The moral of “The 7th Dwarf,” driven home by its diminutive hero and a dreadfully repetitive end-credits anthem, is that “size doesn’t matter.” It’s a crass (but kid-friendly!) formulation that also happens to be perfectly true: At half the length or twice the budget, this CG-animated musical mash-up of fairy tales would still be a pretty pathetic excuse for children’s entertainment, short on charm and utterly devoid of magic. A 2014 German production making a brief North American stopover in an English-dubbed version, the film offers a witless recombination of elements from classic Grimm stories and some of the bigger U.S. toon hits of recent vintage — a pandering strategy that seems unlikely to translate into the box office equivalent of true love’s kiss.
