode! My day is made now.😁😁😁

[@TheFrogChannel]

Dopey out here lookin like the Keebler elf in the Christmas 2016 show

[@crispybutterballs1294]

I think the Not So Scary Halloween party costumes are my favorite. They all have such a cute and cuddly appearance. Another great video! My sister and I were so excited to see this ^^

[@magicalspooncat1721]

Crispy Butter Balls season 3

[@strawberry_octopus]

Some were creepy, some were crazy, but now it seems that the 7 dwarves are nothing but awesome. I love watching these videos. You do a great job! I learn all sorts of little things that I never would've thought to know! :)

[@strawberry_octopus]

Also, I think that the only reason they would need to articulate Dopey is to make him blink. I mean, it kind of makes sense that they leave him without articulation, but would they want him to blink? (Sorry if this came out weird and confusing.)

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

Just wanted to say, I love how you stepped up your game with that new animation and how you animated those pictures.

[@DistoryDan]

Thanks! I’m trying to get better. Little by little.

[@jordanvega1666]

I like to watch your videos before going to the disney parks, it makes me appreciate everything in a better way.

Thanks Jordan!

17:18 Okay, that is just so smart and cute. I love it!

[@thesavagechef]

I would run away from the Seven Dwarfs when they showed up, when I was a small child. They seemed huge and terrifying, their hideous heads and uselessly flopping arms were truly the stuff of nightmares. The Mad Hatter and the Three Little Pigs were just as frightening.

[@cecroadshows6449]

That was one of the best impressions of Mickey I've ever heard! 😃😃

[@Superrrsamm]

But why did grumpy never get the right color hat

[@DistoryDan]

The could never make up their minds with the colors. It drives me crazy. haha

[@Idiotic_B_Purcell]

Disney Dan like Tigger's nose being black rather than pink controversy? yea

[@clarikid]

Ikr. Like why? it's unnecessary

[@skartbrimpson3297]

[@clarikid]

It bothers me cause When I look at Disney, Think of extraordinary attention to detail and loyalty to source material. This is not loyal to source material

A Distory episode to end my night? Hell yeah! You did another fantastic job, Dan!

[@rinrinznh1336]

i have been waiting for this episode to come out!

[@yourworstnightmare4834]

Best Disney Dan episode ever.

[@yvonnerogers6429]

I'm loving this series on costumes, Dan! Watching the evolution of each character's look is just so darn fascinating! I'm thinking as we get closer to Wreck-it-Ralph 2 that you may want to do a rundown on the Princesses as they have a role in that film. Did Aurora go from the blue version of the dress over to pink in the parks at the same time she switched over in other media? (Man, can't believe Merryweather lost that fight!) I'd be curious to know as I grew up with Aurora in blue and today's kids always see in in pink. Thanks for all your hard work, Dan, and please give my thanks to the others on your team as well.

[@yvonnerogers6429]

An observation: the clip at 5:54 I'm thinking elicits joy from some children and horrified tears from other children. I mean, that's an image of Dopey up there with some of those early Mickey outfits for creepy factor, which I'm thinking was another factor in retiring the big-head costumes. Man, this stuff is interesting! Gotta love that old RCA TV, too! Again, thanks, Dan.

[@CiderDivider]

I love this series. My favourite has been the Peter Pan evolution!! Do you think there have been enough changes over the years from any other face characters that you’d like to do an episode on?

[@danaiahbacon9059]

Yay a other video of this and nice Mickey mouse voice

[@poisonedmofo-364]

It’s creepy watching these at night but interesting! Love this channel! Thank Dan!

WOW! Best video yet!!! Amazing production value on this one!!!

[@auraverse6656]

[@Anachronismgorl]

The thing I was most invested in through this whole thing is Happy's eyebrows.

[@saramcpike2820]

I already was loving this video, but then seeing Michael Landon at 12:06 - 12:20 or so made it even cooler! (not that the dwarfs aren't cool, of course. lol.)

[@kenzihenderson5258]

The version from the mine train ride is fantastic! There's your articulated dwarfs right there even if they aren't walking about the park

[@ianizer96]

I really really love Bashful, I think he’s my favorite dwarf. But now that you mentioned his hat was pointed upwards during the beginning of his modern day look I WISH it had remained like that, to still distinguish him from the other dwarfs and gosh it just looked so cool and cute!!

[@JosephRomano]

You’re welcome Disney Dan, you’re videos are always enjoyable:) Whenever I come back from work, I always see you evolution videos. P.S. Thanks for mentioning me in the comments 21:21

[@Music7Ada]

[@cassandrarodriguez1312]

I love the seven dwarfs there so amazing cute. Snow White and the dwarfs is one of my favorite Disney movies to watch and one thing grumpy and dopey are always my favorite dwarfs love you all 💜

Those 1955 Disneyland Dwarves costume characters look terrifying, especially with these dead-looking eyes...

[@berrypie11]

[@moirad3895]

Wait was the Mickey mouse animontronic from the Mickey musical attraction in the 70s repurposed for Philharmonic giftshop?! 😄😄 I was just in Disney last week and I was in that gift shop, the statue of Mickey in it looks exactly like the animontronic!!!

[@DistoryDan]

They certainly do look similar dont they!

[@mickeymouseproductions8977]

Nope, the animatronic is still safe and sound in the Walt Disney archives.

[@fantasmicultimate5189]

Great video ! But I thought Snow white the musical was replaced by Mickey and the Magical Map, and Mickey's Detective School was the one who didn't stay long...

[@DistoryDan]

It was. Shhhh. Haha. My bad.

Sadly, we'll never see Spectro Magic again. The floats are no longer in working condition.

[@josecrane4132]

I don't think they want to waste time to remake all the floats. Although magic kingdom doesn't have a nighttime parade. So it would make sense.

[@Trinabiss97]

The 1979 Dopey was horrifying. I can imagine being terrified of it as a kid. The only ones from that bit that looked halfway decent were Doc and Happy. Fr might have nightmares of the soulless Dopey tonight....

[@genesismillion]

My dad was one of the seven dwarves in the 80’s and 90’s consecutively for quite some years due to his stature fitting into those costumes since they were very particular. He has permanent damage from the head piece due to the weight of it on the shoulders for as long as it would be on at a time and for as long as he fulfilled that role. Chronic migraines,neck problems and back problems that have caused him a lot of turmoil. Pretty crazy.

And I got to meet all 7 at the Halloween party Sept of last year. It was fantastic to see all of them together!

[@hp932]

This is my favorite of your distory videos! I think my favorite of the costumes is the Shanghai Stage Show ones- I think it’s a perfect aesthetic combination of Disney’s dwarves and the dwarves of various mythologies. Of course, the SpectoMagic costumes will always hold a special place in my heart too, as that was my first Disney parade and Sneezy shook my hand during it :)

[@elsierose2303]

So there are more than seven dwarfs? Especially Dopey!
