Notable recurring characters in "Disney's Fantasia" franchise.
Mickey Mouse.
Mickey Mouse is Yen Sid's apprentice in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment. Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice has become such an iconic role for the character that he is regularly depicted as such in the Disney parks. Mickey is seen wearing his famous red wizard's robe and blue sorcerer's hat in numerous parades as well as in the nighttime spectacular they vanished "Fantasmic!" at both Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. The Sorcerer's Hat was also a former park icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios and also is involved heavily in the plot of Mickey's PhilharMagic at the Magic Kingdom. A very large version of the hat is also seen at the entrance of the Walt Disney Animation Studios building at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California (and can be easily seen from both Riverside Drive and the 134 Freeway). Walt Disney Home Entertainment, Disney's home video sales division featured "Sorcerer Mickey" on its covers starting from its inception in 1980, and he appears in the logo for Walt Disney Imagineering, the subsidiary of the company responsible for designing the Disney parks and resorts.
Yen Sid.
Yen Sid ("Disney" spelled backwards) is the powerful sorcerer in "Fantasia", appearing as an old man with a long beard and robes that extended to the floor. In the segment, he executes a series of spells which are observed by his apprentice Mickey Mouse, then decides to take a rest, leaving his hat behind. Mickey takes the hat and uses its magic to bring a broom to life to finish the chore of bringing water in from the well. However, Mickey does not know how to stop the magic now that it has been activated, and after he falls asleep, the entire basement is flooded. Eventually, Yen Sid reappears, and uses his magic to recede the waters and undo the spell that caused the problem in the first place. From there, he takes back his hat and broom, and uses the broom to send Mickey back to finish his chores.
In other media.
Many years after the film's release, Yen Sid has become a recurring character, making appearances in media ranging from video games to the Disney theme parks, most notably after his introduction into the "Kingdom Hearts" series.
In the 1971 episode of "The Wonderful World of Disney", known as "Disney on Parade", Yen Sid (here referred to as Merlin), makes a brief appearance chastising Mickey being the host of the show and tests his abilities. This leads to a reprise of the sequence with Mickey performing even greater feats of magic bestowed upon him. In this appearance, Yen Sid was voiced by Michael Rye.
Yen Sid is voiced by Corey Burton in "Mickey and the Magical Map" at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
Yen Sid appears in the Disney/Square Enix video game series "Kingdom Hearts", maintaining his role as Mickey's magical mentor with Donald Duck and Goofy showing him tremendous respect. The game series marked Yen Sid's first consistent speaking role in his appearances prior, being voiced by Corey Burton in English, and Takashi Inagaki in Japanese.
Yen Sid also appears in the "Epic Mickey" games as both the narrator and as the creator of a pen-and-paper world for all of Disney's forgotten creations to reside in including Oswald the Lucky Rabbit before Mickey's unintentional actions turn it into the Wasteland. He also appears in "" where he employs the player as his new apprentice. Yen Sid appears in Disney Magical World as the creator of the primary world known as Castleton, which is the peaceful home of dozens of citizens and Disney characters. Aside from appearing in the opening cinematic for the game, Yen Sid also summons the player to seek help in defeating an army of ghosts that have been invading the tranquil realm.
In episode 4x12 of the "Once Upon A Time" TV series, Yen Sid is said to be the landlord of the house in Storybrooke where the Apprentice lives.
In the "Descendants" prequel novel called "The Isle of the Lost", Yen Sid is shown living on the Isle of the Lost. He is positioned here by King Beast to work at the Isle of the Lost's school called Dragon Hall to help the students with formerly magical parents adapt to more modern methods since the Isle of the Lost's barrier negates all magic.
Donald Duck.
Donald Duck is Noah's assistant, whose job is that he's supposed to get the animals on board the ark before the land gets flooded.
Daisy Duck.
Daisy Duck is Donald's girlfriend. In Pomp and Circumstance, she and Donald get separated from each other during the flood but get reunited in the end when the flood dries up.
Chernabog.
