An interesting point is, however, that the name Humbert does not appear on screen in Disney’s Snow White. The Huntsman was named Humbert in some publicity materials.

Thank you, Jansy! Yes, I pointed out a few years ago that the name of the huntsman in Disney's Snow White is Humbert. I also confirmed with Dmitri Nabokov, before his death, that Nabokov had seen the film immediately after its release in France. Dmitri's parents took him to see it for his fourth birthday -- it was the first movie he ever saw. (My conference paper is not appeared in print yet.)

I remember Beth Sweeney presenting a paper about Humbert's name and Disney's
"Snow White" (perhaps related to the legend, too) a few years ago at the
MLA.
I wish she would send her comment to the List also, not only to Chernov's
page, should my recollection prove to be right!
