The film is named after a segment in Disney's non-consecutive film pair the 1940 film Fantasia and the 1999 film Fantasia 2000 called The Sorcerer's Apprentice starring Mickey Mouse (with one scene being an extensive reference to it), which in turn is based on the late-1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and the 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad. Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), a "Merlinean", is a sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan, fighting against the forces of evil, in particular his nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), while searching for the person who will eventually inherit Merlin's powers ("The Prime Merlinean"). This turns out to be Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a physics student, whom Balthazar takes as a reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling apprentice a crash course in the art and science of sorcery, in order to stop Horvath and Morgana le Fay (Alice Krige) from raising the souls of the evil dead sorcerers ("Morganians") and destroying the world.
In Britain 740 AD, Merlin has three apprentices; Balthazar Blake, Veronica Gorloisen, and Maxim Horvath. Horvath betrays Merlin by allying with the evil sorceress Morgana le Fay. Morgana mortally wounds Merlin before Veronica rips Morgana's soul from her body and absorbs it into her own. As Morgana attempts to kill Veronica from within, Balthazar stops her by imprisoning Morgana and Veronica in the "Grimhold", a magic prison in the shape of a nesting doll. Before dying, Merlin gives Balthazar his dragon figurine that will identify the Prime Merlinean, Merlin's descendant and the only one able to defeat Morgana. While searching for his descendant throughout history, Balthazar imprisons Morganians, sorcerers who try to release Morgana, including Horvath, into successive layers on the Grimhold.
Ten years later, Dave is a physics student at New York University. The ten-year imprisonment curse of the urn ends, releasing Horvath and Balthazar. Horvath pursues Dave and the Grimhold. Balthazar rescues Dave, riding an animated steel eagle adapted from a Chrysler Building gargoyle. Dave refuses to help Balthazar, having been under psychiatric care since their first meeting, until Balthazar agrees to leave after finding the Grimhold. They track the Grimhold to Chinatown, where Horvath has released the next Morganian, Sun Lok. Dave defeats Sun Lok, and Balthazar retrieves the Grimhold. Dave changes his mind and agrees to become Balthazar's apprentice. He also becomes romantically involved with his childhood crush, Becky, against Balthazar's wishes and advice.
Horvath enlists a youthful Morganian, celebrity magician Drake Stone, to get the Grimhold. They attempt to kill Dave, but Balthazar saves him. Cued by Horvath, Dave demands to know the truth about Balthazar's quest. Balthazar reveals that Morgana is trapped in the Grimhold with Veronica. Morgana, if freed, would cast a spell called "The Rising", which would revive sorcerers from the dead and enslave mankind. As Prime Merlinian, Dave is the only one who can stop her.
You likely remember Mickey Mouse and the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's a story that revolves around an apprentice of a great sorcerer who has grown tired from repetitive manual labor and decides to automate his chores with a bit of help from his departed master's hat. However, when the apprentice falls asleep, he awakens to find himself in a bit of a predicament. The brooms Mickey used to help him clean have kept replicating and now things are out of control.
So as you develop that new, groundbreaking technology, or launch a major organizational change, consider the Sorcerer's Apprentice Theory. Although at first, all the brooms were producing fantastic results, things got out of hand quickly. And you might not have a sorcerer to easily put everything back to the way it was.
The poem begins as an old sorcerer departs his workshop, leaving his apprentice with chores to perform. Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him, using magic in which he is not fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water, and the apprentice realizes that he cannot stop the broom because he does not know the magic required to do so.
The apprentice splits the broom in two with an axe, but each piece becomes a whole broom that takes up a pail and continues fetching water, now at twice the speed. At this increased pace, the entire room quickly begins to flood. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell. The poem concludes with the old sorcerer's statement that only a master should invoke powerful spirits.
