7 Dwarves: The Forest Is Not Enough

Hansel and Gretel are wandering the deep forest when they are frightened by a disgusting, humanlike creature. They manage to slip away but the encounter hints at the danger that will later affect Snow White. This meeting introduces The Evil One as the looming threat in the tale.

Bubi follows the creature and watches him dance around a fire, singing about his real name. The moment of revelation hints at a power tied to knowing someone’s true identity. Bubi's discovery foreshadows the quest to uncover The Evil One's name.

The Evil One arrives at Snow White's castle and immediately claims Snow White's baby as his own. The royal setting shifts the conflict from the forest to the palace. Snow White's maternal safety becomes the central goal as danger closes in.

The day before the calamity, Spliss rescues The Evil One from a trap. In return, The Evil One grants him a wish but imposes a price: Snow White's child will belong to him unless the name is revealed. A tense bargain tightens the stakes for everyone involved.

Snow White seeks to undo the contract, and The Evil One agrees to relinquish his claim if someone can reveal his real name within 48 hours. The ticking clock drives the search for a name into motion. The future of Snow White's child hangs in the balance.

Snow White visits the dwarves' cabin, but only Bubi remains, and he accuses her of responsibility for the current predicament. He explains that, long ago, she visited the dwarves seeking a husband with a successful career, a choice that helped trigger the present trouble.

Snow White asks Bubi to reunite the seven dwarves and to locate The Evil One's real name. Bubi begins rallying the scattered companions who once kept watch over the forest and the realm.

Cookie, Cloudy and Sunny run an inn; Speedy is a firefighter; Ralfie brews; Tschakko deals with pests. Bubi convinces them to join Snow White's quest to uncover the name. Their diverse skills provide a broad range of help.

The Wise Grey is the dwarves' only possible ally, but he has gone to The Fishing Palace in another world. The group sets out to find him, hoping he can guide them toward discovering The Evil One's name.

The dwarves discover the queen's magical mirror, which transports them to the other world: modern Germany. They prepare to navigate a new realm in search of clues and allies there.

The Evil One arrives at the candy house of the witch, who is the former queen and suffers from memory problems. He writes Rumpelstiltskin on a piece of paper and hides it in an envelope inside the conjuring book. Snow White senses the threat to her child growing closer.

The witch uses her crystal ball to learn of the dwarves' mission and sends the shapeshifting Evil One back toward the other world to thwart their efforts. The plan heightens the danger and complicates the rescue.

The Wise Grey appears in a fish and chips stand and confirms he knows The Evil One but not his real name. He directs the dwarves to search the candy house for the true name.

The dwarves travel back to their world via a magic mirror at the railway station. They head to the candy house to seize the envelope with The Evil One's real name but are tricked into taking the wrong one.

Bubi finally speaks up and reveals the real name: Rumpelstiltskin, which he had known all along. The revelation reshapes the dwarves' understanding and sets the stage for the next moves. They also encounter Brummboss, who has become a king and asks to rejoin as a dwarf, but the group declines since there are already seven.
