In the 1940 animated film Fantasia, anthology that combines various stories with classical music masterpieces, “The Sorcerers Apprentice” tells the tale of Mickey taking the lazy shortcut, abandoning his apprentice duties to stealthily use the Sorcerers hat to make his water-carrying task easier. As the orchestras crescendo builds, we witness the chaos caused by Mickeys actions. In one of the most tense moments of the animation, as the room fills with water, Mickey grabs onto the Sorcerers massive grimoire, using it as a makeshift raft to keep from drowning. The film was later updated in 2000, featuring new animation sequences and the re-release of “The Sorcerers Apprentice”, showcasing once again the worlds most famous and beloved mouse.
This statue immortalizes one of the most iconic moments from the sequence, depicting Mickey clinging to the Sorcerers grimoire as a wave sweeps him away. Mickey wears his red apprentice robe, cinched with a rope belt, along with simple brown shoes. On his head, he wears the Sorcerers hat, the source of the magic that spirals out of control. Despite being carried away by the wave, Mickey retains his adventurous spirit and boundless joy, perfectly captured by his countenance. This magnificent collectible of Sorcerer Mickey is set on a base featuring the enchanted brooms, animated by Mickeys spell.
