I actually love the Sorcerer's Apprentice, especially for the music. It really solidified the character for me, and I do like Mickey. But, y'know, results may vary. ;)
The Toccata was the same for me--I remember thinking "Yeah, I suppose it WOULD be hard to make that perfect in 2D."
In the 80s there was some special that set the animation from the pastoral's second movement to Annie Lennox's "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)," which is literally the first song I ever heard. (Mom would put headphones on her stomach so I could listen in utero.) I ... kind of always preferred that. But it bothered me that the centaur pairs appeared to be color-coded--why do the red ones have to get together? Can't they mix it up? (And that's not even getting into the implications of Sunflower ...)
I actually just found out how they did the animation for the snowflakes in the Nutcracker Suite! For years it's baffled me, because it looks like CGI. Apparently they were on a transparency, rotated with gears ... dang, some of the effects they came up with were genius.
