The Sorcerer's Apprentice is vaguely based on the Fantasia
short with Mickey Mouse, that came out in 1940. This in turn is based on a poem
written by Goethe in 1797. This is the original short from Fantasia.
In
fact almost an identical scene as that from the original Fantasia short shows
up in the newer Sorcerer's Apprentice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipWuz6eZSl4.
Of course the movie goes far more in depth than the original
short :). It tells the story of Dave, a common scientist that is told by an
ancient wizard named Balthazar that he is the successor of the great Merlin and
that only he can defeat the evil Horvath. He must learn how to harness his
power and defeat the evil wizard and his mistress, Morgana Le Fay, before it is
too late. The movie is a fun one, and Jay Barauchel does a good job in stepping
into Mickey's shoes.
