Talk:The Sorcerer's Apprentice

message: Somehow, a search for "The Sorceror's Apprentice" leads to Fantasia instead of this article. Anyone know how to fix this?Sfahey 15:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha. One must spell "sorcerer" correctly. Never mind.Sfahey 15:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unforunately, both spellings are correct.  Perhaps a disambiguation page is in order... Canonblack 12:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Missing link

message: I have heard people called a "Sorcerer's Apprentice" when describing them as a person acting either beyond their authority or beyond their abilities.  For example, see the U.S. Supreme Court case Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275, 291 (2001).  I wanted to add this, but I'm not sure how to edit wikipedia pages well enough!  Anyone else?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.67.110.214 (talk) 17:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Although there's no official "main author", in this case the original article by Securiger is not that far from the present article.--Niels Ø 16:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I did a major cleanup on this piece, which is about GOETHE'S POEM as noted from the beginning and in the disambiguation. I removed everything about Dukas's piece and made that into a separate article. I also subverted all the information in this article to the Goethe poem.

message: It would be great if someone could find reliable sources to the claim that Walt Disney popularized the poem in the English speaking world.  Find it hard to believe that it should have been largely unknown.--81.99.202.66 (talk) 19:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The plot described in the Story and Analysis sections seem to have nothing to do with each other. --Prophes0r 67.186.150.159 (talk) 16:53, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Story and Analysis are at odds 

message: The article is about the poem by Goethe. The Analysis section describes an Aarne-Thompson-Uther entry that has the same name but is unrelated to the poem.
The poem tells the story of an overeager apprentice playing with forces he does not understand, who is then rescued and rebuked by his master. The Analysis section instead describes the motif of a duel of transformations between sorcerers, in particular between an apprentice and his master.
The section should be deleted or moved to a separate article, and if possible be replaced by an analysis of the actual poem. -Arancaytar 19:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call; I've removed it. Analysis of the poem may possibly be available on the DE-wiki version of this article. Softlavender (talk) 03:21, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
