Yensid page sandbox

Yensid (Disney spelled backwards) is the last name of Retlaw Yensid (Walter Disney), a pseudonym Walt Disney often used instead of his real name. This page aims to document the history of the word and its various uses.

Most people seem to agree that Yensid as a character first appeared in film in the 1940 classic Fantasia as the sorcerer in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".

The first copyrighted film credit use of the word Yensid was in 1962: Walt Disney presents Lt. Robin Crusoe U.S.N. by Bill Ford pseud. for William Johnston, based on a story by Retlaw Yensid. Catalog of Copyright Entries. Third Series: 1966: July-December pg. 1762 By Library of Congress. Copyright Office In 1983, Atari released "Sorcerer's Apprentice" for the Atari 2600. "Based off the animated Disney classic "Fantasia", Sorcerer's Apprentice puts players in charge of Mickey Mouse as he collects and shoots stars and meteors on the mountaintops to keep the walking brooms from filling the Sorcerer's cavern below." http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-2600/sorcerers-apprentice
