Mickey's first appearance in a feature film and perhaps his most famous role. As the sorcerer's apprentice, Mickey's that little guy in all of us who dreams that some day he too can make it big. Unfortunately, his dreams are bigger than his abilities, as he borrows his mentor's forbidden magic hat and enchants a broomstick to do his work for him. Sure that he's mastered the sorcerer's art, Mickey relaxes into a nap. Fantasizing that he's in control of the very forces of nature, he's rudely awakened to a flood of reality; even the simple broomstick is beyond his control. Realizing too late that there's no shortcut to greatness, Mickey learns you've got to slosh your way to the top one bucket at a time.
Mickey's most famous role was something of a comeback for the mouse, originally
planned as a special short subject. But since it turned out to be so elaborate
(and expensive), it was combined with other segments into the feature
film "Fantasia." His image was modified for this feature film debut
to include eye pupils and a more three-dimensional appearance (adapted
from an illustration by Ward Kimball).
