He may not be named Mickey (he's actually unnamed in both worlds, period), but he is in fact, the Heir of Disney. I know The Sorceror's Apprentice is not actually a Disney original, so he's not explicitly Mickey, but everyone only knows it because of Fantasia, so most people will assume the Apprentice is Mickey Mouse.

I know he has been on the show or seen on the show as dolls, as an item in Mr. Golds shop (I think I saw that in Season 1) as an outfit that a baby was wearing, and as the mouse the Apprentice was turned into. If he were to be seen as an actual talking and maybe even recurring character, I think that would be jumping the shark. I just don't see a way that having Mickey or anyone else like him on the show would make sense.

And while The Sorcerer's Apprentice is widely known from Fantasia, I was first a poem which was then turned into a symphonic poem. That piece of music was then used in Fantasia, but many people know of it outside of Fantasia (If you haven't ever heard the piece, go listen to the soundtrack to Fantasia 2000, it's freaking awesome.)
