The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Fantasia 1940

[squerintain]

This is my favorite segment of Fantasia no doubt

[beastdude3255]

they should just put the lazy song by bruno mars

[Bluetooth6483]

Yes, a striking and creepy allegory of today's climate situation: Humanity in dire trouble!!!

[abbiiee99]

I have to listen to this for homework -.-

[MrAchilleez]

Do what the top comment guy says. It's fucking sweet.

[TheClarksonFan]

The animation on this looks like it was a lot later than 1940

[eclipsesonic]

@JohnyKimbled I was just doing some experimenting really. Glad it turned out well. Lol.

[cfnjofa]

like this if you r in Academic Decathlon and freaked out when you saw it in the Music section, I KNOW I DID!!!!

[saretardedfilms]

5:43 DIE BROOM! DIE!

[garythepencil]

this scene is a metaphor for the dangers of a rogue AI

[eclipsesonic]

I thought this was quite cool:

1. Pause at 5:51 and mute the video.

2. Open up a new tab, and type in "Mind Heist - Zack Hemsey (Inception Trailer Music)" into YouTube and pause at 0:00.

3. Play them both at the same time.

Mind blown!!

[LordWingDeath]

@eclipsesonic HOLY SHET!!! it fits!!!! dude your amazing!!

[TheABT2]

@eclipsesonic You're a genius. :D

[MrEvanp]

@eclipsesonic OMFG wow

[Carbon762]

@eclipsesonic You realize playing 2 videos in 2 separate tabs at the exact same time is impossible, right?

[eclipsesonic]

@Carbon762 That is true. But, a second off doesn't make so much difference.

[deathbyillusion]

@eclipsesonic I like the music with it it made it more epic!

[TheJazzyTrumpet]

@eclipsesonic 

That

Is

So

Creepy

[EdgyXD]

@eclipsesonic Now that is pretty incredible. Unfortunately, I cannot embed it :(

[beastdude3255]

@eclipsesonic dang that so sick

[crownburgersrock12]

this one was my favorite!! :)

[NoiseLTD]

Poem by Goethe, music by Dukas

[009DOEMAN]

This remains a masterful work. This was drawn by hand, each frame. When I first saw it in the 1970's it was as dramatic and beautiful then as it is today. Disney was a genius and a pioneer in animation.

[villi1997]

to be honest, i kinda like the jerry bruckheimer version

[Eurounyous]

This is created in 1940?

[MrToddino]

@Eurounyous mm hmm srange isnt it

[FerraTiKarinaNeil]

In the original poem, the apprentice tries to stop the broomstick by chopping it with an axe! So, it's also paying tribute to the original work!

[hk47829]

two people got drowned in water

[zxscd]

Did he......ACTUALLY MURDERED A BROOMSTICK?!

[FerraTiKarinaNeil]

@zxscd You can't murder a broomstick; they're not alive!

[zxscd]

@FerraTiKarinaNeil Then why sensor it? Well....It wasn't sensorship at all...But the shadows and stuff and....Oh you know XD

[juresaiyan]

8:27 - makes you shit bricks...

[YDdraigGoch22]

If you want something done right, then do it yourself.

[cleo715]

This clip used to scare the living crap out of me when they used to air it on The Disney Channel (I grew up in the early 80s, they still broadcasted "old-school" cartoons back then). Just until recently I watched Fantasia in its entirety again: what a visionary concept! Truly a masterpice!

[numstuck]

this is the scariest thing ive ever seen!

[comprimiser]

6:15 Mickeys like "Oh crap theres that music again!"

[Gaaraluver227]

Wen i saw Yen Sid on Kingdom Hearts 2, I almost fell out the chair from excitement :)

[ddshane]

That's what Mickey gets for being so dang lazy.

[dementedvillian]

2 people ought to die in a burning hole. In a blizzard. During a flood. While being hit on the head with a hammer

[cattoo444]

@dementedvillian agreed!

[MissDuracel]

I've read the original story in ancient Greek ö very funny! And Great memories!

[lj1941]

I, at 70 years am just now starting to appreciate just how great these master were!

