Later that year, Disney produced "Fantasia". It originally started with the Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in an attempt to recapture Mickey's popularity, which had sharply declined due to the popularity of Max Fleischer's "Popeye" and Disney's Donald Duck. In the "Sorcerer's Apprentice", Mickey Mouse was redesigned by Fred Moore. This redesign of Mickey is still in use today. The short featured no dialogue, only music which was conducted by Leopold Stokowski. When the budget for the short grew very expensive, Stokowski suggested to Disney that it could be a feature film with other pieces of classical music matched to animation. Disney agreed and production started. "Fantasia" would also become the first commercial film to be released in stereophonic sound. However, like "Pinocchio", "Fantasia" was not a financial success. "Fantasia" was also the first Disney film not to be received well, receiving mixed reviews from the critics. It was looked down upon by music critics and audiences, who felt that Walt Disney was striving for something beyond his reach by trying to introduce mainstream animation to abstract art, classical music, and "elite" subjects. However, the film would be reevaluated in later years and considered a animated masterpiece.
