(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Original ‘rough’ production drawing featuring Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia, showing him holding the bucket he uses to fetch water before attempting to use an enchanted broom. Accomplished in graphite and red pencil on untrimmed 15.5 x 12.5 animation paper. Image measures 4.5 x 5. In fine condition. The pail is used as a central device in this iconic segment of Fantasia, and production materials showing Mickey Mouse with both the bucket and sorcerer’s hat are excessively rare.
