    Mickey Mouse Sorcerer's Apprentice Fantasia Dukas

    4. Fantasia (1940)

    With 'Fantasia' Disney's goal was "picturing this music — not the music fitting our story" and he hoped the film would bring classical music to people that, including himself, had "walked out on this kind of stuff." Of course, it's Mickey Mouse as 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' that has endured but the animation in the 'Night on a Bare Mountain' and other sequences has hardly ever been bettered.