[SuperTheguy1234]

i am having a major brainfart as of now, so can anyone tell me the name of the main song in this piece of art?

[FrankTheShyGuy]

@SuperTheguy1234 Uh...the Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas.

[SuperTheguy1234]

@FrankTheShyGuy thanks!

also, if you were stunned at my stupidity, just remember that a scene's name won't tell you the song. i thought the title referred to the actual picture, not the music. goodbye

[FrankTheShyGuy]

@SuperTheguy1234 It's no big deal.

[FrankTheShyGuy]

@SuperTheguy1234 Also, I understand what you mean by that. Although, I already knew the name of the song beforehand.

[WolfWoot]

good stuff.

except the title should be changed to "why we don't use macros"

[MerWargs]

art. simply put...it's art.

[Soccerwrapup]

How the hell are there dislikes!? A brilliant classic which stands the test of time.

[Phersephoie]

@Soccerwrapup It was probably the Jonas Brothers feeling the competition

[PIKACHU49386]

According to Wikipedia, Disney called Fantasia a mistake... How is this a masterpiece a mistake??!! My school was right, you can't trust Wikipedia, because I don't see how that's possible...

[TheKeeshu]

@PIKACHU49386 Did the old disney use to say that about all their old movies? If so they could be a bunch of perfectionists, making it so nothing is ever good enough. =p If you look hard enough, you'll find mistakes with anything.

I didn't read the wiki much, but it said fantasia was originally for reviving mickey mouse, and pretty much he's depicted as a sorceror's apprentice that fails at magic. Some companies would view that as bad publicity for their character, making the movie a mistake.

[Alex00the00Great]

Its amazing that after all these years I still get the same tingle watching this as I did when I was six. :D

[threehappypenguins]

That sorcerer would get arrested today for spanking Mickey on the bum.

[SpoiledLogic]

@threehappypenguins ha!

[marmiteyousuck94]

why do i love the hoards of brooms so much??!! :D

[FatPizza6912]

for 1940 this picture looks so amazing

[bat5x]

The Sorcerer = Moses?

[JimFattoo7]

can't believe after all these years...I watch this and still fear the sorcerer XD

A masterpiece =]

[JohnLuckPickard141]

Only the sorcer and his apprentice disliked this.

[VXXVXXXxXXxXXXXVXXV]

@JohnLuckPickard141 agreed

[gargnob]

Lesson to be learned: don't put mice as apprentices...

[SuperStinsley]

animation today can't hold a candle to classic animation like this, adventure time with finn and jake is bullcrap!!

[horseluver131415]

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a classic! It has the music that most every can remember when it comes to great music.

[piplupmaster12345678]

Birth by sleep sent me here :)

[yungmelly]

@piplupmaster12345678 how?? i dont remember fantasia in it

[yungmelly]

@piplupmaster12345678 nvm i just remembered lol

[Thisismyusername1010]

I love how Disney took this one short and built an entire movie around it!

[Jdeadevil]

@Thisismyusername1010 Well, I think this more like inspired it, I read a Wiki Answers page saying that movie was based on a poem.

[srnickthelionhearted]

two people failed sorcerer's school

[31operafan]

I'm not sure, but I think seeing Mickey chop up that broom scared the sh*t out of me as a kid. I wasn't expecting someone like Mickey to do that sort of thing.

[Serena2009ification]

@31operafan

Poor you! It was a broom. You must have been a more sensitive kid than I was, and that is REALLY saying something.

[31operafan]

@Serena2009ification It was probably because it happened so unexpectedly, it startled me.

[mermaidamp]

This piece is heard on an ornament that looks like Mickey Mouse's wizard hat. YenSid is an evil guy. He wants 2 ruin Mickey's life. YenSid is Disney spelled backwards.

[gabbie62]

LOVE it!

[Serena2009ification]

Sorry, Mozart lovers! :P This is proof that Neo-Classical beats Classical.

[ampmfm78]

@Serena2009ification But Romantis is better

[Serena2009ification]

@ampmfm78

You and I think alike. :) I love Tchaikovsky and Grieg.

