Via Telegraph.co.uk: Pantomime renames dwarfs to avoid breaching Disney copyright, A Christmas pantomime has renamed the dwarfs in its production of Snow White, to avoid breaching Disney copyright:
"Doc, Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy, Happy and Bashful have been ditched from the show at The Albert Halls theatre in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
Their roles have been taken by a crack team of dwarfs going by the names Goody, Loopy, Lazy, Growler, Noisy and Shabby.
But the seventh dwarf – Sneezy – has been allowed to keep his part, apparently because Disney failed to copyright his name."
