The movie was directed by James Algar and Samuel Armstrong and story by Joe Grant and Dick Huemer. It was released on January 6, 1942 by Walt Disney Pictures and runs for 125 minutes. Leopold Stokowski is the Conductor, Deems Taylor does the Narrative Introductions, and Juliette Novis is the soloists in Ave Maria. In 1942 the Academy Awards gave an Honorary Award to Walt Disney, William E. Garity, J.N.A. Hawkins, and Leopold Stokowski. During production, the animators were given no instructions for coloring. Walt Disney instructed them to use any colors they wanted, a first. The filming of the final "Ave Maria" sequence was plagued by mishaps. To achieve the effect of moving through the scene, several panes of painted glass were used. The whole setup was over 200 feet long, and had to be redone three times. The first time the wrong lens was placed on the camera, and the subsequent film showed not only the artwork but the workers scurrying around it. The second time around, an earthquake struck the studio, and the shot was once again scrapped. The next morning, the shot was redone; the film was shipped to the lab, processed, and couriered to the premiere in New York where it was spliced into the final print with only four hours to spare. The animators secretly modeled elements of the Sorcerer in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" on their boss, Walt Disney. The raised eyebrow was regarded as a dead giveaway. They call the character Yen Sid, which is "Disney”, spelled backwards.
