7 Wise Dwarfs appearing on Disk 1. 7 Wise Dwarfs 7 Wise Dwarfs (aka Seven Wise Dwarfs and Walt Disney's 7 Wise Dwarfs) is a 1941 four-minute educational short animated film made by the Walt Disney Studios, for the National Film Board of Canada. The film was released theatrically on December 12, 1941 as part of a series of four films directed at the Canadian public to learn about war bonds during the Second World War. "7 Wise Dwarfs" was directed by Richard Lyford and featured the voice talent of Pinto Colvig as "Doc". "7 Wise Dwarfs" features the seven dwarfs from Disney's
Jiminy Cricket crickets, which are black or dark brown, with very long antennae and he dresses like a gentleman from the 19th century. Since his debut in "Pinocchio", he has become a recurring iconic Disney character and has made numerous other appearances. The character's name is a play on the exclamation "Jiminy Cricket!", a minced oath for "Jesus Christ" – which itself was uttered in "Pinocchio"s immediate Disney predecessor, 1937's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" by the seven dwarfs themselves. Another example occurs in the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz", wherein Dorothy (Judy Garland) cries, "Oh! Oh! Jiminy Crickets!" when