[AgApE010]

So can someone explain to me the story behind Fantasia? There seems to be so many different parts (or versions?) like with the Rite of Spring, for example, going through creation and the dinosaurs.

[Serena2009ification]

@AgApE010

It is not like a regular Disney movie, it was dubbed by Disney as a 'concert feature'. They took lots of different pieces of music, and they animated a different story for each of those pieces. It is a little bit more than two hours long. and it's really pretty. I highly recommend you watch it---it is one of those really good films that they just don't make like they used to anymore.

[mermaidamp]

My parents and I have a Disney ornament that plays this piece.

[GilliganKrueger0829]

@mermaidamp where did you get it, tell me please

[xaviarsly]

i miss how Disney was about art watching this one more time makes me feel

warm inside thanks for uploading it

[TheNinthDoctor]

So many memories...

[bboyAdubs]

i don't know how mickey could fall asleep with such intense music playing.

[comprimiser]

Today is Walt's Birthday!!! Happy birthday Walt!!!!!!!!

[jkshoujk]

Man, the animation and music are so well done, harmonized and synchronized it's hard to tell which came first. Like IchHabDenKlick said, this is a work of art.

[deathdude650]

Yensid I only recently found out his name. It's Disney backwards

[silverheartlugia2000]

makes me wonder if epic mickey is the reason yen sid took him as an apprentice

[13jberk]

not gonna lie when i was little i had nightmares about brooms... haha

[mavalos88]

Lol this scene scared me so much when I was little :(, the music is scary at parts.

[meadowfabricsdotcom]

I can't believe this was made decades before I was even born.

So much better than modern Disney films, I don't even know where to start. It's like the difference between a great oil painting and a crap photo.

[bandboy11111]

HOW COULD SO MUCH AS ONE PERSON DISLIKE THIS MOVIE, UNLESS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TRUE MUSIC IS. YOU CAN NOT KNOW WHAT MUSIC IS BY JUST THE STUFF NOW (I am being very kind by saying most of the slop they put on the Radio is music and not just hateful potery) YOU NEED TO GO BACK IN TIME AND SEE WHERE THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO TODAY CAME FROM. Lets look at rap, rap is a divadent from R&B, which got its start in jazz, which was the "Negro music" of the early 20th century...

[bandboy11111]

@bandboy11111 part 2. And Jazz got started in the south by people like louie armstrong(No not the astronaught, he wrote songs such as "What a wonderful world") And Duke ellington (So meny songs you cant even begin to write) and jazz started from Slave songs sung in the south before the 13th amendment. The folks today have forgotten their roots in music, yes alot know of the beatles, but I'd bet you a good 60-70% of them have no Idea who people like Gershwin, Souza, or Copland are...

[bandboy11111]

@bandboy11111 And that is sad, to forget where the music we love came from is just like to forget the music it self. I mean not to know any of the big three people in American music alone should shame you to the core, but when you dislike a piece of music as marvouls as this, you are dislikeing music, and there for art in a whole

[pbscraze]

Lesson to all sorcerers. "Take ANYTHING enchanted such as a hat or a magic wand with you at ALL TIMES!!!!"

[FLOZOEY]

Whats happened to Disney :( ?

[MOTHMAN225]

I have write a paper and do a presentation for a history of animation class, and I picked Fantasia. For my presentation, I will show my class this piece. Why? Because it defines the whole brilliance of animation, music, lighting + mood, and a new design of Mickey that we have now been accustomed to. Than you for posting this! I'll have to use this as my link for the presentation's viewing.

[moninblue]

@MOTHMAN225 do you mind sharing your presentation?? =)

[DoOdLeBaKa]

I grew up with this movie, and it's also this movie that made me always want to become an artist. This is absolutely beautiful, and beautiful is the only way to describe such an amazing piece like this. If only it could be appreciated more like it always and forever should. It's history.

[will320]

Superb

[31operafan]

At the end, Mickey's like "Oh, shit..." XD This was the first time anyone got to see Mickey's familiar design (eyes with pupils). He seems to be more expressive that way.