Chernabog is the massive nocturnal devil in "Night on Bald Mountain", who can take peoples hearts and holds power over various restless souls. His name is taken from Chernobog, a deity of Slavic mythology; the name is Slavic for "black god". While officially a pagan god, Chernabog might have originally been intended as a representation of Satan: when "Night on Bald Mountain" appeared on the original "Wonderful World of Disney", Walt Disney referred to Chernabog as "Satan himself." Deems Taylor also refers to Chernabog as "Satan" in the film.
Chernabog is first seen disguised as the spire on top of Bald Mountain until he spreads his draconic wings, revealing himself. It is Walpurgis Night and, using the powers of darkness, he raises ghosts, monsters, fire women, a fleet of monstrous imps, blue satyrs, witches and demons from a nearby town with a cemetery. Ghosts of Criminals pass through the noose a second time, while others rise from the moat surrounding the ruins of an abandoned ancient castle. He then also summons fire and makes the ghosts and the other creatures in his control dance and fly around, before he throws them into a volcanic pit and resurrects them as demons. Harpies fly around as the cavorting gets more chaotic, throwing unfortunate, deformed creatures into the multi-hued flames. Chernabog is at the height of his power, showing off in a display that sends a column of fire into the air, which returns to the chasm in a sheet of flame. An instant before continuing the demonic celebration, with the coming of the dawn Chernabog hears the tolling of the Angelus Bell; he is then forced to cover himself with his wings as the demons leap back down the pit, the ghosts return to their graves, and the dark ceremony ceases as morning arrives.
In other media.
Chernabog appears as one of the Disney Villains in both versions of the "Fantasmic!" nighttime spectacular at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and the Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. Here he is summoned by the Evil Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to fight Mickey Mouse. In both versions of "Fantasmic!" his role is similar to that in "Fantasia", with him summoning ghosts. He has no spoken dialogue, but growls, cackles, and screams during his appearances in the show. In the end, Mickey defeats Chernabog along with the other villains with his imagination. He also appears in parade floats in Disney amusement parks.
Chernabog appeared in the Disney/Square Enix crossover game "Kingdom Hearts" as a surprise boss who rules over the "End of the World", serving as the fight before Ansem. Chernabog attacks by breathing fire, invoking an eruption from the mountain he stands in, summoning spirits to attack Sora, Donald and Goofy and flinging balls of fire. "Night on Bald Mountain" serves as the music during this boss battle in the North American, PAL and Final Mix version of the game, making him the only Disney villain in the game to have his own unique boss music. He returns in "" as a boss fight in Riku's story in the "Symphony of Sorcery" world based upon "Fantasia".
Chernabog is also seen as a guest in "Disney's House of Mouse" where he is voiced by Corey Burton. Here, we can see his legs. He is more than an actual villain. In one particular episode, he sheepishly admits to Clarabelle Cow that he is afraid of the dark and in another during a blackout, he admits that he is "kind of afraid of the dark". In one episode, he even reenacts a part of the "Night on Bald Mountain" segment before Pete tries to push him (and Bald Mountain) away with a bulldozer, which provokes the evil spirits that chase the selfish cat out of the club. In the "Mickey's House of Villains" direct-to-DVD film, he is shown to have some sort of relationship with Maleficent's dragon form, stating (during the song) that he loves her work. They are seen again together shortly before Mickey's fight with Jafar, during the sequence that parodies the segment "The Rite of Spring".
Chernabog makes an appearance in "Disney at Dawn", the second book of "The Kingdom Keepers" series. Though he is mentioned numerous times throughout, his major role is at the end of the book, where it is revealed that he has been trapped by Disney Imagineers in the form of the Yeti in the Disney's Animal Kingdom attraction Expedition Everest. He is freed by Maleficent, and flies out of the mountain, before escaping capture and escaping from the park. In a cliffhanger ending, it is reported he and Maleficent have most likely taken shelter in MGM Studios.
During season 4 of Once Upon A Time the Chernabog is released in Storybrooke.
A painting of Chernabog can be seen in the Lonesome Manor Foyer in "Epic Mickey" and he also appears in the film reel segments based upon his segment in "".
Chernabog makes two appearances in the 2013 "Mickey Mouse" series, in episodes "Touchdown and Out" and "The Scariest Story Ever".
