One of the big releases for Disney next year is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The live-action film that’s very loosely based on the famous scene in Fantasia where Mickey Mouse uses magic to animate a mop, but things then kind of get out of hand.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure). Nicholas Cage plays the Sorcerer… Jay Baruchel is the Apprentice and Alfred Molina is the bad guy.

Apple released the trailer last night, and I’ve given it a couple of plays, but still can’t decide if I like it or not. Although it doesn’t give much away, my initial thoughts are the plot will be weak and the CG a bit overdone. But saying that I think it could be good fun, and it’s different enough to make me want to see it. What do you think?

Check it out after the break…