Goethe's "Der Zauberlehrling" is well known in the German-speaking world. The lines in which the apprentice implores the returning sorcerer to help him with the mess he created have turned into a cliché, especially the line "Die Geister, die ich rief" ("The spirits that I summoned"), a simplified version of one of Goethe's lines "Die ich rief, die Geister, / Werd' ich nun nicht los" - "The spirits that I summoned / I now cannot rid myself of again", which is often used to describe someone who summons help or allies that the individual cannot control, especially in politics.[citation needed]
Some versions of the tale differ from Goethe's, and in some versions the sorcerer is angry at the apprentice and in some even expels the apprentice for causing the mess. In other versions, the sorcerer is a bit amused at the apprentice and he simply chides his apprentice about the need to be able to properly control such magic once summoned.[citation needed] The sorcerer's anger with the apprentice, which appears in both the Greek Philopseudes and the film Fantasia, does not appear in Goethe's "Der Zauberlehrling".
The animated 1940 Disney film Fantasia popularized the story from Goethe's poem, and the 1897 Paul Dukas symphonic poem based on it,[10] 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[11]) 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. Four of the animated brooms have a brief cameo appearance in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, working at cleaning a film studio while a human supervisor plays a saxophone version of Dukas' composition.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels alluded to Goethe's poem in The Communist Manifesto (1848), comparing modern bourgeois society to "the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells."[12]
The poem's story is alluded to in several episodes of the fairy-tale drama Once Upon a Time, especially in "The Apprentice" (2014). A variation of the Dukas piece also plays in certain scenes. The apprentice himself is a recurring character, while the sorcerer is shown to be Merlin.
The Fantasia version appears in the video game series Kingdom Hearts (2002), with the sorcerer Yen Sid serving as an adviser to the heroes, teaching Mickey, Sora, and Riku the Keyblade skills needed to guard the universe from his former friend Xehanort's plan. A world based on the Fantasia version also appears throughout the series, serving as Yen Sid's home.
The thaumaturgic melting pot burbled away in Alexandria until the city fell to Muslim armies in 641 ad. Refugees smuggled the Greco-Egyptian tradition into Constantinople. Along the way, Mesopotamian elements were incorporated; now Nebutosualeth rubbed shoulders with Abraham and Anael. In Constantinople, Greco-Egyptian magic came to be known as Solomonic magic. This was not spooky saturnine devil worship; Solomonic magic was practiced in service to a higher power, with the aim of binding ill forces and putting them to good use. The techniques were passed down from master to pupil in an underground apprenticeship system until Constantinople, too, was sacked in 1453. The magical tradition hit the road again, this time traveling to Italy, where it was translated into Latin and became the Clavicula Salomonis, or Key of Solomon. As it spread throughout Europe, the Solomonic system fractured into many derivative, incomplete, and often deliberately misleading grimoires, which were acquired in secret, sometimes under threat of death.
Here, Mickey Mouse is apprenticed to a powerful wizard, but must haul water laboriously by hand, from a well at the bottom of the tower, to fill a basin. When the sorcerer leaves on an errand, the apprentice enchants a broom to carry water for him. Then he falls asleep, enjoys a delightful dream of infinite, effortless power a- and is woken by water lapping at his feet. The broom is still hauling water! Mickey realises to his horror that he has no idea how to make it stop. In desperation, he chops the broom to pieces - only to find that each broom now begins carrying water, raising the water even higher. The mounting chaos is only resolved when the master returns and lifts the broom\u2019s enchantment.
Whether it\u2019s framed as a deal with the devil, or the invocation of forces not properly understood, Marlowe, Goethe and Disney all present the danger inherent in modernity\u2019s bargain. It\u2019s not just the loss of meaning: it\u2019s that our powers don\u2019t always take us where we want to go, or stop when we want them to. Equally, though, all three also capture the appeal of the Faustian bargain. Marlow\u2019s Mephistopheles is charming; Goethe\u2019s Faust is eventually saved; Disney\u2019s sorcerer is angry but also (it\u2019s hinted) amused. And in Disney\u2019s work Mickey, the apologetic apprentice, gets away with one whack on the bottom.
And while this sometimes makes me uncomfortable, I don\u2019t see another option. There is no going back to the time before we swapped meaning for power. Like the Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice, we\u2019ve already enchanted the broom. And unlike the apprentice, no one is coming to make it lie down again.
