Headless Dwarves Provide Candy

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was based on Snow White, a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. But most likely it wasn’t any sense of loyalty that drove Disney to have Germans make this Snow White set marked Made In Germany & WPD (Walt Disney Productions); no, this vintage set, was made in Germany because the Germans made kick-ass paper mache figural candy containers.

Dwarf heads, dwarf heads, rip them off — yum!

Via.

In the 1930s he was. Now he’s dead.

Not that I’m certain the poodle was a “he.” It’s too furry to see.
