![]() It turns out Pete is up to his old tricks, and is kidnapping pilots mid-flight from a dirigible, which contains its own small town. Spoiler Alert: Mickey ends up defeating Pete in this one as well. The Mail Pilot Big Little Book was adapted from the comic strip version, which was adapted from the short. Since they had a significantly smaller amount of width in which to work, images had to be cropped. This of course altered the scene’s scope, however thanks to clever positioning, they made it work. Another space-saving technique saw the dialogue shifting from dialogue bubbles in the comic strip to having text on the left page and images on the right page in the Big Little Books. We were then shown the “entertainment scene” from the beloved film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This is the scene in which they all danced, and some sang, in the dwarfs’ cottage. The scene in the film ran roughly seven minutes in length. When artists had to draw that scene for the comics, it had been adapted to fit in one panel! When it came time for the Big Little Book version, more changes followed. Some of the art from the comics appeared to have been traced, only flipped horizontally. ![]() Another relatively large modification made was, Dopey spoke! “Let’s dance” was one of his lines from the entertainment scene. When the dwarfs first discover someone (or something) is in their room, and Dopey is elected to investigate, he verbalizes his findings. What would the Snow White story be without the Queen? Officially referred to as “The Evil Queen” by Disney, she was actually given a name for the printed stories, like the comics and the Big Little Book. Queen Grimhilde was her name, and she was just as menacing in print. In the Big Little Book, she kidnapped the prince and locked him in the dungeon. Another variation came after the Huntsman returned from his mission and advised the Queen that Snow White was dead.
