YMMV / The 7D

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Considering the creators' previous work, it's debatable whether or not these are accidental:
    • This line from Queen Delightful sounds... rather suggestive when taken out of context:
    "You can be naughty with me, you can be naughty with my kingdom, but you CANNOT BE NAUGHTY WITH MY DOG!"
    • In "Big Rock Candy Flim-Flam" after Starchbottom lists a bunch of weird flavors there are for Fizz Bop Rocket Pops, finishing with carpet, Queen Delightful says "Ooh, I love carpet!"
  • Broken Base: With people who work on the show saying The 7D is meant to take place before the events of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, fans are split between those who enjoy the idea of the show taking place before the film, and those who think the show works better as a separate universe from Snow White.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Of the dwarfs, Bashful. Mostly due to his Adorkable nature. Also, Sneezy.
    • Minor characters such as Buckets and Uncle Humidor are also popular with several fans.
  • Esoteric Happy Ending: "Giggleberries". The dwarfs had eaten too many Giggleberries and brought them to an ultra serious ceremony, and start feeding them to everyone in sight which sends everyone into hysterical fits of laughter, including Queen Delightful who was supposed to look good for the ceremony. Grumpy, Dopey and Gizelle show up with the I've-Got-The-Blues berries, too much of which... well, give people the blues. The episode ends with half the people at the ceremony happy and the other half sad. And Dopey neighing (Don't ask).
  • Foe Yay Shipping: Queen Delightful and Hildy Gloom due to the latter's obsession with taking the throne. Hildy gets her name from the character that Queen Delightful is based on, Grimhilde. Hildy being a witch and Delightful being the queen almost makes them two halves of the original character.
  • Fridge Brilliance: In "The Queen's Quest" was the Magic Mirror genuinely fooled by Grim's disguise or was she just pretending to not recognise him and went along with it because she knew Grim would just change her back when asked?
  • Growing the Beard: The show's plot develops starting from the thirteenth episode of the first season onwards as it breaks out of its early Disney Junior mold. The second season on the other hand delivered more interesting stories.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In the episode "Delight Me, Delight me not", Bashful has a Near-Death Experience with a cave-in the Glooms accidentally caused. When the rest of the 7D arrive at the scene, they think he got crushed by the rubble. Then in the episode "Planks, but No Planks", it's revealed that The 7D had an extra member, who they thought had died from falling into a canyon.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In the episode "7 Frogs", the 7D, including Doc, were turned into frogs by the Frog Witch. Later on, his voice actor Bill Farmer would voice another frog, Hop Pop from another Disney show Amphibia. Bonus points for Hop Pop's voice sounding exactly like Doc's, but with a southern accent.
  • Heartwarming Moments: When Hildy accidentally renders herself elderly in "Water Ya Doin', Dopey?", Grim assures her that he still loves her, and when the fountain of youth was destroyed after the episode's climax, he ages himself up so they can both be old.
    • In "Oh Happy Grumpy", Grumpy maroons himself on an island out of fear of getting turned into a glob of cheese. Bashful decided to go talk to the woman who cursed him because he couldn't take the thought of one of his friends shunning himself from society to avoid a Forced Transformation curse.
    • Grumpy telling Happy that he actually kind of missed his singing in "Whose Voice Is It Anyway?" Happy is touched by this.
    • Happy changing Grim's song to Hildy in "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yeti". Granted, his new lyrics are horrifyingly saccharine, and he gets turned into a mime for his trouble, but it's the thought that counts and shows that he really cares about the Glooms' relationship even though they try to destroy the 7D and their allies.
    • In “The Jollywood Games” after Grim won, his request for the queen is that Bashful gets his request after saving him in the previous race and that he would’ve done the same for him.
    • In “A Royal Pain in the Castle”, Grumpy gets Drunk with Power and the rest of the 7D refuse to come if he rings the Bing-Bong Bell again. Bashful is among the dwarfs who were driven crazy with Grumpy’s consistent bell ringing. Despite this, he was actually willing to go back to help him. Unfortunately the others prevent him from doing so.
      • Happy and Dopey also stuck with Grumpy’s side despite the latter getting Drunk with Power.
  • He Really Can Act: She Really Can Voice Act: Kelly Osbourne is a really good voice actor for a first-timer.
    • While Snazzy Shazam pretty much has Leigh-Allyn Baker's regular voice, she's practically unrecognisable as Queen Delightful.
    • In "Bummer Vacation", Ozzy Osbourne puts in a great performance as Hildy's father.
  • Ho Yay: Grumpy and Happy have their moments:
    • Happy mentions that the Nicely Done tights flatter Grumpy's figure in "Nicely Done and the 7D".
    • Grumpy accidentally gets into Happy's bed in "Take Me To Your Grumpy", which Happy doesn't seem to mind.
    • In "Water You Doin, Dopey?", when Grumpy accidentally drinks from the Fountain of Truth, and starts to say, "Happy and I-", Happy shuts him up and tells him to keep it to himself.
  • I Knew It!: With Hildy being voiced by Kelly Osbourne, many people guessed that Ozzy and Sharon would guest star as Hildy's parents. They do.
  • Jerkass Woobie: It's hard not to feel at least a little sorry for Hildy in "Surpise!" when she tries to make friends and everyone she approaches runs away, except for a cow.
  • Moe: Bashful. Also, Buckets.
    • The 7D as five-year-olds in “What are you, Five?”. Special mentions go to Bashful, Happy, Dopey and Sneezy as children.
  • Moral Event Horizon: In "Whose Voice Is It Anyway?" the Glooms actually attempt to kill Queen Delightful. They also tried to kill everyone by sending a flood in the beginning of "Hildy the Good".
  • Most Wonderful Sound: Happy's singing.
  • Nausea Fuel: Grim eating the pizza Sneezy sneezed on in "Knick Knack Paddy Whack".
  • Periphery Demographic: Despite being aimed at younger kids it has a decent teen and adult fanbase. It is aired on Disney XD rather than Junior after all. Additionally, it is liked by fans of Animaniacs due to it sharing the same staff including the series' creator, Tom Ruegger.
  • Rooting for the Empire: No one is necessarily rooting against the 7D, but the Glooms just steal the show, in part due to being Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains and being just as hilarious and likable as the heroes.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: While general consensus is that Season 2 is enjoyable, there are people who feel like Grumpy got too much focus in the season while other characters were underutilized. His interactions with Happy are of note.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Many fans of the original Snow White were not happy about the new art style of the series.
  • Unpopular Popular Character: Grumpy and the Glooms are the least popular characters in the show but the most popular out of the show. Sometimes Grumpy can be unbearable, though, whenever an episode focuses on him.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Pretty much all of "The Jollywood Jam".
  • The Woobie: Lord Starchbottom.
    • A few of the 7D have their moments as well, too.
