Originally intended to be a standalone short film, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" wound up becoming arguably the most memorable sequence of Fantasia, Disney's innovative and experimental third feature film. Following a 45-second introduction by Maltin calling this "the pinnacle of Mickey's screen career," the famous segment is presented in its entirety. Set to the Paul Dukas' classical piece, Mickey's use of magic to clean up results in disaster, to the dismay of his master. Unlike the Fantasia DVD's dual 5.1 tracks, the clip is merely Dolby Surround here.

Alexander Korda's bit for the British war effort shows the world both at peace and on the verge of Nazi domination. Spliced together to form a documentary-style movie of both newsreel and acting. This first of its kind in propaganda films of World War II, shows the might of the English Empire and its eagerness to stand up to the oppressors of morality and free will. Crude, but effective propaganda cinema that sets the tone for things to come. With its stiff upper lip attitude that pays tribute to the nation's pride and shows the black plague of Nationalism spreading across Europe that England shall be motivated, ready, and willing to retaliate.
