The animated 1940 Disney film "Fantasia" popularized the story from Goethe's poem, and the 1897 Paul Dukas symphonic poem based on it, in one of eight animated shorts based on classical music. In the piece, which retains the title "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", Mickey Mouse plays the apprentice, and the story follows Goethe's original closely, except that the sorcerer (Yen Sid, or "Disney" backwards) is stern and angry with his apprentice when he saves him. "Fantasia" popularized Goethe's story to a worldwide audience. The segment proved so popular that it was repeated, in its original form, in the sequel "Fantasia 2000".
