animation - sorcerers apprentice


When Mickey Mouse yawns on 3:35, i yawned too. I originally looked at this piece of animation because i remembered it featured everyday household objects, moving like people (or mice) do. Think what's important is the brush's maintain their physical integrity - You might say "but they've sprouted arms", i know but it's totally in keeping with the narrative and illustrative style.
Loads of brilliant cinematic techniques, such as depicting the sorcerers authority by viewing him from below. Mickey's facial expressions and dynamics are just perfect, so good you forget your watching an animation. I appreciate the sorcerers apprentice is a bit of an animation cliche, but it's so brillianly made, i found it very useful to look at.
