Who is Yen Sid? Disney's Most Powerful Sorcerer

[@Paragon13]

Mickey is Disney’s cartoon mascot, but Yen Sid is Disney’s video game mascot.

[@MC_CN]

...along with Mickey because you can never escape the mouse

[@krimnullz3166]

A keyblade master

[@taputrainer8463]

Really wish we saw him use a keyblade

[@johnsantos507]

He was a Keyblade master. Until he was retired and give his Keyblade to King Mickey.

[@timrob12]

I feel that Square Enix and Corey Burton helped to make Yen Sid a likeable character. Square Enix reintroduced him to the world...sort of. And Corey Burton found the right kind of preformance to make him that kind of character who is a strong wizard, but catch him on a good day and he might actually make a joke for his own amusement. And of course he uses his powers for good rathen than evil.

Fun fact: Yen Sid spelled backwards is Disney

[@justanaveragehaunter1210]

Oh yeah!

[@moxiemos9637]

Okay, I believe​ you.

[@weston9150]

I knew that too

[@sadem1045]

This was said in the video

[@Kyubeyisbestboy]

by the way his name spelled backwards is DIZ DAMN IT

[@sadem1045]

Yen Sid is one of the Disney company's greatest creations.

[@josephbonczyk3182]

Yen Sid is one of my favorite disney characters and wizard of all because of his sturdy looks, his personality, outfit, his hat, and never takes his magic lightly.

[@joshimations894]

Walt did say “Disneyland would never be finished as long as there’s imagination in the world” like yen sid said about the map

[@RossPitSharkHunter]

Yen should just stop letting Mickey do anything... Y'know, ever.

[@MC_CN]

At least with his stuff. Mickey literally created the Blot (an inky mess of a monster made from paint and thinner) 2 or three times.

[@alaskanspartan89]

I'm not surprised Yen Sid is nobody of Walt Disney

[@Orto-jj2di]

Kingdom hearts and fantasia are quite connected to each other

[@hunterlawrence3573]

I saw Fantasia as a kid, but I mainly knew Yen Sid from Disney Magical World. That game was a bit like a Kingdom Hearts Lite in a couple ways. I always thought it was so cool how he chose to educate children on the Isle of the Lost despite knowing they were being raised to be evil. It shows he really does take his role as a mentor very seriously.

[@nazoai4362]

"Oh my god, isn't that the guy whose name spelled backwards is Dis---" "SiLEnT, peasant! Only the great Yen Sid is allowed to say that!" But then everything changed once that. stupid. ugly. stinky. boy Sora appeared.

[@Austar7]

Okay I believe you

[@optimal_key]

Why the sora hate, what did he do?

[@nazoai4362]

@@optimal_key you don't just get the joke. In fact, I think of him cute though and would like to see his development on the following games.

[@optimal_key]

@@nazoai4362 ur joke seemed a bit literal, sorry

[@Magic3Star]

Yen Sid is by far the best magic user in Disney. My favorite sorcerer of all! Aside from him, I think you should take a look at the Dreamfinder from the Epcot attraction, Journey into Imagination. Next to Yen Sid in this topic, he’s my favorite character of all

[@ChillDeathgod]

Yen Sid plays a big role in Kingdom Hearts I can’t believe you’re a Disney fan and haven’t played it yet

[@falcoskywolf]

The way Mickey's apprenticeship seems to me is that it goes in this order: Mickey starts life as an ordinary Toon actor. Then Epic Mickey happens and he stumbles on Yen Sid's workshop, EVENTUALLY becoming his apprentice. (Yen Sid probably reasoned that the Mouse would keep getting into trouble, so, much like Scrooge teaching his nephews how to get OUT of the trouble they get into, Yen Sid takes on Mickey to minimize the overall risk.) This includes keyblade training. Then, that mapmaker sequence from the park leads Yen Sid to consider Mickey a full-fledged master sorcerer in his own right. Then, through Kingdom Hearts Mickey eventually becomes a keyblade master as well, eventually gaining time powers and being able to insert details like his apprenticeship to Yen Sid into Fantasia.

[@johnsantos507]

Yensid is the King's teacher.

[@Sentienal]

Im glad kingdom hearts got people to know more about yen sid

[@PrinceMarc22]

I love this video and I love the fact that Yen Sid has made a huge comeback in recent years. I've always considered Yen Sid to be Uncle Walt's alter-ego(other than Mickey of course). Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more Disney videos from you in the future.

