Cartoon Sketch Disney original production drawing of Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, created by Walt Disney Studios for the iconic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of the 1940 animated film Fantasia.
Artwork Details
Film: Fantasia (1940)
Character: Mickey Mouse in his most famous role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice
Medium: Rendered in graphite and colored pencil on animation paper
Purpose: This one-of-a-kind drawing was used during the actual animation process to create the film
Notes: The paper includes production stamps "2004 7.0 33.1" in the lower left, and animator notes like "Handy Head in the cloud Eno shadow" (likely meaning "no shadow") and "FIN" in the right margin, which were used as guides during production.
Significance: The "Sorcerer's Apprentice" sequence was initially planned as a stand-alone short but became the centerpiece of the feature film and featured a significant redesign of Mickey Mouse by animator Fred Moore, giving him the expressive eyes and pear-shaped body that became his definitive look. |
