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.

He spots the Ballerina standing on one leg (though the leg that was raised was obscured by her skirt) and falls in love with her. He is then thrown out of the window and into a waste pipe by the jealous and manipulative Jack-in-the-Box. The waste pipe leads him into the sea, there he is swallowed by a fish. The fish is caught and coincidentally bought by the mother of the young boy. The soldier falls out of the fish's mouth in front of his owner, who brings him back to the toy room.

Then, he tries to woo the Ballerina but fails dramatically and comically. When the Soldier comes back, the Jack in the Box fights him with a sword, but ends up being hurled into the fireplace where he is presumably destroyed and dead.