[@IceInTheSoda]

I knew him from epic mickey first, and then saw fantasia later and found out where he came from. He's always been such a cool character to me.

[@JonJonMorales]

Great video! I always wondered Yen’s history. So thank you!

[@Wolf_Dominic]

I only just found your channel, but I already love it honestly.

[@joshualowe959]

Yen Sid: diS neY

[@TheKingOfIdiots]

So I have to bring this up: Disney Learning isnt the only place Yen Sid shows up in this sort of scenario. He makes (kinda?) consistent appearances in Disney Leaning Adventure, were we don't see in him perse, but he lends the viewer his hat and claims you as the Sorcerer's Apprentice for the day, and helps you learn counting and letters.

[@WillScarlet16]

I always think he's secretly impressed with Mickey at the end of Sorcerer's Apprentice - he gives him that sly little smile that says "You've got guts, kid." Then he gives him a little whack to say "Don't push your luck."

[@virtualboy89]

He feels like some kind of God of Disney. Every final fight in a Disney movie, it is Yen Sid that lets the heroes have some of his power? MATPAT GET ON THIS.

[@CleBiscuits]

@Colgate The Hedgehog pretty much

[@Luxstar13]

hell his name is spelled *insert memes here* backwards.

[@philosophicalphil6611]

Fun Fact: Merlin was also modeled after Walt Disney.

[@detectivewobbuffet2778]

in a way Yen sid and Merlin represent the two side of Walt, Yen Sid is the stern side and Merlin is the playful side, which is why they should interact in some future Disney proget

[@philosophicalphil6611]

Well, @@detectivewobbuffet2778 Merlin in “Sword in the Stone” does get a bit irritated.

[@detectivewobbuffet2778]

@@philosophicalphil6611 the main difference between the two is that Merlin is a little more social than Yen sid

[@philosophicalphil6611]

Arthurian legend is cryptic so people can do what they want with Merlin.🧙🏻‍♂️

[@magicmyrddin6186]

@@philosophicalphil6611 Very true, I've just finished my own personal Merlin trail here in the UK (From Carmarthen to Cornwall) & visited it all. Truly fascinating. My username probably gave that away though.

[@Nyankitty61]

“If you know anything about yen Sid outside of fantasia-“ EPIC MICKEY EPIC MICKEY!!! “-kingdoms hearts.” 😀 . 😐 . 😭

[@ChipFanXO]

Epic mickeys opening is almost like the sorcerers apprentice but instead of a hat it's a brush

May your heart be your guiding key

[@marloncarpio8311]

My name... spelled backwards... is DISNEY!

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

Great video and totally agree. Here's some characters I want to see make a comeback: Powerline (A Goofy Movie) Aladar (Dinosaur) The dinosaurs (Rite of Spring) Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

[@KyaunneeRichardson]

Yen Sid is amazing! I love the mystery and ambiguity that surrounds him. That's one of the things that makes him cool. Also, the fact that he is Walt Disney and how he created a lot of these worlds. Kind of cool when you think about it. Yet it makes me wonder, who gave the Yen Sid his magic? Was he always born with magical powers or was it granted to him?

[@goldprime118]

Dude I had no idea Corey Burton voiced Yen Sid. That's the dude who voiced Shockwave in the G1 Transformers cartoon.

[@supercamborg4218]

I actually learned about Yen Sid from Epic Mickey. A childhood game of mine

[@twilightsky1580]

Where did you get the footage of Cory Burton saying May your heart be your guiding key at 6:00?

[@graceskalniak4835]

A voice actor showcase at the D23 Expo

[@familytablet6453]

To be honest, I LOVE how absolutely nothing in the thumbnail or title indicated anything related to Kingdom Hearts itself, yet the tower is flooded with keyblade wielders like they've been summoned there by Yen Sid himself. I'm talking about the comments, in case that wasn't abundantly obvious.

[@taroupriapus9760]

Merlin and Yen Sid are the two lost Blue Wizards in LOTR

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

Yen Sid has Walt Disney's Nose and eyebrow length

Yen aid vs merlin

[@changvasejarik62]

Good question, the kingdom hearts games describe Merlin as having superior magic and wisdom, while Yen Sid is apparently the better sorcerer and more knowledgeable. A fight that’s all in the fine print.
