Produced after the 1937 success of Walt Disney's Snow White, the first full-length animated film and the first of many by Walt Disney.


The Pepys game was also issued in French and German editions. You can read more about the background to the game and the Pears Soap promotion in Rex Pitts' feature: The Story of Pepys Card Games at World of Playing Cards.


An unnumbered "4" card featuring the Home of the Seven Dwarfs was used by Pepys on the cover of a Contract Bridge Score Card, see here.
