The brooms are marching and Mickey can't stop them. Walt Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a hardcover picture book from Random House's Disney's Wonderful World of Reading series, featuring the iconic Fantasia segment that turned Mickey Mouse in a star-spangled sorcerer's hat into one of the most recognizable images in animation history. This printing carries the Fantasia 50th Anniversary logo on the cover, placing it as a circa 1990 reprint of the classic early-70s series title. Full-color illustrations throughout bring the enchanted brooms, the flooding workshop, and Mickey's very bad day to life on every page. A previous owner named Ballard wrote their name on the title page — which honestly just adds to the charm.
