Oh Happy Grumpy (The 7D 1001 Animations)

Writer: Paul Rugg

Date: February 6, 2016

Synopsis: "Grumpy must change his ways."

The dwarves all have unique personalities that make them relatable, and Grumpy shows it off well with episodes like this. This episode centers on Grumpy leading the other dwarves to give a statue to Queen Delightful when he accidentally insults a witch. He then gets cursed by her, and has to maintain a cheerful disposition, or he'll turn into a pile of cheese. No matter what incarnation, Grumpy is the jerk with a heart of gold, and it's no exception here. He's essentially a representation of the everyday person who tries to keep his temper under control, which makes him sympathetic even when his friends inadvertently annoy him. A lot of the humor lies in the various ways he tries to calm down, which are hilarious. It ties into a nice moral on controlling your anger. I think it's a good episode.

Side Note: The witch is voiced by Tress MacNeille.
