Exploring: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Exploring: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Expectations:

I'm still curious about The Sorcerer's Apprentice but it this curiosity is transitioning into excitement.

On the Plus side

• The trailer looks cool

• It's a story of magic in modern society

• Nicholas Cage and Jerry Brookhimer film:  the action sequences should be full of magical explosions

The movie is a live-action re-imagining of the Mickey Mouse Sorcerer's Apprentice segment in Disney's Fantasia.  I love Fantasia and this being a re-imagining creates some concerns whether they are able to pull it off.

Trailer #2

This trailer is a good intro into the movie.  They show off some of the magic and gives us an idea of what the movie is about.

Trailer #1

This one is mainly only good for additional footage like the neat mini dragon becoming a ring moment.
