Mickey Mouse + shadow murder = EPIC

[Floweramon]

I do think that the end product is a little better. Not for any reasons of on screen violence (I hardly think kids will be traumatized by a broom being chopped up), but it is much more dramatic seeing the shadows rather than the scene itself. As a previous comment said, it's alot more dramatic when left to the audience's imaginations.

Mickey & Daly

When i saw the first scene i was terrified seeing that poor broom get chopped to smithereens.

It's genius how the scene continuously changes from colour to grey, then back and forth again. I love it. Pure genious.

@lmfislb Actually in the bluray they stated that they did think of using Dopey as the sorcerer's apprentice but decided to give the role to Mickey since they wanted to boost his popularity since he was the mascot and it made a bit more sense to include him in Fantasia.

ever notice the axe in the rough cut is different from the final cut?

Interesting video, I love this scene. Thanks for the Spanish subtitles. Gracias por los subtítulos en español ^^

I think is more emotional and dramatic the final scene, Disney and his artists probably considered that this short violence sequence works better if just show shadows, colours and the music.

Mickey has now a good image, it not necessary shows how a loved character has an agressive response, I think so.

The original plan was to use Dopey the dwarf and not Mickey. In fact, the basic animation had been done before the decision to change was made - which is why Mickey moves in a manner completely different from his usual characterisation - it's actually Dopey's body language.
