Sleepy traps the fly in Snow White's glass coffin
The final chase of the Witch is planned out more or less as it will appear in the final film

The Seven Dwarfs are named Wheezy, Jumpy, Baldy, Grumpy, Happy, Doc and Sleepy - other dwarfs are also suggested, including Hickey, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Lazy, Puffy, Stuffy, Shorty, Wheezy, Burpy, Dizzy and Dopey.
