The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010 film) The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010 film) The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American action-fantasy film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the team behind the "National Treasure" franchise. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer and Monica Bellucci. The film is named after a segment in Disney's 1940 film "Fantasia" called "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" starring Mickey Mouse (with one scene being an extensive reference to it), which in turn is based on the late-1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and the 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad.
