Fantasia
Although The Sorcerer's Apprentice was already a popular concert piece, it was brought to a
much larger audience through its inclusion, as one of eight animated shorts based on classical
music, in the 1940 Walt Disney animated concert film Fantasia. In the film segment, also
called "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", Mickey Mouse plays the role of the apprentice. Disney
had acquired the music rights in 1937 when he planned to release a separate Mickey Mouse
film, which, at the suggestion of Leopold Stokowski, was eventually expanded into Fantasia.

Stokowski's version for the soundtrack of Fantasia remains one of the most famous.
Although too early for high fidelity, the performance was recorded using multi-tracks and
was the first use of stereophonic sound in a film. It is the only part of the film for which
Stokowski conducted a studio orchestra, rather than the Philadelphia Orchestra.
In terms of the storyline of the film segment, the sorcerer's final anger with his apprentice
which appears in Fantasia does not appear in Goethe's source poem, Der Zauberlehrling. The
popularity of the musical piece in Fantasia led to it being used again, in its original form, in
Fantasia 2000.
