They keep going to the vat and filling it up. Just when it is all over as Mickey is away, the little wooden split pieces, lying quietly on the floor, begin to come alive, stand upright, grow arms out of their sides, and turn into more brooms with buckets of water. Finally, when the water keeps rising, Mickey, in desperation, grabs a huge ax and chops the broom into pieces. Mickey even tries grabbing one of the buckets, but that too fails. Mickey tries to stop the broom without success it walks right over him, bringing more and more water. Mickey wakes up to find that the room is filled with water, and despite the cauldron overflowing, the broom is not stopping. He dreams that he was a powerful sorcerer high on top of a pinnacle commanding the stars, planets, and water. Since Mickey is satisfied, he sits down on the chair and falls asleep. He commands the broom to carry buckets of water to fill a cauldron. When he goes out of sight, Mickey puts the hat on and tries the magic on a broom. After some magic, Yen Sid puts his hat down, yawns, and goes to his chambers.

I had to post another comment because I can't stress enough that it's a worthy successor to the original Fantasia, and Walt would be proud.The scene starts with Sorcerer Yen Sid, who is working on his magic while his apprentice Mickey does the chores. It's a PERFECT marriage of music and animation and MUST be played loud. This is the most incredible segment of the film. Creating a love story involving Donald and Daisy Duck into the story of Noah's Ark worked surprisingly well. "Pomp and Circumstance", the graduation standard, is humorous and sweet. The pace is quick and manages to give each character studied enough depth to make a very satisfying and touching ending. "Rhapsody in Blue", by Gershwin, is given perfect treatment by a day in the life of New York City. I want more!! "Pines of Rome", a marvelous piece set to the "story" of whales leaving the water and eventually the planet, is worth viewing several times for it's symbolism and exquisite look. Disney have hereby restored my faith in them as leading the pack in animated cinema. sets the stage for a remarkable departure from the usual animated dreck that Disney has been bogged down by for the last half-decade (Toy Story aside).

I can't stop watching it!!! Four of the seven new segments in this film are alone well worth the admission.
