  >So the story of Mickey Mouse in Fantasia.. Which, like essentially all Disney works, was based on existing folklore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorcerer's_Apprentice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorcerer's_Apprentice

    Yes, that's largely what Disney does, repackage existing folklore in a way that modern society wants to consume. At least the American culture is well aware of Fantasia and the brooms with buckets scene. Whatever earlier work? Only someone with specialist knowledge could tell you which work it had been derived from.

      Yeah, and then stamping a never ending copyright on it.
