Fine. The music for The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which was based on Goethe's poem "Der Zauberlehrling," was used in Walt Disney's film Fantasia. Disney cast Mickey Mouse in the role of the apprentice. The film was originally meant to be released as a short cartoon, but it became so elaborate and expensive to make that it was combined with other segments into a feature film.
