The Witch Apprentice
Based on the Fantasia music number "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas, conducted by Leopold Stakowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Inside a mysterious tower in the Majo Kai, Majo Rika is performing a magical incantation on her desk skull. As the skull begins to emit smoke, walking from one of the chambers is Majo Rika's apprentice, Doremi, who has been told to carry water to the cauldron. Doremi sets the two water-filled buckets down for a second to wipe the sweat off her head and then carries them over to the cauldron. As she is dumping the water into the cauldron, her teacher causes the smoke to emerge from the skull and form into a plume of what appears to be a bat. Majo Rika brings more smoke to the plume transforming it into a colorful butterfly. Doremi looks up at the plume after dumping the rest of the water. Suddenly, Majo Rika breaks the plume into pieces and vanishes them into the skull with a bright flash that startles Doremi. Tired from performing magic, Majo Rika lets out a big yawn, takes off her magic witch hat, and sets it on her desk.
As Majo Rika walks up the stairs to rest in her bed chamber, Doremi sneaks up to the foot of the stairs to see her teacher closing the door. With the coast now clear, Doremi runs over to the desk, takes the magic witch hat, and places it on her head. Doremi then turns over to a broomstick preserved at the corner and prepares her incantation. Waving her hands around, she casts a spell on the broom causing it to spring to life. Doremi brings the broomstick over to the two buckets, gives it arms and commands the broom to carry the buckets. Commanding the broom to follow her, Doremi brings the broom up to the fountain and haves it to fill the buckets with water. After the buckets are full, the broom follows Doremi over to the cauldron and the broom dumps the water into it. Doremi brings the broom back to the fountain and allows it to fill the buckets again. Doremi dances from the fountain, across the chambers, and up to her teacher's desk. She jumps onto the chair and places her feet on the desk as the broom carries the water to the cauldron.
After the broom dumps more water into the cauldron and marches back to the fountain, Doremi lets out a big yawn and falls asleep. Her dream self leaves her sleeping self and flies up to the air and onto a high cliff where she uses magic on the stars. Doremi waves her hands causing the stars to become shooting stars flying around in every direction the witch apprentice commands. Doremi then claps her hands together which causes the stars to collide and burst into star dusts. The apprentice showers the dusts into the water below the cliff and makes the water rise up to her. As Doremi creates the powerful waves, she brings two clouds together and creates lightning. As Doremi is casting elemental spells in her dream, back in reality while still dreaming, she thrusts her arms into the air unaware that the whole chamber is flooded with water. A sudden gesture causing Doremi to drop into the water which wakes her up. The apprentice now realizes that the whole room is flooding and finds that the broomstick is overflowing the cauldron.
Doremi runs across the flooded floor and tries to command the broom to stop carrying the water, but the broom ignores the command and walks over Doremi to the cauldron. Doremi grabs the bucket to stop it, but the broom was too strong and it flings Doremi into the cauldron. After the broom dumps even more water, Doremi climbs out of the cauldron and chases after the broom. The broom ran back to the fountain and Doremi grunts in frustration. Running out of other options, Doremi grabs an axe by the door, rolls up her sleeve, and charges at the broom. Doremi chops the broomstick into a hundred pieces until there is nothing left. The apprentice leaves the chamber, closes the door, and drops in exhaustion. Meanwhile in the fountain chamber, the pieces started to react and regenerate into a huge group of broomsticks each carrying two buckets of water. As Doremi was going to leave, she hears a noise coming from the chamber and runs back to the door. She cracks the door open only to be shocked that a hundred broomsticks are marching toward her.
The apprentice tries to hold the door closed, but the brooms force the door open. They trample over Doremi and march over to the cauldron to dump more water causing the water in the room rise. Doremi runs down to the flooded chamber, grabs a bucket and tries to bail the water out the open window. The water rises due to the broomsticks thinking the whole chamber is a cauldron and dump more water into it. Now the water became to high for Doremi, so she is pulled into the current and up to the surface. As the broomsticks walk into the flooded room raising the water level, Doremi swims over to the floating spell book and flips through the pages to find the magic formula to stop all the flooding. The water rises even higher, creating a whirlpool beneath Doremi and spins her into it. The apprentice holds on to her life and when all hope had faded, the door to Majo Rika's bed chamber opens. The witch walks out of her chamber to find the whole tower flooded with water. Majo Rika thrusts her arms to the sides dispersing the water and vanishing all the broomsticks.
Doremi crawls out of the spell book to find the water receding and the broomstick now inanimate. The apprentice gasps to see her teacher walk up to her and raise her eyebrow looking most displeased. Doremi stands up, removes the magic witch hat from her head and hands it to Majo Rika. Majo Rika snatches the hat in which Doremi giggles nervously, but the look on her teacher's face silences her. Doremi sees the broom on the ground, picks it up and gives it to Majo Rika, who snatches it from Doremi's Hands and points it to the cauldron. Knowing what her teacher meant, Doremi picks up the two buckets and tiptoes past Majo Rika. The apprentice takes on last look up to her teacher, makes a small grin, and slowly walks away. Losing patience, Majo Rika grabs the broomstick and smacks Doremi forward causing her to run off. As the music ends, Doremi runs up to the conductor's podium and tugs on Leopold Stakowski's tail part of his coat to get his attention.
Doremi: Stakowski-san? Stakowski-san? (whistles)
