A movie that hasn’t been made before? Fantasy.

The Disney Night dance of real estate brokers and professional dancers — which will require some seriously fast footwork — will be accompanied by the song “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” from the 1940 film, one of the studio’s earliest films.

According to Slater, none of the music from Fantasy was ever performed on DWTSwhich is currently in its 32nd season.

Both expressed surprise that it took so long to appear on the ABC series — “but we’re doing it,” Slater said.

“You’ll have to tune in to watch,” Umansky added.
