Okay so I've never seen illustrations of the source material before.
But this sight gives funny reason for Mickey's outfit. Like, we know why MICKEY dresses like that because aside from specific short films or video games he rarely wears a shirt.
But? OG Sorcerer Guy? Where's your pants?

I watched and loved Fantasia 2000 when I was a child, but it was only a few months ago that I found out about Goethe's poem, and how much of Disney's segment wasn't original at all. I almost felt like my childhood was a lie!
To anyone wanting to read the original poem, here's a link to the German original and a translation.
I also quite like this modern translation by Katrin Gygax.
Pet Peeve: I am tired of Goethe not being credited with The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The moment anyone hears that title they immediately think of Mickey Mouse.You probably know that famous Mickey Mouse short from Fantasia where Mickey puts on the sorcerer’s cap and makes the brooms do the work for him but they go out of control. When he tries to smash the enchanted brooms they multiply and it becomes chaotic. Well, the music in that animated segment and the plot of that story were both inspired by the poem The Sorcerer’s apprentice by Johann Von Goethe, the author of Faust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorcerer%27s_Apprentice The poem is about a sorcerer’s apprentice who does precisely as Mickey does in the animated segment.
And yet none of the Disney-tie-in story books or even the live action Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie starring Nicolas Cage (which has the broom sequence) none of them credit Goethe. I tried to argue with IMDB that Goethe should be credited as the source of the plot of Sorcerer’s apprentice as the 2010 film credits inspiration from the animated short and the animated short credits Goethe, but for some reason they wouldn’t accept it. To me it’s as bad as not giving Mary Shelley credit for The Frankenstein monster just because you’re using the story very loosely. The entire plot of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice short story was by Goethe, not Walt Disney. The irony is if you watch Fantasia, Walt Disney, himself, introduces the segment by mentioning Goethe’s poem. Walt Disney was a big Goethe fan. Parts of the Night on Bald Mountain short and most of Walt Disney’s medieval German village imagery in his animation came from the 1926 silent film adaptation of Faust. But after Fantasia, when Walt Disney credited Goethe, it’s like the Disney Corporation consciously decided to forget that the plot of the story was from an eighteenth century poem and Goethe hasn’t been credited for it since.Disney went out of their way to let people mistakenly think The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was somehow an original idea created for Mickey Mouse.When people think of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” now they think of Mickey Mouse in a wizard hat. And they don’t realize it’s a nearly three-hundred-year-old poem. And it’s a shame. I happen to love Goethe. End of rant.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Illustration of Der Zauberlehrling. From: German book, "Goethe's Werke", 1882, drawing by Ferdinand Barth (Künstler)
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (German: "Der Zauberlehrling") is a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe written in 1797. The poem is a ballad in 14 stanzas.
Story
The poem begins as an old sorcerer departs his workshop, leaving his apprentice with chores to perform. Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him, using magic in which he is not fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water, and the apprentice realizes that he cannot stop the broom because he does not know the magic required to do so.
The apprentice splits the broom in two with an axe, but each piece becomes a whole broom that takes up a pail and continues fetching water, now at twice the speed. At this increased pace, the entire room quickly begins to flood. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell. The poem concludes with the old sorcerer's statement that only a master should invoke powerful spirits.

My surprising personal connection to The Sorcerer's Apprentice
So, my followers know me for writing fanfic based in part on The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)....
Which in turn is based on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" Fantasia short (1940)...
Which is turn was based on The Sorcerer's Apprentice symphonic poem by Paul Dukas (1897)...
Which in turn was based on the Johann Wolfgang van Goethe poem "Der Zauberlehrling" (1797).
Right? Right.
Well, what I didn't know until today was that Goethe was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and later spent two years in Sicily.
I have great-grandparents from both those places. I don't have much info on my family past great-great grandparents, but some distant branches of my family likely spent generations there.
So I don't know, it's possible that distant relatives of mine interacted with the person who created the work that later inspired the work I'm now writing about, over 200 years later. A writer that travelled from Germany to Sicily, a story that travelled from Germany to America (via France).
I don't know, it's fun to think about, however much it's highlighted by conjecture and not fact.
