Snow White and the seven genetically smaller humans.

Her seven workers' diminutive stature and idiosyncrasies cannot be referred to in a disparaging way. "Sleepy" is only that way inclined due to an undiagnosed medical condition, and it's not cool to bring it up. And "Sneezy" wasn't vaccinated as a kid, but it was his parent's choice so it has to be respected.

They'd all have been diagnosed for their various ailments before the movie started and spend the entire time overdiscussing them

Grumpy - schizophrenic
Happy - daytime drinking problem
Sleepy - Narcoleptic
Bashful - anxiety issues
Sneezy - coke problem
Dopey - was born to anti-vaxxer parents
Doc - compulsive liar. Not actually a doctor.