[31operafan]

I used to be afraid of this part. I still don't know why. I think it was after I saw Mickey in his sorcerer's costume in those opening logos to some videos I had. I watched it again for the first time in many, many years, and thought, "Why was I afraid of this?! This is AWESOME!" My response to it surprised me. I wasn't scared at all this time. In fact, I was actually enjoying it! :) YouTube cured my fear!

[AQWVertWheeler703]

DUDE WTF NO SOUND >:(

[AQWVertWheeler703]

DUDE WTF WHY NO SOUND



[reeding]

he shoulda just chopped up the buckets

[ninjadude17]

Ah the sweet memories. Makes me glad I grew up watching this and not The Jonas Brothers. THIS is music my dear little children!

[anoecker]

@ninjadude17 truth.

[Phersephoie]

@ninjadude17 couldn't agree more...we'll have a lot of work on our hands preventing our children from growing up with blsht...much more than our pearants had to deal with...

[alphabetswap]

Yen Sid dominates, yo.

[TheSilenceStorm]

The end always make me smile XD when the sorcers hit Minckey with the broom XD ahah ç___ç i hate the nostalgia!!! Disney come back!! ç_ç

[mutscot]

Classic!, i´ve never notice how sad this scene is. It ends so bad for the poor Mickey.

Should make more movies like Fantasia. 2000 one was spectacular with the whales and the jazz shorts.

[wolfdragon1209]

for me, the real one is better

[Symphonia30]

Classic masterpiece

[DoItLikePat]

First of all it's ingenious how Dukas brought to live Goethe's poem, and then it's ingenious how Disney succeeded in making the film look like the music was actually written for it !

[ritsfata]

At last, the real Sorcerer's Apprentice.

[IchHabDenKlick]

old disney is real art, hard work and passion and it is sooo beautiful! but now its all about earning money with what they do..it makes me sad! (sry for my english, I'm german)

[1000musica]

@IchHabDenKlick Du kannst ruhig in deutsch schreiben!

[IchHabDenKlick]

@1000musica

ist wahrscheinlich besser, ja :D

[Funkipotato]

@1000musica all i know is that ruhig means smooth (cause thats on my music sheet for a song) and deutsh means german. so i think you are saying you can speak fluent german?

[1000musica]

@Funkipotato What I wrote was a figure of speech in German and the word “ruhig” doesn’t mean “smooth” or “fluent”, better is in English “by all means” or “feel free”. I said this because the girl is German and me too. Greetings from Germany

[ryoushii]

@1000musica Actually, "ruhig" would be calm or quiet or peaceful, as the noun root is Ruhe, or calm.

[Symphonia30]

@IchHabDenKlick I know how you feel

[GilliganKrueger0829]

@IchHabDenKlick don't sweat it, i know exactly what you mean. i just watched this full movie about an hour ago for the first time in over 8 years and loved it. nowadays disney is all about visuals and setpieces, they forgot about the story and the characters. i'm sure walt disney would wanna kill someone if he saw the way his company was run today

[Cedinator145]

@IchHabDenKlick grade weil du aus deutschland bist solltest du gut englisch sprechen!

[IchHabDenKlick]

@Cedinator145

Ich denke, jeder hat verstanden was ich sagen wollte. Das ist alles, was ich wollte und hier geht es nicht darum, wer welche Sprache gut spricht oder nicht.

[CaptainRaccoonWhitly]

@IchHabDenKlick Not entirely. Walt Disney Animation Studios, Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar still care about quality (even though the former two have had their ups-and-downs.) The animated department has actually had a resurgence in quality as of late, thanks to Lasseter's help. The rest...I can agree with, though.

[IchHabDenKlick]

@CaptainRaccoonWhitly

of course they care about quality but I think..mhh..the speacial 'heart's blood' is missing if you know what I mean :D

[BiShBrAt]

@IchHabDenKlick thats not true. disney movies are still killin it. stop crying

[IchHabDenKlick]

@BiShBrAt

ok ok I'm not crying anymore ;)

[BiShBrAt]

@IchHabDenKlick i must have a way with words!! xoxoo baby dont cry

[gamerboy49]

@IchHabDenKlick Guten Tag. Ich lehre mich, wie Deutsch zu sprechen. Wie gehts?

