It looks like dopey... I feel rather sad now that dopey was hidden by paint from the kids and they got the creepy stuff instead

That is painted ON the wall. My friend & I visited Pennhurst last night got really interested, so he talked to his mom about it. She used to work there, and painted that dwarf, and many other murals.

It looks like Dopey escaped. He must have seen those horrible pictures in the basement playroom and gotten himself peeled away FAST!!!

Maybe they changed the room into something else and HAD to paint over it.

This cartoon character looks like one of the seven dwarfs from the original Walt Disney animation film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".

He sort of looks like an EVIL version of Dopey.

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be,) Disney threw a fit a while back about schools and hospitals painting murals of Disney characters without obtaining permission ( which never would have been given. ) In fact, I believe there were several lawsuits relating to such. I don't know whether Pennhurst was one of the involved, but since Dopey here has been painted over, it certainly seems plausible. . . then again, I believe the building had other, later uses as well, so the paintjob could have been because of that.

Why were there so many children there? Did parents just drop off their crippled, deaf, and/or blind children here? This is so sad th think that these children had to live there and endure so much coldness!

This reminds me of a story about one of the Seven Dwarves, that was painted on the wall at Camarillo State Mental Hospital in Cali. Story goes that there was an evil presence in this room, and when it was pissed off, the painted of Grumpy on the wall would change and have a sinister look on its face. That freaks me out! All these happy Disney paintings just don't belong in this hell hole of a place, or any of these institutions for that matter!
