I guess I should clarify: I'm a biologist. I know what achondroplasia is. I know you have different forms of "little people". It's not like I haven't met a few, in my time. I also know what bloody dwarfism in animals is. Grumpy cat, for example.
However that does not change the origin of the word, or the fact that the dwarves in Snow White were not human...
Come on, people. Did anyone, as a kid, assume they were normal "little people", rather than mythical magical beings??
The fricking evil queen literally uses magic, FFS... The entire story revolves around it. It's called fantasy. Dwarves and all... :-/
Yeah, I did, they don't look anything BUT human in the movie. I never considered that these were supposed to be anything other than normal little dudes living in the woods and working in a diamond mine. I never thought that they were out of the ordinary in any other way.
Where is there any indication in that movie that they are NOT human? They have normal ears, no tails, nothing inhuman about them at all.