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

In fairness to modern disney they've managed to hold onto some integrity in regards to the 90s, Pixar, Kingdom Hearts and other stuff

[InvaderZim897]

@CardCaptorDeadpool I'm glad someone finally said that besides me. I get tired of all the "good old days" people acting like they're 80 years old and ignoring all the good Disney-associated stuff that was made fairly recently. I mean, I agree that Disney used to be better and that some of the movies they've made in recent years were... mediocre... but you can't just say "It's dead, I don't care how hard they try now."

[notsowise379]

The modern disney is just exploiting it's former fame to sell some rubbish like high school musical and Hannah Montana, if I were Walt Disney i would burn the company myself rather than let those crackpots ruin its legacy.

[hammyhammy22]

I don't know if anybody has already said this but the Wizard's name is Yensid which is Disney spelt backwards.

[momoandmiz]

I can't believe they're making a movie of this. >:U

[busheyrj]

@momoandmiz the story, not fantasia's take on it. The story is centuries old

[MrKendra96]

quando ero piccola lo guardavo e sinceramente alm primo impatto mi spaventò un po'! hahahaha!! perchè come genere è un genere particolare nella storia della disney!(on the pixar story it is a gener particular bacause it is!)

[SuperSealMan777]

who ever disliked this has no soul and will die alone in hell

[TheFlamingDoh]

@SuperSealMan777 No he will have the other person who disliked it with him.

[DelenaFan101]

If it wasnt for the magic, then music, happily ever afters and mickey and his friends, disney would'nt be what it is today :)

[shortcutLinchen]

I like that combination of J.W. von Goethe and the classic Disney cartoon :D

[buzzkillington1927]

i totally agree... classic disney will never be as it used too :(

[decadentfudgesauce]

8:56, child abuse! (or at least Mickey abuse). One should never beat bad children with brooms! We'll need to send some PC animators back in time to clean this classic up to today's standards. Maybe throw in a hip hop soundtrack while we're at it...o wait nic cage just did that nvm.

[ccipollini1984]

I always thought Mickey was a total prick to that poor broom. what a slave driver.

[golachica1311]

i can't help but laugh and smile through this whole thing!! :D

It's amazing!! and i've seen it about 100 times!

[ReptileRanger719]

Classic Disney. No one can beat it, Period.

[rdhededcutie]

I want a broomstick army....:)

[wolfshifter13]

i always use to watch this when i was a kid

i still do and i love how the sorcerer made something good out of something bad

[chompteeth]

Whats the name of the song, I cant find it anywere!

[GolfTheMagicRabbit]

@chompteeth The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas

[ChickenBeerFilms]

is it normal that i still love this clip

at the age of 15?

when i was i kid i could watch this thousand times and i loved it

These days suck. comparised with the old times.

[vastato2006]

@ChickenBeerFilms I'd definitely say there's nothing wrong with looking back on something and still enjoying it even after so long. Especially when it's something as good as this :D It's a pain that we have to wait so long for Disney to release it on DVD & Blu-ray again

[nicoypapi]

@ChickenBeerFilms im 15 too and i still love it

[Niftybergin]

I feel fortunate to be of the generation tha was exposed to classical music through the cartoons we watched. Whether it was something like this (Sorcerer's Apprentice), or Bugs Bunny and the Flight of the Valkyries, or Looney Toones and the Barber of Seville, or the Smurfs and te Hall of the Mountain King, we got a cultural education while we were entertained by our cartoons. What an awesome way to teach youngsters!

[ccipollini1984]

@Niftybergin

I agree. I am petrafied of what this dumbass generation will bring about.

Reared on Jersey Shore and Jonas Brothers. God help 'em.

[5ALOIS5]

When i was young this was my favourit film - and it always frightend me :)

but grimv3 is right: todays disney really sucks!

This film is great!

[arrecotinarrecotan]

is this Tchaikovsky?

[EpigeneticEngineer]

@arrecotinarrecotan Paul Dukas

[RLynnT]

it has taken me FOREVER to find this!!! thank you thank you THANK YOU! :)
